Hey there! I have enabled the Egyptian Arabic locale on Crowdin. However, do note that we are unlikely to support RTL locales initially (it may be available on staging versions of the site in the future for testing purposes).

I know Discord doesn't properly support RTL and bidirectional text either, but can you please include the native name of Egyptian Arabic in this thread's name via parentheses, similar to other threads in #1021053424185389107 channel? It's good for consistency and discoverability

No worries, I probably could've worded my message better. Thank you for fixing that and your interest in translating Modrinth! :)

You are referring to Modern Standard Arabic, and that's true that it's widely adopted and considered to be the official language in Egypt. This, however, doesn't dismiss the existence of Egyptian Arabic, which is its own local dialect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Arabic.

We don't have problems with dialects, and we already have German and Swiss German, Malay and Jawi Malay, and even joke ones like English and Pirate English + LOLCAT, Russian and Bandit Russian. We never rely on a geographical location to select a locale, following only browser preferences, which means most Arabic speakers will have Arabic selected for them*, and if they want, they will be able to change settings to use the dialect*.

* That, of course, given that a locale clears our inclusion criteria (e.g., a certain number of translations) in the first place. This specifically applies to any RTL locales, since we do not currently support those (but hopefully in the long future, as there is clearly a demand, so we perhaps can work with the community to properly support RTL layouts)
