Guide Arabic software localization, RTL layout adaptation, bidirectional text (BiDi) handling, Arabic typography, and pluralization. Use when building or refactoring UI components for Arabic, adapting CSS/Tailwind for RTL, handling mixed Arabic/English strings, or configuring i18next/Intl for Arabic locales (ar-SA, ar-EG, ar).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Arabic Localization & RTL Engineering Skill (تعريب البرمجيات وهندسة RTL)

## Quick Start (البداية السريعة)

When adapting frontends (React, Vue, Svelte, HTML/CSS) for Arabic:
1. **HTML Root**: Always set `<html lang="ar" dir="rtl">`.
2. **CSS Logical Properties**: Replace directional properties with logical ones:
   - `margin-left` / `margin-right` $\to$ `margin-inline-start` / `margin-inline-end`
   - `padding-left` / `padding-right` $\to$ `padding-inline-start` / `padding-inline-end`
   - `left` / `right` $\to$ `inset-inline-start` / `inset-inline-end`
   - `text-align: left` $\to$ `text-align: start`
3. **Tailwind CSS**: Use `ms-`, `me-`, `ps-`, `pe-`, `start-`, `end-` instead of `ml-`, `mr-`, etc.

## Bidirectional (BiDi) & Mixed Text Rules (معالجة النصوص ثنائية الاتجاه)

### 1. Punctuation Jumping & Weak Characters
When Arabic text ends with numbers, code snippets, or English words followed by punctuation, neutral characters (like periods or parentheses) often flip incorrectly:
- **Solution**: Use the Right-to-Left Mark (RLM: `&rlm;` or `\u200F`) after Latin text or numbers at the end of an Arabic sentence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add engdawood/awesome-arabic-claude-skills/arabic-localization-rtl@sha256:c4a6ec6c16caef5a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.a5d937c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
