Arabic language missing from language selector

Open mhsabbagh opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open settings.
  2. Choose language.
  3. You will see that Arabic language is not available.

Expected behaviour

Arabic language should have been available at the language list. This is not a feature request but rather a bug because Arabic is already supported on the mobile/web apps (Screenshot attached), and it is translated completely for desktop at: https://translations.telegram.org/ar/tdesktop

So using it is just something missing that needs to be added and not a complete feature. Perhaps devs just forgot to include it in the list?

Well, the languages are marked separately for different apps as being "ready" for a widespread usage (not testing). I guess Arabic isn't considered ready for TDesktop (and I'm not sure it will be, because TDesktop isn't RTL-friendly in UI 😞, although I don't know if it's a strict requirement for an RTL language to be marked as "ready").
