I want to add Arabic translation for the theme, beside English, Català and Español. What do you think?

Why?

To show how the theme support RTL languages.

What about the maintaining?

I'll maintain the Arabic version, just mention me and I'll update it soon as possible.

Hey Awiteb!

I think it's a fantastic idea. That would really show the possibilities of tabi's i18n.

My only concern is…

I'll maintain the Arabic version, just mention me and I'll update it soon as possible.

Are you sure about this? I really appreciate the offer, but I don't want to impose too much work. Just translating the entire Mastering tabi post will take quite some time.

Note: I wouldn't expect human-translation on everything. What I generally do is write the docs in English, machine translate (DeepL, Claude, ChatGPT, or Google Translate) to Catalan/Spanish, and make the necessary (often minor) edits.

P.S: Thank you so much for the sponsorship! I really appreciate it~

Are you sure about this?

Yes, I use the theme on my personal blog, this is the least I can do.

I don't like AI/Google translations, they write very bad Arabic that lacks many things, I will write it myself. I think I will finish it this week.

By the way, I hope you don't translate anything Arabic through them, for example, the "by_author" translation is incorrect (I will correct it). It means "by pen" and writing in the blog is definitely not done with a pen. Just mention me on any Arabic thing and I will done it.

When I add a feature I do use the AI translations. I provide context to reduce the probability of wrong translations, but it's not perfect, as you've pointed out.

I'll try to remember to ping you to check future translations :)

Your PRs, reviews, starring the project, and the sponsorship are certainly more than enough!

I really appreciate the support. If you insist, I'll gladly take a PR (can be incomplete) with the Arabic translations.
