Add arabic language

[Natsuki]

Add arabic language
Steam added alot of unknown languages but not arabic
Since arabic is from the top speaking language and alot of steam users are arabs why there is no arabic?

Q: Will you be adding any additional languages to STS?

We do appreciate your interest in the Steam Translation Server and improving Steam for users in your region. However, we currently aren't looking into adding any further languages to STS.

Also, there is a thing about right to left writing that does not work well here. I'll find the other thread on that and edit my post.

He does have a point though.

He could also use the search function...?

He does not. Number of speakers is meaningless if you have next to no potential customers in this group. Take a look at the download stats for the Middle East and Magreb.Compare it to Vietnam which recently got rekindled attention.

At the moment, Steam has a technical limitation which means it can't support any language which is written right-to-left, and this precludes Arabic support.

However, there is a big rewrite of the Steam UI coming which will (probably) lift this limitation and mean that Steam can support Arabic.

It's probably also an encouraging sign that this month Arabic appeared in the language section of the Steam hardware survey: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey This may mean that Valve are internally prepping for Arabic support.
