After a twelve year wait, DOW finally has Arabic language functionality. I am over the moon. Thanks to Yasser the magician, who revived his programming skills from 20 years ago and took a dive in this blog’s underbelly. Guest bloggers and I can write in Arabic, and Arabic speaking readers can post their comments in Arabic. Posts can either be in the English Left to Right (LTR) interface, or readers can click on the green flag on the blog’s menu (just under the main DOW title) which will take you to the Right to Left (RTL) interface, which looks better since Arabic is an RTL language. To convey my profound gratitude, I asked Yasser to write the first Arabic entry on DOW. Other Arabic-language guest bloggers will follow.
