Increasing accessibility for Right To Left
summary
Open Science Community Saudi Arabia localizes The Turing Way and other open resources using a workflow that combines a Translation Management System, translation memory, QA checks and content integrated with GitHub, and reports that many TMSs fail when mixing Arabic and English. Outcome: shared translation memory and repos reused across languages, used by contributors for Mandarin, Japanese and Spanish. Key numbers cited: RTL scripts serve over 2.5 billion people, Arabic ~500M, Urdu ~100M; localization increases real usability.
