Designing for Arabic and English
A bilingual interface needs more than translated labels. Direction, typography and content structure affect how people use each page.
Plan both directions
Place navigation, actions and field labels according to the reading direction. Use logical spacing properties and check directional icons individually. Numbers, email addresses and technical identifiers may still need their own direction.
Design with real text
Test Arabic and English headings, buttons and validation messages early. Their lengths differ, so avoid fixed widths that only work for one language. Choose readable Arabic typography and allow comfortable line spacing.
Review complete tasks
Test mobile navigation, filters, forms, authentication and error pages in both languages. Language switching should retain a relevant destination and clearly show the current choice.
