An Arabic board portal, built right to left
What Arabic support means in Mithaq: a right-to-left interface, Arabic and English fields on governance records, Arabic PDFs and Word files, and Arabic pages with their own URLs.
Does Mithaq work fully in Arabic?
The board workspace runs in Arabic or English, switched per user, with the Arabic interface laid out right to left. Meetings, agenda items, decisions, votes, declarations and templates carry an Arabic field and an English field, so a board can keep its record in Arabic and still produce an English copy. Minutes export to PDF and Word with Arabic that joins and reads correctly.
- Two languages in the record, not one language and a translation
- Right to left in the layout, not only in the text
- Documents that keep Arabic intact
- Arabic pages that search engines can find
Two languages in the record, not one language and a translation
Most governance records in Mithaq have a pair of fields: titleEn and titleAr, summaryEn and summaryAr, minutesEn and minutesAr. The Arabic field is not a translation slot filled later. On a board that deliberates in Arabic, the Arabic text is the one the board voted on, and Mithaq keeps it with the same care: every save of the minutes stores both texts, and the version history shows changes to the Arabic as clearly as to the English.
Where a board wants a second language quickly, a translation assistant can propose the other text. The secretary still reviews it before saving, because a translation made after a vote is a second text with no vote behind it.
Right to left in the layout, not only in the text
The Arabic interface mirrors the whole layout. The sidebar opens from the right, drawers slide in from the left, direction arrows flip, and the spacing rules use logical properties (start and end) rather than left and right, so a new screen does not come out half mirrored. Arabic text uses IBM Plex Sans Arabic, and English uses Inter.
We test the Arabic layout on a phone-width screen, because that is where a right-to-left page most often overflows sideways. A page that scrolls horizontally on an Arabic phone fails our checks.
Documents that keep Arabic intact
Arabic breaks in documents more often than on screen. Tools that draw text without Arabic shaping print disconnected letters in the wrong order. Mithaq renders its PDFs (minutes, board packs, letters, certificates) through a browser engine that shapes Arabic, and it writes Word exports with right-to-left runs, so the file a director opens in Word reads the same as the screen.
Arabic pages that search engines can find
A language switch that only swaps text in the browser is invisible to a search engine. Every Arabic page on mithaq.om, including this one, is a separate URL under /ar with its own canonical link, and each pair of pages declares the other as its language alternate. A page with no Arabic text has no Arabic URL, rather than an Arabic address that serves English.
