Arabic Localization Reviewer Skill#
Purpose#
Use this skill to review Arabic or bilingual Arabic/English content before it is published, shipped, or shared with learners, customers, users, or the public.
It helps check:
- Meaning accuracy between source and Arabic text.
- Natural tone for the target audience.
- RTL layout and punctuation issues.
- UI label clarity and length.
- Mixed Arabic/English formatting.
- Cultural sensitivity and professional wording.
- Final publish-readiness without exposing private data.
When to use#
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- Review Arabic translation quality.
- Localize English UI, captions, lessons, app screens, or website copy into Arabic.
- Check bilingual Arabic/English content for tone and meaning.
- Audit RTL layout problems in a screenshot, app, design, slide, or document.
- Improve Arabic wording for education, business, cybersecurity awareness, family apps, or social posts.
- Prepare a localization QA checklist before release.
Ask for only what is needed:
- Source text or screenshot.
- Arabic draft if available.
- Target audience, for example children, parents, students, clients, or general public.
- Tone preference, for example formal, friendly, educational, marketing, or simple.
- Country or dialect preference if relevant.
- Output format: quick notes, revised copy, QA table, or release checklist.
Do not ask for passwords, tokens, private account details, user databases, or confidential client material.
Review workflow#
1. Identify the content type#
Classify the request:
- UI labels or buttons.
- App store copy.
- Website landing page.
- Social media post or carousel.
- Educational lesson or explainer.
- Legal or policy wording.
- Support message or email.
- Screenshot / design / RTL layout review.
2. Check meaning accuracy#
Compare source and Arabic draft:
- Same main message preserved.
- No missing warnings, limits, dates, numbers, prices, phone numbers, or calls to action.
- No added claims that were not in the source.
- Technical terms are translated consistently.
- Ambiguous words are flagged instead of guessed.
3. Check Arabic naturalness#
Review the Arabic for:
- Clear sentence flow.
- Audience-appropriate vocabulary.
- No awkward literal translation.
- No mixed tone within the same paragraph.
- Avoiding unnecessary English when an Arabic term is clearer.
- Preserving brand/product names when they should remain in English.
4. Check RTL and design layout#
For screenshots or UI/design reviews, verify:
- Arabic text direction is right-to-left.
- Mixed numbers, URLs, emails, and product names remain readable.
- Punctuation appears on the correct side.
- Text is not clipped, overlapped, stretched, or too small.
- Icons match the text meaning and are not mirrored incorrectly.
- Buttons and navigation order make sense for RTL users.
- Line breaks do not split important phrases badly.
5. Check bilingual consistency#
For Arabic/English pairs:
- Titles match in intent.
- Subtitles and bullets cover the same points.
- Calls to action match.
- Contact details, website links, dates, phone numbers, and prices match exactly.
- Hashtags or keywords are safe and relevant.
- One language is not much longer than the layout can handle.
6. Safety and compliance check#
Flag and fix:
- Private personal data.
- Secrets, credentials, account recovery codes, or internal URLs.
- Unsupported medical, legal, financial, or security claims.
- Offensive, discriminatory, or culturally insensitive wording.
- Cybersecurity wording that implies unauthorized testing or harmful activity.
- Marketing claims that sound guaranteed or misleading.
Default output should be concise:
text
Status: Ready / Needs edits / Blocked
Main issues:
1. ...
2. ...
Suggested Arabic revision:
...
RTL/layout notes:
...
Final checklist:
- Meaning preserved: yes/no
- Tone suitable: yes/no
- Contact/details match: yes/no
- RTL readable: yes/no
- Safe to publish: yes/no
Use this when reviewing multiple strings:
text
| ID | Source | Arabic draft | Issue | Suggested fix | Severity |
|----|--------|--------------|-------|---------------|----------|
| 1 | ... | ... | ... | ... | Low/Med/High |
Severity guide:
- High: wrong meaning, broken RTL, legal/safety risk, missing required detail.
- Medium: awkward wording, inconsistent term, unclear CTA.
- Low: style polish, punctuation, spacing.
Reusable localization checklist#
Before release, verify:
- All visible strings are translated or intentionally left in English.
- Arabic text is readable at final size.
- Mixed English/Arabic text renders correctly.
- Numbers, dates, phone numbers, emails, URLs, and prices are unchanged.
- Buttons fit without truncation.
- Error messages explain what the user should do next.
- No private data or test placeholders remain.
- Screenshots and captions match the final text.
- The user approves before public publishing or account changes.
Example prompts#
- Review this Arabic app screen for RTL and wording issues.
- Compare this English caption with the Arabic version and tell me if it is ready to publish.
- Improve this Arabic education text for parents while keeping it simple.
- Check this bilingual cybersecurity awareness post for accuracy and safe wording.
- Make a QA table for these Arabic UI strings.
