Building websites that actually work in Kurdish and Arabic

Most "Arabic versions" of websites are the English site with translated strings poured in. The layout still flows left-to-right, the Arabic text renders in a default system font, and numbers jump around sentences. Users notice in the first second.

Doing it properly means logical CSS properties so the layout mirrors itself, an Arabic-script typeface chosen to match the Latin one in weight and character, numerals that keep their direction inside RTL text, and hreflang metadata so Google serves each reader the right language.

In our market this is not a nice-to-have. A site that respects all three languages tells customers something about how you will treat them.
