How is the Arabic language removed from the game even though it has fans in the Arab world??? Why don't you respect the minority in the game constantly

    The reason is to spend more resources, this is not convincing at all. I mean, Kabam expels the minority who use the Arabic language, this seems to me unfair

    Maths.
    Money spent supporting Arabic > money made supporting Arabic. Sucks but that's the golden equation.

    Why was the easiest solution chosen? There must be solutions other than the abolition of the Arabic language. The idea of ​​suppressing the minority, I thought, existed only in politics, but it was present in entertainment materials.

    Kabam company chooses the easiest solution, not the only one

    It is not suppressing the minority. There are a lot of languages not supported. MOST games only let you choose between a handful of languages.
    If keeping the translator for the language is costing the company money, they stop hiring him/her. Choices like that are made to keep a company running.
    If more Arabic people would pay Kabam money they would keep translating the language.

    And from the looks of it, it is not a personal problem for you. Since you seem to be decently fluent in english.

    No one is abolishing Arabic. It's still there. Kabam no longer finds it economical to keep up the arabic interface is all

    I mastered the English language through Google Translate. As for the language, I consider it personal. Why was the Chinese language not cut out, knowing that there is a version of the game for China and the Portuguese, Italian or Spanish languages? These languages ​​are very close to each other and they can understand most of the words between them, so when we say this is a form of racism, I am not speaking out of thin air.

    It is not racism. It's impossible for them to include every language in the world. I have no idea why they ended it, but there are a number of factors that go behind decisions like this. Anything from allocating resources, to the number of Players who require it. These things aren't decided lightly, and they're never with the intention of being ignorant to races, creeds, genders, or any personal identifier.

    They’ve never supported my language and I don’t think it’s racism

    Among all languages, there is a difference between being unsupported from the start and limiting it It may have been overrated as racist, but there must be a better solution other than that Because the game was loved by the Arabs because of the language and became an outlet for them

    Perhaps the game team is better than me in monitoring the number of players, but have you seen the Arab chat inside the game, how many people communicate with it?

    Google is free. As for word alignment, you face a problem with the design technician, not with the language. As for the costs, you are talking about the highest revenue-generating game. Where did you hear about the shame saying this, this talk can be said for a small store, it seems that all excuses have a convincing answer, Also, we do not play for free. There are many Arabs who spend a lot on the game

    If many Arabs spend money, why do you want to remove the Arabic language from the game?

    Yes. The game team is better at monitering the number of players. Even seeing 1000 people might count as high for an individual but not for a company

    Hey Everyone

    I wanted to give a bit more insight on this topic because I think it warrants a thorough explanation from a more technical angle.

    Supporting RTL languages like Arabic means flipping almost the entire UI horizontally. While we have some decent tech to handle this flip; there are often many edge cases where elements get flipped incorrectly and it pretty much just breaks the user interface. This means whenever we create a new screen or modify an existing one we almost inevitably will get a bunch of bugs relating to RTL layout. To fix this we often have to use a bunch of weird hacky workarounds and then make sure these fixes don’t break the game in the LTR format. In addition to this, I am told by our Loc team that there exist many intricacies in the Arabic language, that when pushed into our text components can cause them to not render correctly. This then requires them to go in manually and insert hidden extra characters to make it display correctly.

    We have done all of the above over the years because we value our Arabic players but there comes a point where it is no longer worth all of this effort in order to support the language. It genuinely makes me sad to think that there will be players that can no longer enjoy the Contest because we no longer support a language that they know and can fully understand. It’s, unfortunately, one of those things where every day we spend supporting RTL is a day we can’t spend fixing and making other things, and thus it no longer makes sense to support it.

    It seems that expressing an opinion in the forum leads to the banning of the game account permanently, even if I did not use cheating, and I challenge you to do so, as this account was suspended from the game, which I owned for four years. The forum is no longer to express In terms of opinion, I think that the game and its team have some hatred for Arab players

    Same, My language is also neither a part of the game from beginning. Hope our Arabic summoners understands technical aspect of game. :smile:
