Guys , what to do with numbers ? should we write them in Arabic,
leave
blank or write them as is in English ?
In an ideal world this shouldn't matter at all. The client program should have
the option to display the numbers in which ever format (Arabic or European)
should the need arise irrespective of how is it written.
What about special characters , should we write them as is , or leave
blank
you right special characters like HTML and XML tags as they are, e.g.
<h1>ARABIC</h1> and also in things like \n, \r, ... all should be written as
they are. Just be careful that it's better to copy and paste the English
string and then replace the English text leaving the tags/characters as they
are rather than typing them manually. This will save you the headache called
mirroring issues and would guarantee the most correct translation.
Keep up the good work.
