hi all
am an arabic girl 😀

any way >> i'am wondering why didn't apple add the Arabic language to iphone

؟؟
even the ipod's Every Thing doesn't support Arabic language

ًِِWHY ?? 😕

if we buy one of apple product's we had 2 translat it By our selves 🙁

can any one answer me ??? 😕 😕

thank u .
 
Maybe because Apple doesn't really hold any marketshare in those countries. Although i heard there's a Arabic Translation of Leopard or Tiger Free For those in those countries.
 
I guess the sales volume perspective isn't high enough to justify a complete translation of OS X, since people who would potentially buy/use Apple stuff probably speaks english already.
 
Don't know why Apple doesn't support Arabic but they should. Have anyone been to Dubai? I think iPhones are a good match for that city.
 
Most of the Arabic language countries are multi-lingual, with most professionals understand English.

In addition it's harder to add non-standard keyboards.

theres a marketsahre 😀
& the arabic language we asked 4 is the original all arab know it bro
apple the only Huge international company with No support to arabic Although there is a high ((a BIG )) demand 🙄
people so upset of apple because of this issue
it's like that APPLE :apple: don't Respect arabian Customers needs 🙁

I guess the sales volume perspective isn't high enough to justify a complete translation of OS X, since people who would potentially buy/use Apple stuff probably speaks english already.
as i see here it's too high 😉


From what I understand, support for standard Arabic is not as straightforward as it seems, but here's something that was posted just a week or so ago.
