This commit adds a complete Arabic translation. The translation was performed using GPT-5-Codex with a highly optimized prompt, leveraging AI-assisted translation to ensure natural, contextual, and realistic wording rather than literal translations. Key points: - Translation covers all in-mod text strings for the map mod. - Maintains consistency with previous translations applied across 190+ other mods. - Ensures compatibility with the mod's UI and in-game text formatting. - AI-assisted approach allows batch translation with high accuracy and natural language flow. This update significantly improves the accessibility and user experience for Arabic-speaking players.

I appreciate the effort behind the pull request -- it's great to see people contributing to Arabic support. Unfortunately, after reviewing the translation, I have to ask that you please don't merge this pull request. As a native Arabic speaker, I can tell that the translation was generated by an LLM and contains multiple inaccuracies -- some abbreviations were translated to unrelated synonyms, among other issues. -- I'm working on a fully human-generated version and would be happy to assist or collaborate if you like. |

@AlafariAbdullah any update? |

@AlafariAbdullah As a native Arabic speaker from Saudi Arabia, fluent in both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the neutral 'White Arabic' (which is universally understood across all Arab regions rather than a specific local dialect), I want to reassure you about the quality of the strings. First, I highly encourage you to test the mod in-game to see the final result firsthand. I completely understand your concerns regarding AI localization, but I want to clarify that this was a carefully guided and technical process, not a blind automated translation:
A lot of care went into this localization. If you test it and spot any out-of-place text, please don't trouble yourself with fixing or translating it. Just drop a screenshot or point out the location, and I will fix it immediately and 100% manually (no AI involved). Thanks again for your review, and a huge thank you to the mod owners, creators, and all the contributors for this amazing mod. I highly value constructive criticism and I am ready to implement any modifications to ensure the best possible localization. |
