This the official language in 27 countries should be added ASAP.

VS Code itself does not have plan to enable bi-di support yet. So we won't enable any bi-di language in Transifex at this moment to avoid waste community member's time.
We record this message in request language wiki. See 3rd paragraph.

I will contribute if bi-di is enabled.
Thanks

Hi everyone,

Just referencing all the issues about:

1. Arabic Translation
   [loc]Request to add Arabic (Syria) (ar_SY) language to Transifex VS Code project #47826 [loc]Request to Arabic (Egypt) (ar_EG) language to Transifex VS Code project #48389 [loc]Request to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) (ar_SA) language to Transifex VS Code project #49667 [Loc] Request to add Arabic (Sudan) (ar_SD) language to Transifex VS Code project  #51066

note for people that opened the issues above: Its better to translate the Arabic (generic) first cause more people use it.

2. RTL support
   How to add an RTL layout for editing Hebrew & Arabic documents (Not code) #45180 Terminal doesn't support RTL languages #28571 RTL Word Wrapping Issue #14019 Support for RTL languages #11770

I'm interested in contributing whenever supporting bi-directional languages is on the radar.

Interested in contributing.

I will contribute to to Arabic, let's know how we can do that.
As for the Arabic languages, there is no Arabic (Saudi Arabia), Arabic (Egypt), or Arabic (Syria). these are dialects and they have no alphabets.

[mahrousfci]

I am interested also for Arabic language, I think there is no a real need for supporting dialects, and the basic official is sufficient

We don't have plan to enable additional language for VSCode in MLCP in near term. Hence close the request here.
New request should be logged in Localization Community Repo
