Yes it's always read right to left, which can be confusing when you combine English and Arabic. When you reach the Arabic word or sentence you jump to its beginning which is the first Arabic letter to the right, read it from there to the left, and then continue to the next English word when you're done.

It's somewhat difficult to translate, because Arabic doesn't have the concept of case in letters. Usually you can use "حروف صغيرة” or ”حروف كبيرة" which literally translates as "small letters" and "big letters" when referencing other languages. For the general "letter case" you can use "حالة الأحرف". So it'll be something like : تجاهل حالة الأحرف.
So here you substitute الرسالة for the correct word الأحرف to mean "letters"
I hope this is a joke because the Arabic translation is so wrong. It's also confusing because Arabic is written from right to left so it'll just create a mess. The translators are using "letter case" and translated it literally to Arabic. The word used doesn't mean "letter" as in a letter in the alphabet but "letter" as in what you send in the post office. These are totally different words in Arabic.
Yea I am using the "official" app on Android and didn't have that issues. It seems to be only on IOS. She switched to Metatext now and didn't have that issue.
She ia using the "official" Mastodon app because I didn't wanna confuse her first. She's on Metatext now and the issue is gone
It's not even available in many countries. Even if it were, the price is steep especially in third world economies. It's probably not that big of deal for many in the US but most people in third world countries would find it so hard to squeeze it into their budget.
What I'm saying here has been said over and over again by leftist theorists who see the obsession with Trump as actually a mistake. It remains on the surface as this kind of politics of negativity (negativity in the philosophical sense )
I am actually a leftist who wants a proper left and not some dressed up liberal shit that's just a consumable authoritarianism.
Alright if you say so. I might be wrong about this. But this overzealous response I got here is interesting. I still think there's a valid critique of Trump but there's a hysterics of Trump that functions in a weird way. The obsession, even now, with his every move and every word is interesting and for me goes beyond the simple fact that he was a bad president. It's as if he becomes the stand-in for a proper systematic critique
Maybe just your reality ? I am Arabic and I can see the destabilization that's occurring right in front of me due to the stupid blunders that Biden is doing. I have never felt that with Trump.
Why did you assume I am a European though ? I am Arabic and I can assure you Biden is having more of a destabilizing effect on me than Trump ever did.
I know what Trump said. I know he said dumb shit. That's not my point. I am not saying Trump is good.
