arabic-ui

Authentic Arabic writing, UI/UX microcopy, and RTL engineering. Use when writing, translating, or reviewing Arabic interfaces, dashboards, articles, documentation, or copy. Enforces classical syntactic flow, eliminates translationese (العرنجية), applies Al-Jahiz's density principle, and handles Arabic pluralization and bidirectional layout.

# Authentic Arabic Writing & UI Localization (العربية الفصيحة للواجهات والمقالات)

High-fidelity, concise Arabic text engineered for modern digital interfaces, articles, technical documentation, and long-form writing. Enforces native Arabic grammar, 6-category pluralization, verbal sentence momentum, and strict anti-calque vocabulary.

---

## Operational Workflow

Determine the target domain and follow the appropriate path:

### Mode A: UI & Interface Microcopy (Buttons, Alerts, Inputs, Dashboards)
1. **Map Element Type to Grammatical Form**: Match UI elements to target grammatical forms via Section 1.1 (e.g., المصدر for buttons, فعل الأمر for placeholders).
2. **Draft Concise Microcopy**: Eliminate auxiliary verbs and calques via Section 3 (Checklist) and [references/aranjiya-glossary.md](references/aranjiya-glossary.md).
3. **Format Dynamic Counters**: Route numbers through `formatArabicPlural()` in [scripts/pluralize.ts](scripts/pluralize.ts) with dual case inflection (`nominative` vs `oblique`).
