Awesome amount of work. Thanks.

You (or someone else) introduced some errors:

Should we do something regarding numerals? As far as I understand, using Arabic language in JOSM keeps the common "Western Arabic numerals" (​wikipedia:Arabic_numerals), which is correct for most countries. Should we switch to "Eastern Arabic numerals" (​wikipedia:Eastern_Arabic_numerals) when JOSM is in Arabic and we detect particular countries? Are there arabic-speaking countries where only eastern numerals are being used? It's possible to switch using a locale extension: ​https://stackoverflow.com/a/29155743/2257172

eastern Arabic numerals and western Arabic numerals both used in Arabic countries and they know it and understand it but the official for writing system is:
western Arabic numerals (0123456789) is used mostly for the Arab countries in Africa
eastern Arabic numerals (۰ ۱ ۲ ۳ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ۸ ۹)is used mostly for the Arab countries in Asia

and here a list of i did it for you from my information:

western Arabic numerals :
Comoros
Djibouti
Mauritania
Palestine
Libya
Tunisia
Somalia
Morocco
Sudan
Algeria

eastern Arabic numerals:
Bahrain
Qatar
Kuwait
Oman
Lebanon
United Arab Emirates
Jordan
Syria
Yemen
Saudi Arabia
Iraq
Egypt

Do you know the difference between the two?

see #18856 - override numbering format as follows:

  • Eastern Arabic(-Indic) numerals if Arabic language is used in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt
  • Khmer numerals if Khmer language is used in Cambodge

What is 'Espaces?'

If you make such a change you also need to give users a chance to override this in the prefs.

comment:19 by stoecker, 4 years ago

Also: Did you test BugReports? They will be useless with non-latin numbers.

Nop, testing it right now.

Thank to every Arabic speaker who keeps translating JOSM!
There's an issue in latest translations, example:

The {0} part has not been kept in all translations, it should be. Can anyone understanding Arabic please fix it?

comment:25 by hubaishan@…, 3 years ago

Arabic has 6 plural rules first three of them (0,1,2) does not need the number to be in the translation. So code not need to check all format entries in Arabic plural translation.

to see explanation of this see ​https://arabeyes.org/Plural_Forms

If we put the number it will be ugly Arabic text.

comment:26 by Don-vip, 3 years ago

OK, thanks, I didn't know the plural rules of Arabic.

@Dirk are you sure we shouldn't adapt the script that checks for translation issues?

comment:27 by stoecker, 3 years ago

"Ugly Arabic" text is relative. The same effect applies to many other languages, where e.g. 1 is also one of the plurals, so you could write e.g. Ein Haus and {0} Häuser for {0} house/{0} houses in German, nevertheless we use the form {0} Haus. In most languages there is also a slight semantic difference between the numbered form and the textual form, e.g. in German 1 Haus and Ein Haus are nearly the same, but not exactly. And all these languages follow the established rules.

I'm pretty sure that Arabic also supports text forms which include the numbers directly instead of using textual description. In most cases in the software the fact that a number is displayed as a number also tells the user not only the number itself, but also the fact that there could be different numbers - the textual form doesn't do this.

If I'm wrong about Arabic I'd fix the i18n tester (which I doubt, as there are already other Arabic trn() translations), otherwise please fix the strings.

comment:28 by stoecker, 3 years ago

I changed the check script, so that arabic plurals 1,2 and 3 can leave out a single {0}.

For texts with more complex the replacements the sanity checks will remain in place as they are for any other language. I'll clean up the translations by removing the broken texts if not fixed, so our is not overflooded with issues.

I don't know if before or after your review, but there are 10 warnings for Arabic language:

jenkins/job/JOSM-i18n/2224/parsed_console/

As far as I can see these are all errors with the double quotes (note: for Java '' means output ').
