Why Comelite for your Multi-Lingual Websites & Apps?
Working with customers from ME for more than 12 years, I
noticed that one of the clients’ concerns is about Comelite’s capability in
developing websites with Arabic language. However, in all cases of working with
us, all of them are satisfied in the end.
Comelite is a US based company working globally which has
expanded its activities in MENA region in recent years. Also it is good to know
that in just the past 8 months, Comelite expanded its sales and marketing dept.
by recruiting more than 5 new account executives who are educated in the Arabic
language.
Comelite designers and developers are all familiar with
Arabic and other RTL languages. They have the ability to design and develop
bilingual or multi-lingual websites and mobile apps, graphical designs,
multimedia productions and management systems.
At first, working with Arabic language (which is an RTL
language - Right to Left) unlike English which is LTR was a big challenge for
us. Software, programming tools and source codes were not adjusted and produced
unreadable texts and images, damaging data.
We’d spend days fixing errors in data and in some cases we’d just leave
it and call it a day. But gradually we discovered the rules of treating RTL
languages and their UTF8 encoding. We found
out how to migrate data to different systems without losing them and creating
correct RTL pages from the beginning, abiding by international standards.
Another issue to consider
were fonts and specifications of each RTL language. For example, in the Kurdish
language, or the Arabic language, not using the right fonts would result in changing
the meaning of words. Here, with the help of our customers, we learned the special
aspects of characters and how they should be displayed and read, ad our teams learned
the solutions.
Apart from the technical
parts, we currently have expert translators for translating Arabic to English
and vice versa. (Of course we can translate other languages as well but in this
article we are focused on Arabic).
Finally after 13 years
of experience in working in the MENA region, we have reached a point that has
brought us forward in comparison to our competitors in this region. We can
ensure our full guarantee in our IT services especially when it comes to
different languages.
