The High Price of “Good Enough” Localization
Think a quick translation or basic RTL support is enough? Think again. Even small localization issues can wreck user experience and credibility.
These examples show you the purchase-breaking pain experienced by millions of RTL users when basic rules of directionality, text isolation, and standard numeric formatting are ignored. Every issue shown here has been reversed into English so you can immediately see the functional chaos caused by poor internationalization code.
Note: Examples shown with English UI for clarity – actual issues occur in Arabic/RTL contexts.
Credit card form laid wrongly
The order and position of fields (number, date, CVC) are forcing the customer to read against the natural flow. Worse, some essential elements like a terms checkbox are unreachable, which can completely stop the purchase.
Main Buttons are Out of Flow
The most important button, like “Confirm Order” or “Next” is placed where the customer’s eye starts, instead of where it naturally finishes reading a page.
Confusing Checkout Steps
The progress bar a customer sees during checkout appear to run from left-to-right, which is the reverse of how Arabic is read. This makes it look like the customer is going backwards or losing progress.
Cluttered numbers and punctuation
Mixed Arabic/English text can look jumbled — digits and symbols attach to the wrong word or side. The corrected screen formats numbers and separators, so amounts read cleanly at a glance.
Formatting that breaks readability
Without proper isolation, parts of the text stick to the wrong side — it looks broken and causes mistakes. The fixed version keeps every group in its place, so the info is readable and reliable.
Words that users don’t actually use
Literal or uncommon wording makes people hesitate: “Is this what I think it is?” The fixed copy uses familiar Arabic terms, so choices are instantly clear and confidence returns.
