Hi Abdelhak,

thank you for already having a go at playing with the website :D

I'd probably need to mirror the image in my mind to be able to imagine how
it will appear to a native RTL reader/writer ;)

Yes, it would help us if you could make a bug report for inkscape-web, at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web , where you request that Arabic be
added to the website's languages, and, maybe in a separate report, also
give your suggestions for necessary changes (it would be really great if
you could append a patch file, some day, of course ;-), but that isn't a
requirement).

Any help you can give here will be very much appreciated (we will need the
input of someone who knows how things need to look to get it right).

And don't worry, there's no hurry - it sounds like it will become an
exciting year for you anyway, even without this kind of undertaking.

Regards,
 Maren
