ARABIC 03

Arabic deserves a writing system of its own.

Arabic paragraphs keep their own direction and rhythm, even when English names, numbers or citations appear inside the line.

This page explains the Arabic system to an English reader; it does not imitate its layout.

Write Arabic without rearranging yourself for the editor.

An Arabic paragraph should begin on the right and stay there when an English name or number appears inside it. When the next paragraph is English, only that paragraph needs to change direction.

Booksت هذه المObserveة بArabic لأن الفكرة أوضح لي هنا. اسم HubSpot لا يقلب اتجاه الفقرة.

The client-facing paragraph can begin in English on the next line.

ثم أعود للعربية من دون أن أعيد ضبط المستند بيدي.

An English name should not turn an Arabic sentence inside out.

Real work puts numbers, acronyms and product names inside Arabic sentences. You should not need a separate line simply to keep the cursor under control.

وصل المشروع إلى TRL 6، وستبدأ التجربة مع Microsoft Word قبل الانتقال إلى النشر الأوسع.

The paragraph stays Arabic. The English fragments keep only their own direction.
موضع واحد يحتاج إلى إصلاح

هاذا التقرير جاهز للمراجعة، لكنني لم أرسل النسخة النهائية بعد.

The first word has a spelling error. The rest of the sentence does not need rewriting.

If one word is wrong, do not rewrite the paragraph.

Bayan separates a small correction from a rewrite. When the rest of the sentence already works, it should stay where the writer put it.

Sometimes the language is fine and the sentence still needs your judgement.

If a claim is stronger than the evidence in the draft, that is not a grammar problem. Bayan can point to the gap without deciding the truth on your behalf.

أثبتت التجربة أن النظام يعمل بصورة مستقلة بالكامل في كل بيئات التشغيل.

Not every keystroke needs a cloud review.

Everyday spelling and proofing can begin locally. If you explicitly ask for a deeper review that needs more context, Bayan should make that change of scope visible before it starts.

While you writeLocal proofing stays with the text in place.
When you request a deeper reviewBayan tells you that the request needs additional context before it is sent.

And when Bayan does not know, it should say so.

A word may be rare, dialectal or tied to a context the current knowledge does not cover. Visible uncertainty is better than a confident correction invented on the spot.

Example“I do not have enough evidence to judge this use. Keep it as written or open a wider source.”

Start with the sentence that is already in your head.

Arabic or English. The editor should follow the writing, not make the writing follow the editor.
