Treat Arabic as a layout system, not a translation layer
Arabic changes the direction, rhythm, punctuation, and visual weight of a page. Starting with an English layout and simply pasting translated copy usually creates a document that technically works but feels wrong to read.
Check numbers and punctuation in context
Mixed Arabic and Latin strings are where small problems hide. A number, percent sign, or bracket can look correct in one line and reverse in the next. Review them inside the final paragraph, not as isolated strings.
Use a production checklist before export
My final pass covers shaping, line endings, mirrored elements, font embedding, and PDF output. A short checklist is faster than rebuilding a document after a client finds the problem.
