Have a nice day,
Mohammad

Egyptian Arabic


I though you would have list it like the other Arabic one.

You have.
- Arabic
- Arabic (Gulf)
- Egyptian Arabic
- Algerian Arabic
- Iraqi Arabic
- Moroccan Arabic
- North Levantine Arabic

I think it would be better if you rename them
- Arabic
- Arabic (Gulf)
- Arabic (Egypt)
- Arabic (Algeria)
- Arabic (Iraq)
- Arabic (Morocco)
- Arabic (North Levantine)

Hello, Mohammed. اهلا وسهلا
We have different varieties of Arabic, if you contribute in Arabic (with a green flag) it's supposed to be الفصحى‬‎.
For Arabic (Egypt) and Arabic (Gulf) we have different flags.
I recommend you to take a look at this guide before you start contributing

Have a nice day.

+1

Really need to change the names to using parentheses, they're much easier to find.

I know we have to do this because we don't have a better language selector at hand, but it is unclear as to when we will have one. Until then, we should group language varieties together.

I agree. This could be used also for all the Chinese varieties we have on Tatoeba

If I keep up to my plans, we should have one 4-5 weeks. For the next few weeks my focus is to redesign elements of the homepage, but once that is done, I'll work on the language selector.
