We appreciate your efforts in including the Arabic language on the website, making it more accessible for Arabic-speaking players. However, we noticed that Arabic is not yet available in the game itself. Including Arabic in the game would further enhance the experience for a growing Arabic-speaking community, ensuring full accessibility and a more inclusive environment. We hope this can be considered in future updates!


Edit: I'm talking about (stable) not (Lazer) + i remember seeing arabic language in game when I was playing on another pc i don't know how is this working.

but is there any osu version that supports arabic? (Stable)

The major issue here is that Arabic is written right-to-left which makes support difficult outside of browsers. It basically breaks most presumptions about text positioning, to the point some websites to my knowledge will flip their entire UI layout to accommodate it. Maybe the osu! website doesn't do that, but there are still many cases where this complicates matters, such as text entry and selection.

Browsers will handle these for websites, but with the game client everything has to be hand-implemented. This is a very high buy-in cost.
