THE Group for Authors! discussion

Hello,

I've created my account at Goodreads just recently. However, I found no where in the website where I can have my profile displayed in other languages. If this feature is supported, then I'd really appreciate advising me on how to use it, otherwise, I strongly recommend adding this feature as it helps authors spread more rather than limiting them to the community of their native language.

It would be useful if any author can, via his page, create his own profile in different languages, while other users can view (by default) the page that matches their preferred language.

Also, as I'm concerned about Arabic language, I strongly recommend that the website is enhanced to support Right-to-Left languages. Currently, text written in Arabic is unfortunately displayed from left to right, which makes reading bit annoying. You may still keep the interface in English if you are not attempting to create an Arabic version of Goodreads, however, it is important to get right-to-left languages like supported.

Note:
If the attention to create an Arabic version of the website exists, I'm personally pleased to provide the necessary support for the process of translation where needed.

Hope the above is taken in consideration.


Thanks and best regards,
Dr. Nader Al Mallah - Bahrain
