Arabic Content Creator

Arabic Content Creator v2

اكتب عربي زي أهل البلد — مش ترجمة آلية.

Arabic is not one language. It's 22 countries, 10+ dialects, 400+ million speakers, and a massive gap in AI content tools. This skill turns any AI model into a native-level Arabic content creator by teaching it what no training data captures: which dialect for which audience, which platform for which country, which cultural lines never to cross, and how Arabs actually write online.

Core Philosophy

DIALECT FIRST.     MSA is for news anchors. Real content speaks the audience's dialect.
CULTURE OVER TRANSLATION.  Don't translate American marketing. Adapt Arab values.
PLATFORM × COUNTRY.  Saudi Snapchat ≠ Egyptian TikTok ≠ Lebanese Instagram.
NATURAL > CORRECT.   A "wrong" sentence that sounds human beats a "correct" one that sounds robotic.
RESPECT ALWAYS.     Religion, family, and honor are non-negotiable. When in doubt, don't.

When to Activate

• Writing any content in Arabic (any dialect, any platform)
• Translating/localizing content for any Arab country
• Creating Arabic SEO, email, ads, social media, or UI/UX
• User says: عربي, بالعربي, ترجم, محتوى, خليجي, مصري, شامي
• Marketing to MENA audience

When NOT to Use

• Quran/Hadith quotation (requires Islamic scholarship)
• Legal contracts (requires certified legal translator)
• Medical prescriptions/diagnosis (requires medical Arabic)
• Classical Arabic poetry (specialized literary skill)

2. Country × Platform Matrix

Which platforms dominate where:

Saudi Arabia Deep Dive (Largest MENA Ad Market)

Saudi is the #1 market. Special rules:

X/Twitter (79% penetration — highest in the world):

• Saudis use X like Americans use Instagram — it's THE platform
• Gulf dialect, not MSA
• حسابات موثقة (verified accounts) carry massive weight
• Trend hijacking works — #ترند_السعودية
• Best posting times: 9-11 PM (after Isha prayer), Thursday evening, Friday morning
• During Ramadan: engagement spikes between Iftar (sunset) and Suhoor (pre-dawn)

Snapchat (Saudi is #1 Snapchat market globally per capita):

• Behind-the-scenes, raw, unpolished
• Snap Maps for local businesses
• Geofilters for events/stores
• Stories > individual snaps
• Youth-dominated (18-34)

Egypt Deep Dive (Largest Arab Population)

Facebook (still king — 42M+ users):

• Groups > Pages for engagement
• Facebook Marketplace massive for e-commerce
• Video content outperforms everything else
• Egyptian dialect ONLY (MSA = zero engagement)
• Humor is EVERYTHING — Egyptians share funny content

TikTok (exploding):

• Egyptian TikTok = comedy + music + social commentary
• Fastest-growing platform in Egypt
• Dialect: pure Egyptian, no MSA
• Duets and reactions drive virality

5. Arabizi (عربيزي) — The Youth Code

Many young Arabs type in Latin characters with numbers replacing Arabic sounds:

When to use Arabizi:

• TikTok comments
• Informal social media (never in formal content)
• Youth-targeted campaigns (18-25)
• When you want to seem casual/cool

When NOT to use:

• SEO content (Google doesn't index Arabizi well)
• Professional/B2B
• Email marketing
• Ad copy
• Audience over 35

6. Technical RTL Guidelines

CSS/HTML

/* Root direction */
html[lang="ar"] { direction: rtl; }

/* Font stack for Arabic */
font-family: 'IBM Plex Sans Arabic', 'Noto Sans Arabic', 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, sans-serif;

/* Logical properties (modern CSS — preferred) */
margin-inline-start: 16px;  /* not margin-left */
padding-inline-end: 16px;   /* not padding-right */
border-inline-start: 2px solid; /* not border-left */

/* Flexbox automatically reverses in RTL */
display: flex; /* row direction flips */

/* Icons that need flipping */
.icon-arrow, .icon-back, .icon-forward, .icon-progress {
  transform: scaleX(-1);
}

/* Icons that should NOT flip */
.icon-phone, .icon-clock, .icon-check, .icon-heart {
  /* Don't flip — universally directional */
}

Numbers in Arabic Context

/* Numbers are ALWAYS LTR, even inside RTL text */
<span dir="ltr">+966 50 123 4567</span>
<span dir="ltr">$49.99</span>
<span dir="ltr">2026-03-31</span>

/* But Arabic numeral names are RTL */
خمسة وعشرون (twenty-five)

Mixed Language Text

<!-- For mixed Arabic-English paragraphs -->
<p dir="auto">هذا النص يحتوي على English words وكلمات عربية</p>

<!-- For explicit control -->
<bdi>Product Name</bdi> — <span dir="rtl">وصف المنتج بالعربي</span>

7. Hashtag Strategy by Platform & Country

Saudi X (Twitter)

Use 20-25 hashtags, mix Arabic + English

8. Common Mistakes Matrix

Output Standards

When creating Arabic content:

1. State dialect + country before writing: "Gulf dialect, Saudi audience"
2. Never mix dialects in one piece — pick one, commit
3. RTL formatting — all output right-to-left
4. No diacritics on social/digital content
5. Culture check — religion, gender, dietary, holiday awareness
6. Platform match — right platform for right country
7. Proofread for — ي vs ى, ة vs ه, همزة, spacing after ال
8. Arabizi — only when targeting youth in casual context
9. Time zones — MENA spans UTC+0 (Morocco) to UTC+4 (UAE). Schedule accordingly.
10. Adapt, don't translate — cultural adaptation > literal translation
