This article explains how to configure Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Adaptive Forms so that Arabic appears as an option in the Target Languages dropdown for dictionary translation projects.
Description description
Environment
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Forms as a Cloud Service (all versions)
Symptoms
The Target Languages dropdown in the Add Dictionary to Translation Project screen doesn’t list Arabic as an available option. Only the default languages shipped with AEM Forms are available.
Cause
Arabic isn’t included in the default list of target languages for dictionary translation in AEM Adaptive Forms. It must be explicitly configured in your project settings to appear as a selectable option.
Resolution resolution
Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
- Determine which component type your Adaptive Forms use (Core Components or Foundation Components), as the steps differ slightly.
- In your project repository, add the Arabic locale code (For example: ar-AE) to the list of supported locales in your Guide Localization Service configuration.
- Add a client library for the Arabic locale. Refer to the official documentation for guidance.
- Deploy your configuration changes using your standard deployment pipeline.
- After deployment, verify that Arabic appears as a selectable target language in the Translation Project dictionary dropdown.
- Perform visual QA to ensure that forms render correctly in right-to-left (RTL) layout for Arabic.
