Everyone was optimistic after announcing that the Minecraft Legends game would support the Arabic language for the first time in its various versions, but unfortunately, the winds came with what the ships did not like, as the Arabic translation suffered from coordination problems that made reading and interacting with it almost impossible, forcing players to return to the language English.
The dream of officially supporting the Arabic language for one of the most popular and best-selling series of construction and survival games of all time, “Minecraft”, has always been a wish of many players in the Arab world, and it has become a reality through the announcement of the official Xbox Saudi Arabia account.
Mojang quickly responded to player complaints via the official Minecraft Legends page Twitter I apologize for this inadvertent error. In its statement, the team said:
“We deeply apologize to the community. We understand that the Arabic script in Minecraft Legends is incorrect, which makes the translation unusable. We are currently actively working to fix the issue.”
We all know the specificity of the Arabic language, and the importance of its presence in modern programs and applications, as the Arabic letters are written in a special way in the middle of the word, whether at the beginning or at the end as well, and although the Arabic language is written from right to left, but it seems that some game engines deal with it As the Latin language it is written from left to right.
We deeply apologize to the community. We are aware that the Arabic text in Minecraft Legends is incorrect, rendering the translation unusable. We are actively working to fix it. Read more in our blog post:

The fix for the problem lies in the engine recognizing languages that are written from right to left, we think this will solve the problem completely.
It is known that the game differs from the original Minecraft game system, as it follows the style of strategic games that take place in the world of the well-known Minecraft game developed by Mojang, a subsidiary of Microsoft, where this game will take you on an adventure within the well-known worlds of Minecraft.
In this new version, you will also be able to hunt different creatures, collect sources of survival in a wild world, and make sure that you will need to strengthen your strength in this world, ride your horse at every new adventure, and you will also meet with a group of old enemies from the “Skeletons” Creepers as well.
The developer did not provide a specific date to fix the Arabic localization issues in the game. But he confirmed that he’s working on the issue for now, so stay tuned for more details in the next few days.
