Hello Eng. Amr Haggag

Do you mean you wish to use Arabic for your App Interface? You can do that. You may need to add a font to your project. App Inventor does not currently support right-to-left languages, but you can set the text alignment of Labels and Text Boxes to right justify. You can also try inserting a right-to-left marker (a non-printing, hidden character). I have never tried it myself

We have nearly-complete right-to-left language support that has been stalled on some graphical glitches. We also need a complete (or nearly-complete) translation of a right-to-left language for people to use when the feature is ready to launch.
