Each French paragraph with its Arabic translation directly beneath it, in one EPUB — one block starting at the left edge, the next starting at the right.
The first 15 pages of text are sent to our server to be translated. The file itself stays on your device.
This is a genuinely bidirectional document, and that is a technical condition rather than a styling preference. The French paragraph begins at the left margin; the Arabic paragraph must begin at the right one, with its punctuation at the correct end. Unicode gets the letters in order by itself, which is exactly why this failure survives in so many bilingual files — the Arabic looks right and is hanging off the wrong side.
So every inserted Arabic paragraph carries its own direction and language attributes, and the rule that marks it out is drawn on the right edge rather than the left. The French around it is untouched and stays left-to-right.
Your browser does the assembly, opening the EPUB, walking each paragraph and rewriting only the chapter documents that received a translation — so cover, navigation and metadata come through as they were.
A DRM-free EPUB. The bilingual file is assembled in your browser, not on a server.
Names and recurring terms are fixed once, so a transliterated name does not change spelling between chapters.
Each Arabic block is marked right-to-left and tagged as Arabic, with its accent rule on the right edge.
A complete EPUB carrying the book's own fonts and stylesheets, with the French still reading left-to-right.
Your eye will go to whichever language you read better. Read the French paragraph first, every time.
Modern Standard Arabic only. The translation reads more formally than colloquial speech — the register Arabic books are written in.
Fifteen pages get translations. The rest of the book stays in French inside the same file.
The text is sent to a server and discarded when the job ends. The file never leaves your device.
Yes. Each inserted paragraph carries an explicit right-to-left direction and an Arabic language tag, and the rule marking it is drawn on the right edge — a left-edge rule would sit at the end of an Arabic line rather than at its start.
French first, every paragraph. The seconds of not understanding are where the practice is.
No, and it should not be. The book is still a French book with Arabic added underneath, so its page order and stylesheet stay as the publisher made them. Only the Arabic blocks read right-to-left.
Yes. Kindle has accepted EPUB directly since 2022 and renders Arabic; email the file to your device or copy it across.
