This triggers a failure in an automated check (see https://github.com/pynicolas/FairScan/actions/runs/22554421820/job/65409818705?pr=120):

For locale "ar" (Arabic) the following quantities should also be defined: few (e.g. "3"), many (e.g. "11"), two (e.g. "2"), zero (e.g. "0") [MissingQuantity]

I honestly don't know whether this is a real problem for Arabic. We can disable the automated check on this string by adding tools:ignore="MissingQuantity". It's already done for some languages (see https://github.com/pynicolas/FairScan/blob/v1.15.0/app/src/main/res/values-it/strings.xml#L68)

Arabic would be the first right-to-left language in FairScan. Were you able to test the app with your translation?

Yes, it does require Fairscan to support RTL. Is there some build I can install to test it out?

actually this is important, Arabic indeed require this form of plurals. Weblate makes this easier to translate see https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/geoshare/android-app/ar/?checksum=b1a973c0af6be020

https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/user/translating.html#plurals

which I think needs to be like

<plurals name="page_count">
    <item quantity="zero">لا صفحات</item>
    <item quantity="one">%d صفحة</item>
    <item quantity="two">%d صفحتان</item>
    <item quantity="few">%d صفحات</item>
    <item quantity="many">%d صفحة</item>
    <item quantity="other">%d صفحة</item>
</plurals>

<plurals name="page_count">
<item quantity="one">%d صفحة</item>
<item quantity="other">%d صفحات</item>
</plurals>
