Hi

I think Yes , we share this expectation.

And this is what we work in the TF-AIDN : https://www.icann.org/news/blog/making-progress-with-the-arabic-script-in-domain-names

TF-AIDN has 35 members hailing from 18 countries across the globe, from the the (very big) Arabic-speaking world as you say  !

The members come from a variety of backgrounds  and cover a wide range of Asian and African languages using the Arabic script.

Best regards

Dear Andre & All, 

  

Please allow me to resend my comments on the blog article that was shared by Andre in his last email: 

Thanks for this, it is very interesting and very useful to non-Arabic speakers. 

 

I understand your point: the natural expectation of an Arabic speaker is that the email address will always be displayed LTR if it is in Latin characters, while it will always be displayed RTL if it is in Arabic characters, no matter whether the surrounding text is LTR or RTL. 

 

But what would/should happen if the email address had a mix of Latin and Arabic characters? 

 

Also, is in your opinion this expectation shared by all the peoples in the (very big) Arabic-speaking world, and even by those that speak other languages written with Arabic characters? I am wondering whether these rules depend on the country, on the script or on the language. 

 

Thanks 

Regards
