I am trying out the Who is She for Standard Arabic but I’ve noticed that the letters in the words are right to left (as they should be) but the words are left to right and I have no idea why.

Hi Alexander,
Unfortunately Arabic is still on Beta version and our new reader doesn’t support Arabic for now. However, you are still able to study Arabic on classic viewer. Just click on the small “Classic” button on the top of the lesson page and you will be back on classic reader which does support Arabic.
We will do our best to make Arabic available on the new reader too as soon as we can.
The same problem appears with Hebrew. The following is related: In the Android app the words appear in the right order, however the justification is off (flush left), and interpunction appears at the beginning of the line instead of the end. Could be a unicode problem imho.

Just to let you know, right to left reading for Arabic and Hebrew has been enabled for web and the iOS app. Thanks for your patience!

Wonderful! Now, I can really using LingQ for learning Hebrew. Thanks for the effort!
Thanks, things in the new view are now how they were in the old view.
It would be nice if punctuation is also correctly treated, now a final point appears at the first place in a phrase! (work on diacritics would be even nicer…). A better dealing of those issues might encourage better quality lessons to slowly be added to the library. (At the moment I noticed the HUGE difference of many beginners lessons in Chinese, and almost nothing in the Arabic library).
Unfortunately, Arabic and Hebrew are both still Beta languages so we won’t be spending any more time on improving them at the moment. If the content requirements ever get reached, we would start to look at those issues and more content.
