Universal Language Selector/ar

امتداد اختيار اللغة العالمي (ULS) يوفر طريقة مرنة لضبط وتوصيل إعدادات اللغة مثللغة الواجهة، الخطوط، ووسائل الإدخال (خرائط لوحة المفاتيح). هذا سيسمح للمستخدمين بكتابة النصوص بلغات مختلفة ليست مدعومة مباشرة بواسطة لوحة المفاتيح الخاصة بهم، وقراءة المحتوى بسكريبت لا توجد له خطوط محليا، أو تخصيص اللغة التي يتم عرض القوائم بها.

This functionality was partially provided by and  extensions on some wikis. The ULS replaces those extensions and will be available in all Wikimedia projects for all users (logged-in and anonymous). More project specific details later.

The functionality provided is listed below:


 * Language settings panel. Main entry point to configure language tools. It can be accessed from the interlanguage list on the sidebar, or at the personal toolbar for wikis lacking interlanguage links.
 * User interface (UI) language adjustments. Users can change the language in which the UI is provided regardless of the content language. At the moment, UI customisation is provided only for logged-in users.
 * Font selection. Web fonts are provided for non-latin scripts so that users can display content in those languages without installing local fonts. Users can select alternative fonts or decide to use their local fonts if they are available.
 * Input method configuration. Users lacking a keyboard for a particular script can still write in that script by using input mappings. Hindi users with a QWERTY keyboard can write “प” by typing “pa” when Hindi input method is enabled.
 * قائمة طريقة سياق الإدخال. خيارات للتبديل بين ا كل عنصر إدخال نشطللغات وخرائط لوحات المفاتيح يتم توفيرها بجانب. المستخدمون يمكنهم بسهولة الدمج ما بين الإنجليزية والألفبائية الصوتية الدولية والروسية حين الكتابة حول موسكو على ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية: “Moscow (/ˈmɒskaʊ/ or /ˈmɒskoʊ/; Russian: Москва, tr. Moskva; IPA: [mɐˈskva]) is the capital city and the most populous federal subject of Russia.”

Limitations in functionality
The selection of user interface language will be only available for logged-in users. For English Wikipedia, the input method contextual menu will be disabled by default. Regardless of the initial state of input methods, users can always enable or disable them for any wiki.

Web fonts
You can enable web fonts by opening the ULS interface. Click on the gear icon, then select "Display", then select "Fonts", then enable "Download fonts when needed". See Universal Language Selector/WebFonts for more information.
