The UN includes Arabic among its six official languages. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s charter names Arabic, English and French as the organisation’s languages. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates give the language official status; Iraq names Arabic and Kurdish.
The African Union’s official-language list reads “Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Kiswahili and any other African language.” Ask delegates from these institutions which audience language they need.
The عربي button opens phone screens in that language. “كيف تريد المتابعة؟” offers استمع for listening and اقرأ for reading. The written translation runs from right to left, and those choosing audio hear it through their own headphones.

Baian ran the test. The human translations come from the public FLoRes-200 set.
Baian worked from the spoken audio; the translators worked from text. We compared scores sentence by sentence and counted a result only when the 95% range did not cross zero and two runs agreed. “About the same” means the test found no clear difference; it does not prove the translations were identical.
