+- Add Arabic (ar), the first right-to-left language: the title, rails, dock and
+  corner row mirror, numbers keep Western digits, and plurals use all six
+  Arabic forms. FIRMS cards and Space Missions landing labels are now
+  translated in every language. Based on translations by @abiyeenzo (#915)
