The application package boundary owns src/i18n/locales/ar.json beside the
other catalogs, and the style.css shim test checks that the shim holds only
import statements rather than counting its lines, so adding rtl.css to it
does not read as rules.
Selects pad the chevron's side with padding-inline-end, as do the Radio
filter, the SDR gain select and the voice timeout select, which set their
own padding; rtl.css moves the chevron to the left, where an Arabic field's
text ends. A rail legend's range keeps left-to-right order under its colour
ramp, which always runs low to high from left to right.
Main moved the UI to Vue views and Pinia stores, so the Arabic changes to
the old DOM controllers now live in their views: the rail legend range
comes from formatScaleRange (keeping units a source supplies as given),
the voice timeout options are worded by Intl unit formatting in
VoiceControl, and the scene editor's JSON fields stay left to right in
SceneDialog. Main's CCTV status line, launch panel and calibration values
keep the Arabic isolates and Western-digit formatting.
isolate() and keepCodesWithValues() read the locale through getLocale(),
which follows the page's vue-i18n instance, and the Intl formatters take
intlLocale(getLocale()). A language switch now applies in place, and
applyDocumentLanguage sets <html dir> on every switch, so the page mirrors
without a reload.
The icon rails and their tips are placed with logical properties, so they
stay on the outer side of the mirrored stacks; Cyber's new stack offsets,
padding and edge lines are logical too, and rtl.css moves Cyber's right
stack to its new rail clearance. Main removed the Context mini radio, so its
right-to-left rules and test go.
The Arabic catalog gains main's new strings and drops the ones main no
longer uses; the other catalogs keep main's new keys and the branch's
landing labels.
Mirror the dock trays and their pin, the compact Radio window and the
phone top-bar actions in right-to-left; keep the Cyber cockpit's Data
Layers stack on the left edge. Isolate the Space Missions counter,
landing coordinates and CCTV summary parts, format their numbers with
the locale's numerals, decide pack shot titles by the marker binding,
and place Bhote Koshi media cards between the panels on either side.

Findings from the astra, sol and fable reviews of the Arabic screenshots:
- Wording: forecast valid time is «عند», not an expiry; acres are آكر, not
feddans; live layers are «تتبّع … المباشر» (not "direct flights"); the
straight-ahead lane, turboprop, call sign, reconcile, proximity, retrying,
count agreement (colon form, fixed counts, ي for compact day ages) and
smaller fixes. Guide and glossary updated.
- Right to left: the scene editor's JSON fields are LTR; canvas map cards
draw with LTR geometry and an Arabic face; whiteboard callouts anchor
inside their cards; HDG/FOV keep their values; the cyclone timestamp no
longer splits its date; bare-number counters read 01 / 25, translated
ones say «من».
- Built-in shot titles of the Nepal shot pack's bootstrap shots localize
(the applied pack vouches for them), in every language.

The Global Context panel and its buttons set ui-monospace through the `font`
shorthand, so Arabic fell back to a fixed-pitch face with letters spaced
apart. In Arabic they use the Arabic-aware mono stack.

A container that only holds a translate="no" span (a provider name in the
Global Context lines) kept its tracking and tore its own Arabic text into
separate glyphs. Only the Latin span itself keeps its letter-spacing now.

Fixes from the Arabic screenshot review:
- t() isolates every interpolated value in RTL locales (U+2068…U+2069), so
a time (10/28 09:00 UTC), a code or an English name keeps its order inside
an Arabic sentence; coordinates (30.326° ش) are isolated too. No-op in
left-to-right languages.
- The cockpit position readout reads right to left again now that its
coordinates are isolated; gauges, tapes and roll counters stay LTR.
- The start window's arrows point along the reading direction; FM seek and
the glyph-only mini transport stay left to right, the worded PREV / PLAY /
NEXT row follows the page; the Bhote Koshi clock stays a number.

- The title, style indicator and both rails swap sides in RTL through logical
properties (inset-inline-*, margin-inline-*, border-inline-start); LTR
computes the same values. The Display/Context rail keeps its physical
`right` for the credit-clearance model and swaps in rtl.css above 720px.
- rtl.css: no letter-spacing on Arabic (it tears joined letters apart);
Noto Sans Arabic leads the Arabic font stacks so words are not set in a
fixed-pitch fallback; the intel HUD and cockpit instruments stay a
left-to-right instrument overlay; media transport and the radio dial stay
left to right; feed headlines and station names take their own direction;
the moved rail's arrows flip.
- isolate(): a quantity in RTL text (2.7 كم, -18.0°) is wrapped in
first-strong isolates so its digits do not join a neighbouring Latin run.
