Introduction:
Game development in Unity often comes with challenges when implementing Arabic text due to its right-to-left (RTL) nature, diacritics, and unique character connections. Many developers face difficulties displaying Arabic correctly in Unity’s default text system. This is where Arabic Writer, a free Unity asset developed by Evolite Studio, comes to the rescue.
What is Arabic Writer?
Arabic Writer is a lightweight and offline-friendly tool designed to seamlessly integrate Arabic text into Unity projects. It eliminates the common issues related to text alignment, diacritics, numeral formatting, and character joining, making it an essential tool for developers creating Arabic-based games or applications.
Key Features:
This asset provides several essential features that make working with Arabic text in Unity hassle-free:
✅ One-Click Arabic Text Correction – Automatically adjusts Arabic text to be displayed properly within Unity’s UI.
✅ Support for Eastern Arabic Numerals – Handles Arabic numerals correctly, ensuring proper formatting.
✅ Diacritics Support – Maintains Arabic diacritics (Tashkeel) for proper pronunciation display.
✅ Right-to-Left Alignment – Ensures accurate text direction without the need for additional scripts.
✅ Auto Copy-Paste Mode – Integrates seamlessly with TextMesh Pro, fixing text rendering issues instantly.
✅ No Coding Required – Simple and intuitive to use, making it accessible for both beginner and expert developers.
✅ Lightweight & Offline Operation – Runs smoothly without affecting performance, as it does not require an internet connection.
Use Case for Arabic Writer in Your Game:
In my game Gomorry Al-Mamlakah, I used an Arabic Writer Tool in Unity to properly render and display Arabic text, ensuring it appears correctly due to the way Unity handles RTL (Right-To-Left) languages.
Main Menu & UI Texts:
Since your game's main menu mimics old Nokia screens with a greenish aesthetic, you'll need properly formatted Arabic text for options like:
ابدأ اللعبة (Start Game)
الإعدادات (Settings)
الصوت (Sound)
In-Game Messages, Notifications and Score & Game Over Screens
Given the 1980s-1990s nostalgic theme, you display old proverbs and SMS-style text messages in Arabic, such as:
"من جد وجد ومن زرع حصد"
"لقد خسرت، حاول مرة أخرى!"
Why Arabic Writer is a Game-Changer:
Arabic text rendering in Unity has always been a technical challenge, with developers often relying on workarounds such as external text processing or third-party plugins. Arabic Writer simplifies this process, ensuring high-quality and professional Arabic text rendering without additional configurations.
Moreover, since Evolite Studio is a Saudi Arabian game development studio, they deeply understand the local market needs, making their solution tailored for Arabic-speaking game developers.
