Arabic is written right-to-left. That single fact changes every layout decision: margins swap sides, icons mirror, reading flow reverses, and text-align needs re-evaluation on every element holding copy. Using Latin filler in an Arabic design masks all of this until real content arrives.
The output textarea sets dir="rtl" automatically, so the preview flows right-to-left. The pool draws from 60 common Arabic words and reflects real glyph density plus letter-joining behaviour.
How to Use Arabic Placeholder in an RTL Layout
- Generate 3 Paragraphs and paste into your article body to check text direction, line wrapping, and column width.
- Generate 1 Sentence and paste into your navigation bar to check label alignment at desktop and mobile widths.
- Generate 6 Words and paste into a button to check right-aligned label overflow at 120px and 160px widths.
What Each Rendered Paragraph Reveals
- Use
dir="rtl" on the container element, not only text-align: right. Only the dir attribute flips bidirectional controls like breadcrumbs and progress bars. - Line-height needs to be at least 1.6 for Arabic body copy. Standard Latin line-height of 1.4 clips Arabic ascenders at 16px.
- Noto Sans Arabic, Cairo, and Tajawal are the three most widely used free Arabic web fonts. Verify the chosen font loads before presenting a mockup.
Format Notes for Arabic Output
- Paragraphs mode outputs blocks separated by a blank line. The output textarea mirrors the RTL direction, so long lines wrap from right to left.
- Bullet List mode uses a standard bullet character at the left of each line. In a true RTL component the bullet should appear on the right, so test copy-paste alignment in your design tool rather than trusting the raw textarea output.
- The generator does not insert Arabic punctuation or diacritics, keeping the output clean and focus on layout behaviour rather than typographic detail.
