Subject of the issue

Working on the Internationalization issue #202 , this time with Arabic Latin-Script Slang.

Requirements :

  • Compile a list of Arabic Slang in Latin Script , then rate its likelihood to be profane according to the cuss scale.

hey @wooorm , can you put the labels mate ? The hacktober fest , beginner friendly , help-wanted ,the whole shabang , let the Arab bois have fun will ya :'D.
Also I'm exhausted , this is turned out to be way difficult than I expected , due to transcription differences , the fact that there is near to 9 dialects , the lack of sources and a whole other host of problems , I managed to compile like a 130+ something actually , all while trying to understand other dialects .
so yeah , help ye lads .
And also I wasn't able to find any sources , so I could be one , any suggestions how we can put this collection out there , you know , in case anyone needs it for any reason ?

@AhmedRedaAmin I added help wanted and hacktoberfest (though those don’t affect your progress with hacktoberfest, they will help people find them easier).

I’d suggest starting with a small file, with only a few cases. And then let other people help to add more.
It doesn’t have to be everything all at once.
And that’s also why I don’t think beginner-friendly works yet, because we first need a base that people can work from!

Done the first json upload @wooorm .
Should I merge with you now ?
Or should I host it for a while till it fills up first ?
I got about 220+ something entries .

@AhmedRedaAmin No I’d suggest creating a pull request as early as possible! 👍 We can move from there!

Thanks for working on this @AhmedRedaAmin! That’s awesome.

The next step is to add something for Latin-script Arabic to retext-equality. Anyone able and interested to work on that?

Hey, I would love to help in the Internationalisation to PT-BR, but I did not found in the Contributing guide how to contribute in Internationalisation, is that it possible?
