Multi languages
According to the Common Sense Advisory, 75% of consumers worldwide prefer to buy from websites in their own language. Even if they speak some English, or their mastery of the English language is good, trust is much higher when purchasing in their native tongue. That’s why most of the Iraqi websites has Arabic and Kurdish languages beside English language and there are some differences between English websites with Arabic and Kurdish languages. Since Arabic & Kurdish are one of the most difficult languages to design for we because it reads from right-to-left (RTL). The right-to-left aspect is more complex because the entire web page needs to be flipped horizontally.
