### Arabic Language

[](#arabic-language)

Worldwide Internet use has grown tremendously in recent years, most rapidly in non-English speaking regions especially in Arab world. For example, from 2000 to 2020, the online populations grew by more than 9,300 %. Meanwhile, Arabic Web content was estimated to be doubling every year. Such growth has created demand for better websites developing resources in Arabic language. However, existing websites developing resources may be unable to meet it because they primarily serve English-speaking users.

\[[Arabic language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic), [Internet world stats](https://www.internetworldstats.com/stats7.htm)\]

### PHP

[](#php)

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. PHP runs more than 79% of all the top 10 million worldwide web sites a few very good examples are Facebook and Wikipedia.

\[[PHP language](https://www.php.net/), [Server-side languages report](https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/programming_language)\]

### LGPL

The main difference between the GPL and the LGPL is that the latter can be linked to (in the case of a library, 'used by') a non-(L)GPLed program, which may be free software or proprietary software. This non-(L)GPLed program can then be distributed under any chosen terms if it is not a derivative work.

*How to Contribute?*
--------------------

[](#how-to-contribute)

We always welcome new contributors – especially new programmers. But no matter what your skills and interests are, there is a place where you can participate to improve Ar-PHP project:

- **Programming:** Here are some ideas for contribution: Review the To-Dos, add a feature, contribute to a core module, create an extension, and fix a bug.
- **Quality Assurance:** Quality Assurance (QA) is one of the most important but understated elements of any software community project. It is also something most people can do. If you want to help fix Ar-PHP bugs, and you are not a programmer, you can still help by joining the QA team.
- **Writing:** One of the best ways to contribute to Ar-PHP is to write tutorials, guides, HOWTOs and FAQs. Here are some ideas for contribution: User FAQs, HOW-Tos and Tutorials, User Guide, Development Primer, Blog Posts, and Article for a Magazine.
- **Marketing:** You can always help promote the use of Ar-PHP. Here are two ways you can help: Join the marketing events, distribute Ar-PHP, and Ar-PHP brochure.
- **Graphics and Art:** Have any art skills? Then you can help us create icons, logos, banners, labels, wallpapers, screen savers, and more! These will be seen every day and used throughout the project and its products.
- **Helping Users:** There are two ways you can help other users: Users mailing list, and forums.
- **Celebrate with us!** Your task is to take a picture of yourself supporting PHP and Arabic language project. You can go to a famous landmark, your favorite place nearby, or anywhere you think will make for a great photo. We've created some posters for you to use in your pictures. Print out one of these designs or design your own. We want to see you and your location prominently displayed in the picture, so don't let one of them dominate the photo. And we should clearly see your Ar-PHP poster too. Once you have your photos ready to submit, email them to us. Please send your photos in .jpg or .png formats and at least 1200 x 800 pixels in size.
