An Arabic and English LMS with full right-to-left support
Every screen in Ilmoria works in English and Arabic, and each user switches language whenever they like. Arabic is fully right to left, not a translated layer over an English layout. That matters to every student, parent, teacher and employee who reads Arabic first.
Every screen, both languages
Students, parents and staff each choose English or Arabic and can switch at any time.
Right to left, all the way
Layouts mirror in Arabic, so navigation, tables and forms read from the right.
Wording you control
Staff can correct any Arabic interface wording to match the terms your school uses.
Why right to left has to be complete
Right to left is more than aligning text to the right. An Arabic reader expects the whole screen to mirror: navigation starts on the right, tables read from the right-hand column, back arrows point the other way and progress fills from right to left. When a platform only flips the text, users meet a layout that fights their reading direction on every screen, and that friction shows up as support calls and low adoption. In Ilmoria, the Arabic interface is fully right to left on every screen, on phones, tablets and computers.
Arabic text that reads properly
Arabic has its own typography. Letters join to their neighbours, diacritics need vertical space, and spacing tricks designed for Latin text, such as letter-spacing, break words apart. Arabic also rarely appears alone. A line in an Arabic interface often contains an English course code, a student ID, a percentage or a date, and the order of these pieces has to stay readable in both directions. Mixed-direction text is where weak Arabic support breaks first, with punctuation and numbers landing on the wrong side. Ilmoria's Arabic interface is designed for this mix, so labels and lists read the way an Arabic reader expects.
Maths and science inside Arabic lessons
Maths is where many platforms struggle in Arabic. Text in an Arabic lesson runs right to left, but an equation still has to keep its structure, or a fraction, an exponent or an inequality can end up reversed. Ilmoria's course builder gives teachers an equation editor with LaTeX, science notation and a graphing calculator, and these sit inside Arabic slides without the surrounding layout pulling them apart. A teacher can explain a method in Arabic and show the working as a properly formatted equation on the same slide.
Your terms, and your words left untouched
Arabic education vocabulary differs between countries and institutions. A section may be a شعبة in one school and a فصل in another, and a group may prefer its own word for mentor. In Ilmoria, staff can correct any Arabic interface wording, so screens use the terms your teachers and families already know. What people write themselves is never auto-translated. Lessons, messages, feedback and submissions stay exactly as their authors wrote them, in Arabic, English or both, so no machine translation changes the meaning of a teacher's comment or a parent's concern.
Documents people keep
Bilingual support does not end at the screen. Certificates, transcripts, invoices and receipts leave the platform as PDFs and printouts, and they carry student names that are often written in Arabic. A name printed with disconnected letters or reversed words on an official document is a real problem for a family. When you evaluate any LMS, ask to see real documents with Arabic names and mixed Arabic and English content. Our Arabic LMS guide lists what else to test, and we will show you Ilmoria's certificates, transcripts and invoices in a demo.
Questions buyers ask
Can each user choose their own language?
Yes. Every screen in Ilmoria is available in English and Arabic, and each user, whether a student, parent, teacher or administrator, chooses the language they prefer and can switch at any time. A parent can use Arabic while their child's teacher works in English, and both see the same information.
Is our course content translated automatically?
No. Text that people write themselves, including lessons, messages, feedback and submissions, is never auto-translated. Teachers create content in the language they teach in, and bilingual programmes write each version deliberately. If your institution switches on AI assistance, a student can ask for a single sentence to be translated with a simple explanation, but only when they request it.
Can we change the Arabic terms used in the interface?
Yes. Staff can correct any Arabic interface wording, so the platform uses the terms your institution already uses. This matters because vocabulary differs between countries: the words for a section, a grade level or a mentor are not the same in every school. Changes apply to the interface labels, not to content people have written.
Does right to left work on phones?
Yes. Ilmoria is mobile-friendly and runs in any modern browser, and the Arabic interface is fully right to left on phones and tablets as well as on computers. It can also be installed on a phone's home screen as a web app. Native iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap.
Can a lesson mix Arabic and English?
Yes. Teachers write lesson text in the language they teach in, and a slide can combine an Arabic explanation with English terms, numbers and equations built in the equation editor or LaTeX. This suits schools that teach science and maths in English to Arabic-speaking students, or the other way round, and want both languages on the page.
