Project management software that works in Arabic — properly
You can type Arabic into almost any task tool. What you can't usually get is the tool itself in Arabic — a right-to-left interface, Arabic menus and buttons, Arabic email notifications, and dates your team actually recognises. Most project management software was built English-first and translated later, if at all. The layout still reads left-to-right, mixed Arabic-English text gets scrambled, and there is no Hijri calendar anywhere.
If you have looked for an Arabic alternative to Asana, Trello, or monday.com, you have probably found the same thing we did: an Arabic language pack bolted onto a left-to-right product. Artala is built the other way round. Arabic is one of its professionally native-reviewed languages, with a fully mirrored right-to-left interface — not a flipped skin, but boards, tables, task cards, dialogs, and kanban drag-and-drop that all read the way your team reads.
What you get in Arabic
- Full Arabic interface (العربية) — menus, buttons, system messages, and email notifications, all professionally reviewed by native speakers.
- True right-to-left layout — the whole application mirrors correctly, not just the text.
- Bidirectional text isolation — mixed Arabic-English content stays coherent instead of scrambling. Product names, system names, and Latin technical terms sit inside Arabic sentences without the punctuation jumping to the wrong end of the line.
- Native Hijri (Islamic) calendar — Umm al-Qura or local sighting, shown alongside Gregorian and toggleable per user, so nobody is converting dates in their head.
- Friday/Saturday weekends — or whatever your workspace uses; the calendar and timesheets shade non-working days to match.
- Per-user language — Arabic-speaking and English-speaking teammates share one workspace, each in their own interface. Nobody has to work in a second language so the tool can cope.

This is a real Artala board — a Riyadh trading business — running in Arabic, right-to-left, with the Hijri calendar, next to the same board in English:
Built with the Gulf in mind
Artala covers the languages of the region most tools overlook — Arabic with full RTL, plus Urdu, Persian, Pashto, Sindhi and Kurdish, and a Hijri calendar available in every one of its 32 languages. Free for teams of up to three, and $7 per user a month for everything after that.
Arabic is professionally native-reviewed. If you spot a phrase that does not read well, or your team needs a regional variant we do not cover yet, tell us — the localization engine is built into the product, and improving it is part of how Artala grows.
