Description Eyal Rozenberg 2022-09-12 21:56:06 UTC 
If you start LO Writer with Arabic UI, the names of the default styles are given in Arabic.

It seems that many of the style names have the "Al-" prefix, which is the definite article marker in Arabic.

Thus, instead of styles being (some examples):
 
نص ‎   قائمة 1 ‎  قائمة 2
Text  List 1    List 2

we get:

النص   ‎  القائمة 1 ‎   القائمة 2
The Text The List 1   The List 2


Native speakers of Arabic may also want to chime in, but - it seems to me like the "Al-" is redundant, not to mention messing up the sorting order of styles.

This should be fix in 7.6/master
