I did a quick test following the 12.05.2025 patch - looks like it's still working.
You will need to edit gameinfo.txt as described above again to increase the subtitle size.
Thank you for all of your support - the mod now has 4 stars!

Allah's Mesa

Thank you trk305!

ك شخص مجتهد عرب هالف-لايف 2 لوست كوست حاب اقولك تعريبتك رهيبة

شكرا جدا

Mod is now updated to work with the latest patch in the workshop and in the downloads. Notice that for the workshop you'll have to reapply the solution with gameinfo.txt to get larger fonts.
This will probably not work if you haven't updated your game - if you wish to play with the older version, see the guide for getting the previous downloadable version. I won't be able to help with it though.

As for Kh_sa's question - unfortunately the patch brings no news as to official Arabic support. The change referred to in the update text refers to additional translators credited in the game.

On another note, I've noticed the mod is now rated - thank you for your support and ratings!!! Rating the mod will help more people notice it.

Streamer RedPotato is making a Let's Play video series which uses the mod. You can find it here:

The developer actually invited the community to translate the game, and the text included in this mod is the result of the work done by the fans in #translation_discussions in the crowbar collective discord.

My part was just making the mod to display it correctly :)

I did not expect someone cares translate the game into Arabic
btw تراني عربي فا تارني مو غبي مسوي روحي فاهم

Thanks John! Unfortunately due to a bug in the source engine changing the font for Arabic (and a few other languages) is not possible using the game's configuration.

It can sort of be achieved at the OS level using a reg file. In the right aligned version this is done by replacing the font at the OS level, but for alignment to work correctly it a fixed-size font needs to be used. simplified Arabic did not work, so I used Courier New. I'm open to suggestions.

You could also take the reg file from the RTL version and modify it to change the font to a non-fixed one to make LTR look better. I didn't test that, though.

great job!

small suggestion can you change the font to to something closer in style to the English in game font eg: more sharp edges?

Thanks Afronium!

Absolutely halal

You too Elsh3era! Enjoy!

بارك الله لك يا اخي

Thanks for the kind words, Laith!

Thank you very much! i appreciate your efforts with this - شكرا جزيلا لك

Quick tip: If you can't see correct subtitles, Make sure to choose the Unofficial Arabic as the captioning language in the options menu under audio. It might appear as an "empty" language (right after Arabic),
