URL structure

Language is indicated by URL prefix for non-default locales:

/en/quran/al-fatiha     (explicit English — same as /quran/al-fatiha)
/ar/quran/al-fatiha     (Arabic UI + Arabic-primary display)
/id/quran/al-fatiha     (Indonesian)

The default locale (en) requires no prefix. All pages are accessible without a language prefix and default to English.

Arabic text rendering

All Arabic text uses the Amiri Quran font for Quran display and the Amiri font for other Arabic text. Pages with Arabic content automatically set dir="rtl" for the relevant element, not the entire page, so mixed RTL/LTR layouts render correctly.

Quran translations

Multiple English translations are available on every ayah page. The user's preferred translation is stored locally and applied across the site. Available translations:

Key	Name	Translator
en.saheeh	Saheeh International	Saheeh International
en.pickthall	Pickthall	Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall
en.yusufali	Yusuf Ali	Abdullah Yusuf Ali
en.hilali	Hilali-Khan	Muhammad Muhsin Khan
ar.muyassar	Al-Tafsir al-Muyassar	Arabic simplified tafsir
id.indonesian	Kemenag	Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs

Hadith translations

Hadith translations are currently available in English for all major collections. Indonesian translations are available for Bukhari and Muslim. Additional translations will be added over time.

Hreflang SEO

All content pages include hreflang alternate link tags for available translations. This ensures search engines index the correct language variant for each user's locale.
