How can I add Arabic to the User Preferences Language Selector

[abateman325]

By default there is a short list of languages that a user can navigate AEM with. Most of our users are able to navigate AEM in English, French or Spanish. We have a need to allow the Arabic language for navigating AEM, how do I go about getting the Arabic language added as a selection? I assume I'll need to upload some language pack but I can't figure out where a resource would be for that.

Using the Sling Resource Merger in AEM, overlay the /apps/granite/ui/content/userproperties/preferences/form/items/language/items/* node.

Make sure you the overlayed language node as the sling:orderBefore property, so that the configuration is placed in the same area as the original configuration as expected:

Making sure that the ar language options have been added under the language/items resource.

I've created a package that you can install in your AEM local, give it a try.
