Below is a categorized list of the issues:<\/p>\n<p>-Spelling mistakes (around 38 occurrences): Most of them involve using hamzat al-qat\u2019 where hamzat al-wasl should be used, such as \u00ab\u0625\u0633\u062a\u062e\u062f\u0627\u0645\u00bb, \u00ab\u0625\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0627\u062f\u00bb, \u00ab\u0625\u062e\u062a\u064a\u0627\u0631\u00bb, and \u00ab\u0625\u0633\u062a\u0628\u062f\u0627\u0644\u00bb. The correct forms are: \u0627\u0633\u062a\u062e\u062f\u0627\u0645, \u0627\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0627\u062f, \u0627\u062e\u062a\u064a\u0627\u0631, and \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0628\u062f\u0627\u0644. There are also obvious typos such as \u00ab\u062a\u0636\u064a\u0645\u0646\u00bb (\u062a\u0636\u0645\u064a\u0646), \u00ab\u062a\u0648\u062c\u064a\u0629\u00bb (\u062a\u0648\u062c\u064a\u0647), and \u00ab\u0625\u0631\u0634\u064a\u0641\u0627\u062a\u00bb (\u0623\u0631\u0634\u064a\u0641\u0627\u062a)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Translating the brand name (around 30 occurrences): The translation uses \u201c\u0631\u0627\u0646\u0643 \u0645\u0627\u062b\u201d and \u201c\u0631\u0627\u0646\u0643 \u0645\u0627\u062b \u0628\u0631\u0648\u201d. However, according to the WordPress glossary, brand names should remain in Latin script, and the same translation file already uses Rank Math in Latin script in most places. The correct approach is to standardize them as Rank Math and Rank Math PRO\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Overly literal machine translation: The phrase \u201cRank Math\u2019s SEO Score\u201d was translated as \u201c\u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0636\u064a\u0627\u062a SEO \u0627\u0644\u0646\u062a\u064a\u062c\u0629\u201d, which is a word-for-word translation of the brand name (Rank = \u062a\u0635\u0646\u064a\u0641, Math = \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0636\u064a\u0627\u062a).
