On a device set to Arabic, the stage names on the progress card now name the stage, not the child. In Arabic, the celebration screen now shows the exact number of days in a row, up to a thousand. Before, it stopped counting at a hundred. When sound or listening does not work, the Listen and Say it steps now say what happened and what to do next, for example that the volume is all the way down, that a call is using the microphone, or that speech recognition is off for QissaQuest. VoiceOver reads these messages out when they appear. When a parent is needed, a locked Parents button first asks a question a young child cannot answer, then offers an email to support, and the app's page in Settings when microphone or speech recognition access is off. The email opens as a draft in your own mail app, starting with the app's name and version and a problem code, and nothing else. Nothing is sent until you send it. If the saved progress cannot be read, the home screen now says so instead of showing no letters learned, and new lessons no longer write over it. With Reduce Motion on, the celebration screen no longer shows moving stars, and its text fades in instead of sliding.

New installs start at Alef, and every child now moves through the alphabet in order. Each new day brings the first letter your child has not finished yet, and the home screen always shows the letter the lesson will teach. On a device set to Arabic, the messages that were still in English now appear in Arabic, including Try again, the microphone notices, the progress card and the letter names. The home screen now describes a lesson as three steps. The time it showed before was never measured, so it is gone. Two letters that were both called Ha in English now have their own names, Hah and Heh.

The app now speaks Arabic to Arabic speakers. With your device set to Arabic, QissaQuest's own buttons and messages appear in Arabic. Until now the App Store listed this app as English only, which was wrong for an app about Arabic letters. The description now says plainly who this is for, and who it is not for: a child who does not know a single Arabic letter yet.
