Suggestion spelling.arabic-common Previewed fix

This is a common standard-Arabic spelling correction, but dialect spelling and intentional lyric stylization can preserve the original form.

Convention: Spelling follows the language's standard.

Example

Flagged by this rule
[المقطع]
لاكن أحبك

In the workbench this reads: Review “لاكن” as the standard Arabic form “لكن”.

Accepted by this rule
[المقطع]
لكن أحبك

The fix

In the workbench this finding carries one control, labelled Replace with لكن. The change is contextual, so it is previewed as a diff in your document first and applies only when you confirm it.
