Why is the Arabic all fucked up?

Actually, most of the languages are a little wrong. The translation is correct but wouldn't be used in the same way in those languages/countries. Even the Hebrew letters in the upper left, which at first I thought was yiddish, is transliterated "Mazal New Year"

Translation wrong is a different issue. In Arabic, letters are joined together when writing words, but in the pic they are separate.

PLUS, Arabic is written right to left, but here it is left to right.

PLUS, it simply says "Happy New Year" in Arabic.

So there are 3 problems!

Edit: OK the last point is not a problem. I thought it was supposed to say happy new Jewish year, but I looked at the french, Spanish, and Italian, they all simply say happy new year.

^^That's what I meant by "The translation is correct but wouldn't be used in the same way in those languages/countries."

I think we can all just say I picked a poor graphic and we can move on from it.
