📌 Language Considerations When Entering Keywords
Some language differences may affect the accuracy of tracking. Below are important points to consider:
English Case Sensitivity:
The system does not differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters.
Example: Riyadh = riyadh
Arabic Letter Variations:
The system distinguishes between similar-looking letters in Arabic, such as tied تاء (ة) vs. هاء (ه), hamza (ء, ئ, إ), and ya (ي) vs. alif maqsoora (ى).
To ensure comprehensive tracking, enter all possible variations of words.
Example: مدرسة / مدرسه
