It’s not just the wrong order (which is also a very big fuck-up in itself). In Arabic letters in the same word connect with each other (with a few exceptions). It’s kind of like cursive writing. Look at my first comment to see what I mean. There’s no way anyone translating this made these kinds of mistakes by accident. Even if it were some English speaking intern who used Google Translate it would have been done better (as shown in my first comment).
I did. I’m explaining why I believe this was intentional. This isn’t a graphics design issue. Even if a graphic designer were to take the translation, mistakenly flip it to read right-to-left instead of left-to-right (I doubt it), the calligraphy is still wrong.
I’m not familiar with InDesign, so maybe if that’s the case? I’d be surprised even then since the pasted text doesn’t match the source in the slightest. But that could be a possibility.

Yes, that is also in the article. You should read the link before commenting.
The letters not connecting is an issue with the graphic design, not the translation.

I’ve seen people saying that if you paste Arabic text into InDesign, by default it orders it left-to-right and doesn’t ligate the text.

The last time I used desktop publishing software was 20 years ago, but I can confirm it didn’t handle Arabic text well.
