Living in Egypt does not automatically mean every post should be Arabic. Working in tech does not automatically mean every post should be English. The language choice starts with the people you want to have a conversation with.
Separate reach from relevance
A larger potential audience is not always a more useful one. If you want to talk to Egyptian founders and local product teams, natural Arabic may make a detailed explanation easier to follow. If your work targets distributed teams, English may fit the conversation better.
Write down who should understand and act on the post. Then ask which language they use for that subject. This is a more concrete decision than guessing which language an algorithm prefers.
One primary language per post is a useful default
Repeating a complete post in two languages can make a short idea twice as long. A useful starting point is to give each post one primary language, while keeping technical terms your audience already uses.
For Egyptian technical content, “الكود ريفيو” or “API” may be clearer than a translation nobody uses at work. The test is readability, not linguistic purity. Read the post aloud and make sure the switches feel natural.
Use the same expertise, not identical translations
You can explain the same idea differently for different readers. An Arabic post for junior developers might show a small concrete example. An English post for hiring managers might explain the trade-off and the effect on a team.
This is adaptation. It should still preserve the facts. Do not turn a cautious observation in one language into a confident promise in another. Keep the examples and claims aligned, even when the tone changes.
Review the quality of conversations
Try a manageable mix for a few weeks, then look at who actually responds. Are the questions relevant? Do profile visits turn into useful conversations? Do the replies come from people you wanted to reach?
Record language, topic, format, and the response you observed. A single successful post cannot tell you whether language caused the outcome. Use repeated patterns to guide your next batch, and leave room for timing and topic to matter.
Brief the writer on the details
If someone prepares your content, say more than “Arabic.” Specify the register: friendly Egyptian Arabic, formal Arabic, or a mix suited to your profession. Provide examples of terms you prefer in English.
