Based on this post from a fellow Logos user, it seems this should be a priority...
"As a Christian from the Middle East , I would like to draw your attention to the importance of updating the most widely used Arabic version of the Bible. The Logos version of ABSVD lacks vowel marks which are crucial for correctly understanding a text in Arabic.
It’s worth noting that Logos seems to be the only Bible software that has an Arabic version lacking these vowels. This is particularly challenging for Arab Logos users.
Therefore, I urge each one of you to cast your vote for an update to this version. Your support can make a tangible difference and improve the usability of the Arabic Bible."1 -

Yes this is critical for our Arab friends!0

@John D. Kittles Thank you!0

Please make happen!0

This error needs to be fixed ASAP as without the accents and vowel marks the words of the Arabic Bible may be misunderstood.0

@Edison Akrawi Absolutely correct.0
-
Please update the Arabic Bible to include short vowels. Even the free Bible programs include Arabic bible with vowels, such as The Word and e-Sword, as well as phone apps such as the Holy Bible and many others0

@Firas Putris Indeed , it’s very unfortunate that free software has the Arabic Bible with vowels , however , the paid Logos version lacks this important element.0

Thank you for this suggestion! We're now evaluating our options on updating the Logos resource. Unfortunately, I cannot promise that this will happen soon. It will depend on obtaining source files from an authorized source that we can convert into a Logos resource easily.

@Ben Misja (Logos)
I am absolutely thrilled to hear this wonderful news! Your efforts to find a high-quality source for a better text with vowel markers and successfully updating the Logos resource are truly commendable. It’s exciting to know that we are now one step closer to the release, and I eagerly look forward to it in the coming months.

We shipped an update to the ABSVD text, but we haven't tested it thoroughly. Let me know if you find any substantial issues!
* If there are typos, please report then in-app.
* If there are major systemic issues, they might be worth a new request.
EDIT: My apologies, we are still preparing to ship it. I should know more very soon.Senior Manager, New Languages

How long does the book take to be updated in the Logos application? It still hasn’t been updated on my end.0 -
@Youssef Mouammar The update should be available to download now.
