A language bug in the latest MuseScore version
Hi, I downloaded the latest version 4.4.2, in Hebrew. The problem is that parts of the software is in Arabic, like the names of the instruments, the tool boards, and more... some are in Hebrew and when I press them they change to Arab. Did anyone face this bug? Does anyone have a solution?

I tried both ways and nothing works... parts of the software is in Hebrew and other parts in Arab. I don't know what to do because I can't do even a simple thing like choosing an instrument.

Sorry, but I can't tell Arab from Hebrew.
You should probably report this issue on GitHub, https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/new/choose

Arabic is written almost always in cursive (joined-up) writing, while Hebrew letters are block letters and never join up together. In @ybp 's example, in the top tab-strip, the left item (that is selected) is in Arabic, while the right item is in Hebrew.
I've marked some examples of the different languages' usages in the attached picture.

I confirm this.
Interestingly, the problem does not occur in software mode (set QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software)
but appears in opengl and d3d11 mode
I have the same probelm.
Did you find a fix for it?

There isn't any currently. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/24287
After a while, I also encountered this, and I found that the problem was simply with the font that opens by default. Just go into the display, change the font, and it will work.
