Research direction

Reproduce on Windows 11 with RetroArch 1.15.0 by typing Arabic in search, browsing files, and using AI Translate through ztranslate.net. No source file, test, or entry point is named, so trace each affected UI path and compare the screenshot behavior. Done means Arabic input and rendering work correctly in all three reported contexts, with regression coverage where the project supports it.
