Version: 0.5.2 (Alpha)
Device: Samsung S24 Ultra
OS: Android 15

Issue:

On the Home screen, the "Popular Movies" and "Popular TV Shows" sections appear empty, even with a stable internet connection.
When tapping "View All" for either section, the items load correctly with posters and are clickable.
In the previous version, the Home screen displayed posters, but tapping them had no effect (no navigation to details).

Expected Behavior:

Home screen sections should display the same content as "View All".
Cards should be clickable to open movie/TV details.

Steps to Reproduce:

Launch the app on v0.5.2 (Alpha).
Go to the Home tab.
Observe empty sections under "Popular Movies" and "Popular TV Shows".
Tap "View All" — the content loads and works as expected.

Additional Notes:

This may be a UI rendering issue specific to the Home screen list.
No errors shown to the user, but possibly logged in JS console.

Screenshots:

What happens when the device language is set to english, does it behaves the same?

The issue with the empty home screen happens only when the device language is set to Arabic. When the device language is English, the content loads correctly.

A temporary fix: Force the app to use English as the default language for all users, regardless of the device's language settings. This would ensure the content always appears.

A better long-term solution: Add an option in the app's settings for users to manually choose the language they prefer. This would be a great feature that not only solves this bug but also makes the app more accessible to all users.

I am happy to provide more details or screenshots if needed.
