Hello,
I am a computer programmer with no real translation skills or background.
I am preparing a computer file for translation and we (in our office) have had a question about how the translated following date time span will be displayed in the Arabic text:
(3 years, 2 months)
(1 year)
(10 months)
This may seem like a simple request, but we have several suggestions in our office (dates before numbers or numbers before dates and do we include the comma separating the years and months) and I would like to have a definitive answer before I commit the computer code to the required format.

Dear 6233114
You can put the numbers before the dates and the Arabic letter "و" instead of the English Comma. ****************** (3 years, 2 months) = ثلاث سنوات وشهرين or ثلاثة أعوام وشهرين
(1 year) = سنة واحدة or عام واحد
(10 months) = عشرة أشهر or عشرة شهور
Kind regards.
