Current Behavior

Prowlarr applies normalization to Arabic torrent titles, stripping diacritics (harakat, tashkeel, hamza variants) and converting certain letters (ئ, أ, ة, etc.) to base forms. That results in mismatches between the actual torrent titles (e.g., خطيئة أخيرة) and the search term (e.g., خطيية اخيرة), breaking alias matching.

Expected Behavior

Prowlarr should not normalize titles containing Arabic text, preserving the original spelling including diacritics and hamza variants

Steps To Reproduce

Add an Arabic-titled series/torrent source in Prowlarr (e.g., ArabP2P)
Observe the normalized title displayed in Prowlarr search
Original: خطيئة أخيرة
Search Term: خطيية اخيرة

Environment
