Can you monetize a non-English comic on Tapas?

Hello!
I'm a webcomic illustrator new to Tapas. I have a webcomic that I publish in both English and Arabic, but I haven't found a proper platform to publish the latter while generating some revenue to help me keep going.
I'm considering uploading it on Tapas, but I'd like to ask, does Tapas allow monetizing non-English comics?

I'd like to confirm as my Arabic version was rejected on another platform because of the lack of reviewers for the language.

I'd appreciate it if you have any useful insights to share about this!

As long as you have 100 subscribers, ad revenue will be unlocked no matter if it's in English or other language. It's used to have a 250 caps but i guess they lower it?

Oh really? So it gets unlocked automatically? Thank you for sharing!

Yup. It is said that as long as you're over 18 there will be no problem whatsoever with it.

Omg its pluvias! Im a fan, I love your art! I hope you will be able to monetize your work soon. Once you have enough subscribers, you can unlock ad revenue. And once you have reached a certain number of subscribers (forgot the amount), you can receive ink donations, to which when you have enough, you can contact Tapas to have your ink converted to money.

Yeah I checked this page before posting but I was afraid there are additional terms that aren't written there (had my share of disappointments :'D)
It's a relief to know, thank you so much!

Omggg you recognize me? hello and thank you so much!! ToT
I really appreciate sharing your insights and I'm really looking forward to reach that number because it's been such a rocky ride with the non-English version of my webtoon :"D
I uploaded it to Tapas today and I'm trying to get the 100 subs now, thank you so much for your answer! >w<
