• Is there is any way I can localize data that come from firebase in my app?

There are many ways in which you can locate a user, but this requires enabling the device's location, asking for permissions, and so on. This option might not be the best one, because I, as a traveler, if I visit your country and download your app, I'll get Arabic content and I won't be happy with that, because I don't know Arabic. The best option that you have is to display the content according to the language the user has already set on the device. So it doesn't matter where the user is localized, the user will always see the content in the language he likes. For example, if a user from your country will travel to the United States, he will still see the content of your app in Arabic, which makes sense, because it's possible that the user might not know English.

Another option might be to let the user choose the language even from the beginning when first time opens the app. That way, you'll always be sure about the preferred language. However, don't forget to add the option to update this preference later, if needed.
