Once again the show almost surprised me by how seemingly accurate it is at the portrayal of (almost?) everything it shows. I've read and watched a lot about the attack on bin Laden's compound, I've watched military documentaries and movies, I've read full declassified CIA reports, recently spent hours listening to highly ranked individuals within the US intelligence and political community talk about Russia's interference in the elections. I'm also familiar with computer security and surrounding subjects. The terms and tools used and the events shown in the series appear to be quite on point. The Russian speaking parts also weren't gibberish as it often happens, and the accents were rather accurate. It's probably safe to assume that the Arabic, Turkish and French parts are on par with it, and even more so considering that there's a comment on here from someone from Turkey that praises the accuracy.

@rosetheflower While this season's story is original and not written by Tom Clancy, the original author of the Jack Ryan books, Clancy served, I believe in the Navy, and had some solid information on how the military and government work. His books were usually praised by people in those lines of work. If the show weren't accurate, it wouldn't really be a Jack Ryan story. That's always been part of the Jack Ryan brand.
