convert english to arabic

Question

Hii,i m building a chat application.How to convert english to arabic and display in arabic language.please help.

Answer 1

You could try the Microsoft Translator API - it supports Arabic and is accessible via an AJAX call. There is a string translation example here.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

http://translate.google.com/

Works pretty well for English -> Dutch. I'm not sure about Arabic.

Otherwise pay someone who can speak English and Arabic for it.

Google translate also has an API available for JavaScript I guess.

Answer 3

Having used converters in the past, this worries me. Our people have enough trouble with misunderstanding each other without having a computer mistranslator helping the process.

Answer 4

What about the transliteration please [from Arabic to English Names] :) any hints??

Thanks
