Google Arabic Translator

Cool! Check out Google’s new English-Arabic (and vice-versa) translator, which uses statistical analysis of billions of words of text and previous human translations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s evaluation of its accuracy looks pretty good.

Update: I can’t believe I didn’t think to try it on Al Jazeera’s website:

    Hahaha, looks nice, but it’s funny how the letters aren’t connected, so it’s kind of hard to read.

    who can you tell someone ” stay strong” in arabic,

  16. khaled 16 May, 08 @ 8:13 pm

    Helwa = Pretty (Femaile Only) Teshreen = this is actually a Siriani word (Siriani, not Syrian, are people who lived in the Middle East long time ago) and it means: old
    Al Thani = Al means The and Thani means second
    It is a month name which November in western calendar
    There is also Teshreen Al Awal, Al Awal means the first which is the month of October

    A little not on the numbers:

    Wahid = one
    Ithneen = two
    Thalatha = three
    Arabaa = four
    Khamisa = five
    Sitta = six
    Sabaa = seven
    Thamaniyah = eight
    Tesaa = nine
    Ashra = ten

    Thanks = Shukran

    sorry, forgot to mention that the previous response was for Tash picture
    as for Jay, is it: who can you tell someone ” stay strong” in arabic or
    how can you tell someone ” stay strong” in arabic?

    anyway, if you refering to who, then there are male and female addressing:

    who can you tell someone ” stay strong” in arabic?
    kon qawiyan = be strong (male)
    koni qawiyah = be strong (female)
    Ebqa qaweyan = stay strong (Male)
    Ebqi Qawiyah = Stay strong (Female)

    thanks
