I have a character who is of Arabic origin and as such I want to name his techniques (he is a character for Anima Beyond Fantasy) in his native tongue, the problem is that I haven't found an English-Arabic on-line translator that shows the translation in English alphabet, not in Arabic alphabet.

So can anyone help?

Google Translate has a text to voice function. Run that a few times to figure some Latin letters that would be most appropriate, though I can not vouch for it's accuracy one way or the other.

If it's a one off, you could PM me.

Do you mind if some of them might be "Emirati Arabic" translations rather than "Fas-ha Arabic"?

Thank you very much, just one question... what is the difference between Emirati Arabic and Fas- Ha Arabic?

Written Arabic (Fas-ha)is still akin to "Ye Olde English" and is universal (used on pan-Arab tv).
Spoken differs from place to place. Emirati is from the United Arab Emirates.

I'll try Fas-ha, but may have to settle for Emirati occassionally. Though I could always find out.

Alternatively sending me what the translator says will mean I can read it.

Great thanks, just give me a few minutes while I write the techniques to be translated :smallsmile:

I gtg sleep but I'll be up in 4 hours if you still need it. Remember to PM it to me. If you have the Arabic in Arabic and just want it "read" I can do that for you too.
