Hey,

A friend of mine just stumbled on some new microsoft app which is quite interesting: Maren (http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/egypt/cmic/maren/).

The idea is to add a language to your language bar (arabic that is) and when you choose arabic, everything you write is directly translated from the 2,3,5,7 latin arabic words, to well plain old arabic :)
It's the same thing as yamli or google service, but you don't need to copy paste ^^

Very interesting. I cannot try it since I don't use Windows, but could you give me a little more detailed review? Does it actually work as promised? What are its flaws/defects? Is it easy to install? Is it easy to use?

It'd be great if someone could test it out and give more infos, thanks :)
I've tried it out when I was still on Windows, it worked really great... I don't remember anything that went wrong while using it.
Now this is freakishly amazing. I just tried it and it works wonders for someone as slow as me in typing arabic.
Cool, I'm trying it at home! thanks alot!
