Abstract

In the Arabic-English and English-Arabic translation activities, the interface is very significant. For translation in the Arabic language, many issues need to be addressed. The existing systems have some problems and research has been initiated to improve. Transliteration is an important component of the translation. We in this study propose a system of interface for Arabic transliteration. The interface shows significance and we do hope to improve further in the forthcoming studies.
