[maemo-developers] Arabic l10n

[From: Al Khadra]

Got you. I personally like to keep the original English system and have
Arabic enabled instead of fully localized.

 I think Nokia should exploit the huge market of the Arab Gulf states.
Next Gitex exhibition in Dubai would be an excellent opportunity. 

By the way, since we launched the Arabic Keyboard we're getting lots of
feedback and visitors to the Site.

 Regards,

 AK
