What is so funny about an Arabic version? We do have some users also in countries like Egypt (from where the translator comes)! It took 10 years until someone finally made the translation...

"Muslim Ghisler" instead of "Christian Ghisler" could be funny in the context where totfun wrote it. An Arabic version of TC is not funny, of course.
BTW: We use the Arabic representation of the numbers (AFAIK). Some centuries ago we "downloaded" it free of charge...

(But if you think that my post can be misunderstood, you can delete it)

Too bad I can't edit the Language poll: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=650
and add Arabic. But Christian can keep track of the number of downloads on the server....

Off-topic

although the digits 1, 2, 3 etc are called "arabic" they have actually changed their shape, with their journey to the West. Arabic written language uses today these characters -
٠ (zero) ١ (one) ٢ (two) ٣ (three) ٤ (four) ٥ (five) ٦ (six) ٧ (seven) ٨ (eight) ٩ (nine).

I' ve heard that arabs - in their turn - have alse borrowed the symbols from the eastern nationalities.
