This is great news because it is a community event and not an Apple effort.

Cheers to all the guys who made this happen.

@ Allah,

My thoughts exactly.

Let's not use this as an excuse for ideological diatribes. Though MDN's political leanings are clear, let's simply treat this as Apple-related news since it's important for Apple to remain up-to-date in the global marketplace. Magic Word is "try", as in "try" to be civil!

Maybe 10.6 gets more translations. Apple needs to forge while it's hot. Vista+SlowPCs+iPhone+iTunes=hot_iron_for_Apple

When is the Persian Mac OS X Leopard coming?
Iranians love Macs.

So do you think Bin Laden's still rockin' a PowerBook G4, or has he upgraded to Core 2 duo?

Maybe he has a Macbook Air, much cooler looking when cruising the internet cafes in Quetta. Poor bastard thinks he's found lots of videos of camels on You Tube, but its just Ann Coulter...

Anyone have current/updated info re Hebrew support for the Mac?

Finally! AAPL is going to go through the roof!! Buy Buy Buy!

الله يبارك اولئك الذين يسعون الى السلام والتسامح الديني. محمد فعلت ذلك مع اليهود ، وبذلك يمكن لهذا الجيل مع المسيحيين والمسلمين واليهود والبوذيين.

"Let's not use this as an excuse for ideological diatribes."

I'm with you there. No incendiary comments ... oops ... "incendiary" bad choice of words there ...

I'm all bucked up by this splendid news. Panic should help celebrate by producing a special Arabic-language version of Transmit with a camel icon instead of a little truck.

@OttawaMark
"Let's not use this as an excuse for ideological diatribes." - then you go an launch into one regarding MDN.

Pot meet kettle.

Just what Bin Laden has been waiting for.

Some things I don't understand. Since the islamic world is today's free world's enemy, why should we help them fighting us?????

Excellent. With the US dollar and economy in the toilet thanks to the Bush Administration's laughable economic policies, Apple need to get their income from elsewhere.

@Johan:

There are 1.3 billion Muslims in the world. That's 1 in 5 people on the planet. I guess they are all enemies.

Only 300 million of those are Arabs. There are around 60 million Arabs that are not Muslims (predominantly Christians). I guess they should buy PCs.

The "free world" refers to what exactly? If you are referring to the USA as the free world, it would be an assumption that the remaining 5.9 billion people are either "not free" or somehow less relevant. I guess they should not be a market for computer products.

Perhaps Apple should decide that since its products are helping "them" fight us, that it should not export any products and keep it all in the "free world".

Funny how you started your post with "some things [sic] I don't understand".

"God bless those who seek peace and religious tolerance. Muhammad did so with the Jews, and so can this generation with Christians, Muslims, Jews and Buddhists."

Amen, brother... wish you would have said it in English, but I agree with your sentiment nonetheless. Let's hope, you're not in the minority amongst those who share your faith.

Oh, and Shukran to all those involved in this effort!

Has anyone noticed that the Arabic version is quite snappy?

@Johan

Do you know what country most of the world (including the so-called west) consider the greatest threat to global peace?

As to the topic at hand, considering Apple's feel-good qualities, it has to be a step in the right direction

Now it's easier than ever to illustrate bomb-making manuals with a Mac.

Finally Arabs will be able to download "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" by Christopher Hitchens. That should help.

its funny to watch people insult, it is proven that those who insult other people feel inferior to those who they insult or are not secure for some reason, and it makes me laugh to see people hiding behind their PCs and talking all that hate speech

To everyone who is insulting Arabs:

Did you known that Steve Jobs' biological father is a Syrian Arab Muslim...?

yeah I bet you didn't see that coming did you?

needs mac os x arabic in my mac book air
