Hi, While a little bit niche, and while unfortunately not enough Arabic speaking folks are in the hi-tech scene in Israel, I still send this query, and feel free to ask an Arabic speaking friend.
Is there an open standard/de facto standard/implementation of Arabic transliteration. From Hebrew or from English. I'm interested in implementing an open source transliteration library, and I want to base it on some sort of standard, if possible. Skimming Wikipedia, I can see a lot of standards for writing Arabic in roman letters, most aren't useful enough, at least for Hebrew speakers with standard English keyboard, for example, requiring hard-to-type characters. Searching the web, I can see some implementations, but I didn't spot anything that looks like it's very well known and used. Is there any standard way to transliterate English/Hebrew to Arabic? (please, if you do not know anything about this topic, do not run a web search, read about it a bit, and write your findings. This is not helpful for me, as my main concern is, what would an Arabic speaking individual find useful, and it requires someone who actually know about this topic)
