Then why are the Egyptians involved in the project? Is there something
which is not Motif but IBM calls it Motif (or MOTIF)?

Assuming that the Hetz Motif is THE True Motif, and assuming that the
Egyptians are somehow involved with BiDi Motif in lieu of Eli Marmor; then
why doesn't the project use English-only dialogs? I assume that the
system is sufficiently complicated to require lots of technical training,
so people would recognize the terms when written in English, anyway?
