Typing Arabic means a right-to-left keyboard most people do not have set up, even for a name or a short label.
Spell the sounds in Latin here and get Arabic script that flows right to left, ready to copy, with the usual caveat that short vowels are not written.
How to use English to Arabic Transliteration
- Type Arabic sounds in Latin in the left panel, for example salaam.
- Note that short vowels are usually left out, as the hint line explains.
- Copy the right-to-left Arabic from the result panel.
Use cases
- Write Arabic names and greetings from a Latin keyboard.
- Create simple Arabic labels and headings.
- Draft short Arabic phrases for messages.
Good to know
Arabic normally omits short vowel marks, so automatic transliteration cannot always tell which short vowel you meant. Hamza and ayn are approximated, and the output panel uses automatic direction so the script reads right to left.
Frequently asked questions
Why are short vowels missing?
Arabic script usually does not write short vowels, so the converter leaves them out the way standard Arabic does.
How are hamza and ayn handled?
They are approximated from your spelling, so check words where the glottal sounds matter, especially names.
Does the output read right to left?
Yes. The result panel uses automatic direction, so Arabic appears right to left and copies that way into RTL-aware apps.
