Hossam's question is quite relevant to what almost the majority of
Arabic speakers feel(I'm an Iraqi living in Sweden).
Dear Hossam,
You know that when there's no correspondence to certain terms in a
foreign language the best way is to transliterate that term into
Arabic that's to say to render a phonetic transfer of the term into
Arabic and the second step is to make that term as suitable as
possible to the Arabic sound system(phonology), ex.:Democracy.
Best regards,
Ahmed
