[Corpora-List] Arabic transliteration

[Nicholas Sanders]

While I have no idea as to why Lamia wants to do this, I know why I  
do - I want to make it convenient for a specific group of re- 
translators to work with texts originally in Arabic (or Farsi) but  
already translated into English, when they do not know Arabic (or  
Farsi) but could use Arabic (or Farsi) to English dictionaries and/or  
corpora to enhance their efforts, if only they were able to read the  
script used to represent the former.
