Unfortunitly no.
The correction would be:
I don't speak Arabic so don't any of you try to ask me to do any of your translations for you. I've been all over the world throughout my life and that would also include United Arab Emirates, Syria, and Israel so I happen to know a thing or two about their cultures to spot something that doesn't look right.

I believe it's possible that those of you who use a translator for Arabic and still got it wrong either don’t have the proper Arabic font installed or the image editing program you are using doesn't support it. This is why I posted the Arabic correction as an image so those without the font could see it as it should be. Sorry for putting so much emphasis on this, but I'd hate to see a lot of you hard work gone to waste, because of wrong translation.

Sorry a bit off topic but..
Are you sure it isn't like the same as people can have Joined Up Handwriting? they join thier words up too?
The font appearing in many of the apps I have installed are showing me samples beside font named "Taditional Arabic"...

The sample is similar to what google gave me, though thats just the sample I could be wrong...
"Well test the font, type something and see if its a match..."
That's the thing see, the Traditional Arabic fonts installed, once selected just dont write out in arabic when I type, not in notepad, MS word 07 or photoshop. Infact none of the non-latin fonts work, they just come out in a plain arial font, all in english.

Attention to some of you copying and pasting Arabic translations from the web into to Photoshop. Photoshop might interpret it in an incorrect format. It seems the “Traditional Arabic” font of Photoshop isn’t displaying the copyed sentences properly. It splits the connected Arabic words into random, individual alphabets which translate to gibberish.
Both
Office 2007 and
Paint read it correctly, yet the available
Photoshop Arabic fonts decode it wrong:

I did a mock-up of a Hezbollah Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah who advertised in the original that "Israel must be wiped out from the world". Checkout the original
here.
I've found some dude that could be a local politician/warmonger and joked around in illustrator and ps like it is his anti-us propaganda.
Other than that, he can be a local hero, tank buster, that blowed away a tank with HAT, but eventually got shot, and now is enjoying the time of his life with herds of whores on jennet
Text is of course horse jibberish...

Before:
After:

The phone was looking a bit dodgy before, a bit malformed because the image is from a magazine. That's fixed now.
Uh, its not the rekia 660 anymore :d uh:... it's the 2110 now

fonts been fixed.
Text just says "
The new rekia 2110. Exclusive, only to red."
I quite like the camel and the coca ones.
