I've just started using google translator ( http://translate.google.com/ ) to practice my Arabic by punching in websites I know and seeing how much I can understand. Its the best online translator I've found so far, and really does a pretty good job. Recommended for anyone who has need of the service. (I'm willing to take sugestions of someone knows of one that's a lot better that I've overlooked though.) I really like the "mouse over to see original text" feature; really helps with words you just can't figure out (improves your foreign language vocab too.)

Just for shits and giggles, here's the link to the "50 NES quotes" article in Arabic. I considered doing the "100 Best NES Games," but trying to puzzle out the actual game quotations in Arabic was far, far more amusing. (Some of the literal translations are quite funny lol.) Behold! :

I need to go translate Jeebus' blog next, just to see how they deal with all the MtG references... Laughing
