Arabic MSX article

KhaldoonSaid • Aug 30, 2005 at 11:56

For all Arabic MSX lovers out there, I write weekly articles for the AlShark AlAwsat newspaper, and my next Tuesday's (Sep 6th) article is going to be about MSX...the link is http://www.asharqalawsat.com go to the technology section and you will find it. If you want, u can buy the physical paper itself from any shop.....It has a green cover if you don't know it....Long live MSX PS: I'm not marketing for the paper, I just happen to be a weekly writer who loves MSX, and I wrote an article about it...it's gonna be good....ciao guys

Nice, will you also make a english version of it ?

Sorry Sylvester, but I write for the Arabic section only. The English section has other writers and articles :( This is a good reason for you to learn Arabic lol.....just kidding.....

Hi guys As promised, here is the Arabic version of the MSX article http://www.asharqalawsat.com/details.asp?section=13&issue=9779&article=321682 I will translate it into English, but I have some real life (tm) work to finish first. Ciao

Well, it looks nice :) Can't read it, but I like the picture you made :) Funny to see that you read from right to left, looks diffecult, cause the arabic is from right to left and the english words are from right to left.

Thanks sylvester. True, arabic is read from right to left, but when an English word is inserted into an Arabic article, it is read from left to right...it seems confusing, but it's not. We face some problems when the typesetters (at the newspaper) have an Arabic-English article due to left-to-right and right-to-left context. Glad you liked the article, and I'll translate right after I finish my pending tasks.
