Google Ta3reeb Arabic Transliteration
Google Arabic Transliteration (ta3reeb) is another cool service by Google, that translates the Roman characters into Arabic and vice versa. Don’t we Arabs have numbers standing for our extra characters, and don’t we get non-Arabic speakers confused when we do so? We have it now as brand names even. Taw9eel.com, 6alabat.com, and others. But the confusion can be cleared out:
Simply write the word or sentence you need, e.g. Taw9eel. Get the Arabic word for it, and put it into Google Translate.
You can read more about it here. One thing to note is, this service is, while marked with Labs, does not seem to be listed in Google Labs, and not in Google Kuwait Labs. I found it by chance while searching. Enjoy
UPDATE: Frankly, I was just emailing the guys on my list and I thought of using it. Quite cool I might actually depend on it, partially for fun ;).

cool but I wish there is tool to do the opposite because there is some devices doesn’t support Arabic and I need to transfer some text to there ! :(
eiktub.com has a similar but more complete service. It allows full vowelization of Arabic (tashkeel).
Sam: Cool, thanks. Though I would be surprised if many people actually want to go to the level of vowelization when without them we have an extra large spelling mistakes.
Good luck though, all the best :)
cool tool for those who aren’t familiar with the arabic/numbers syntax, if I ever find the university project I told you about, I’ll let you know.
