My readers sometimes ask me about Arabic software tools for the web. I just wanted to flag for them Yamli.com, which I’m finding a real delight. It would be slow for someone who was a good touch typist in Arabic, but for those of us who peck out the letters, it is wonderful, and it lets you use a qwerty Roman keyboard with smart prompts. It is a great way to surf the Arabic Web and the Arabic news.
