About Franco-Arab (Arabizi)

Franco-Arab — also called Arabizi or Franco — writes Arabic with Latin letters and numbers, using digits for sounds with no Latin equivalent: 3 for ع, 7 for ح, 2 for the hamza, 5 for خ, and so on. It spread through early SMS and chat. This tool maps between Franco and Arabic script both ways; because the style varies from person to person, treat the output as a strong starting point rather than a perfect transcription.
