Everyone who owns an iPad suffers from a major problem, which is the lack of an Arabic keyboard. There are some programs in the Apple Store that provide an Arabic keyboard, but honestly, I did not try it because I know that I will not benefit from it after the first update to the iPad that I was expecting at the Apple WWDC conference, but it seems that the next update will be directly to 4.0 in the fall of 2010 as Apple promised when it was launched A glimpse of iOS 4.0 in April.
While trying to get around this problem, I remembered that some sites on the Internet offer a virtual Arabic keyboard for free. And after my experience of a number of them I found that the solution provided by the site yamli He is the best. For best results, it is preferred to use The simple editor is in the same site.
The way to write on the site is easy, which is to write in Arabicized English, and the site converts English characters into Arabic. For example, when you want to write the word "Islam", you write "islam" and the site will convert the letters into Arabic.
Yamli advantages:
1) Completely free.
2) Ease of writing and editing.
3) You can write unlimited pages
The disadvantages of yamli:
1) You need to be online
2) Writing is based on Arabized English, and for those like me who are not used to writing in this way, they will find it difficult at first before adapting to writing in this way.
This is what I came up with after several experiments. What is your experience? Share with us the best way to write in Arabic on the iPad, perhaps we can find a better method. Finally, can you guess which device we wrote this post on?
