| Kalmasoft Arabic Transliteration System "KATS" © |
| KATS (Kalmasoft Arabic Transliteration System ©) is a mixed case transliteration system for Arabic and ASBL; KATS tends to maintain the balance between both the phonemic and orthographic characteristics, two contradicting factors; the best pairs have been chosen to achieve this goal while still being able to reverse the process i.e. restoring the target Abjad script. You may download KATS as text file or the print version from the link below. |
