"Arabicization" is the process of transcribing a name using the Arabic script, this is made possible by Kalmasoft's Romanized Names Arabicizer, a module that produces the vocalized Arabicized version of romanized names written in basic latin alphabet.

The adoption of any name into other language is usually accompanied by a process of adjusting its original pronunciation to suit the phonological regularities in the new language, some names undergo significant transformation to accommodate the phonological characteristics of the target language.

Our system is designed following a strategy that limits such transformation to minimal. The vagueness and inexactness of pronunciation inherent in the source languages are solved with flexible phonetic based algorithm adaptable to the contrasting cultural naming patterns and styles used around the world. The system supports more than 220 countries and 70 languages that phonemically affect name romanization.

The system is also capable of retrieving names of Arabic origin that are romanized in many different and obsecure ways like (Halid, Ahmet, Houcene).
