Hi Nani i thank you for your translation!
By the way i want to ask you something, when i was waiting for a translation i went to several sites to see if found "Sara" in arabic. Then i found one site that had a nice virtual keyboard with european and the correspondent arabic characters. There i wrote the word Sara and it looks different from yours, can you explain the reason to me?
So here it goes:
S - س
A - ش
R - ق
A - ش

so, SARA looks like: سشقش

Is this correct?
I like pretty much the look of your translation
thank you very much!!

Nani

Hi rcrespo ... you are welcome ...
about the keyboard ... hmm , the letters in arabic are not written according to there english equivalents .. or at least most of them ... the letter S is an exeption because it has its equivalent .. but in the English letter A in the keyboars you have the Arabic letter that sound * sh * and the R has the letter that sound * qaf* ... so you dont use the same key .. you will find the Arabic letter * alef .. which is pronounced as A* in the key that holds the English letter * H* .. I hope u got what i mean ... if you want to write your name using the keyboard infront of you .. you will have to click on the following keys : * shvi *
and you will get what the same look that i gave you

what is the reason for that .. i have no idea .. but i guess it is the same reason that made those who put the English letters in such a mess in the keyboard do it this way

Thank you once again Nani!
before closing this thread let me make you one more question. You said to me:
"if you want to write your name using the keyboard infront of you .. you will have to click on the
following keys : * shvi * "

Why do I have to press the european key "h" for the first "A" (alef) and for the last "A" I have to press "i" ?
If i press * shvh * i don't have Sara?

Sorry for being so annoying but i'm gonna make a tattoo so i have to be sure what i'm doing
Thanks.

Nani

not at all ... well , Sara in Arabic writting is written like sarah , but we say it sara.. thats why the later *a* in your name is written as the h sound , like the h in hat .. not the a sound .. if you want it as SARA it will be سارا and this is not the way the name Sara is used in Arabic .. which is ساره as i mentioned earlier ...

rcrespo

Thank you very much for all your explanations. I think i'll pick the arabic way of writting Sara with the "h".

You are very nice
Thanks
