Arabic NVDA
The Arabic NVDA is the localized version for the Arabic world. We work to keep a good localized version of the screenreader, including documentation, useful recordings and support to arabic speaking users through a website and a mailing list.
The localization and documentation is pushed upstream to the NVDA project, so that if the user downloads NVDA, and Arabic is detected as their language, the Arabic interface and documentation is presented to them.
We also work to disseminate the knowledge of the existance of this project, so that schools and organizations in the Arabic world may benefit from this work.
