> Microsoft Corporation has launched a new portal to involve Arabic  
> speakers in the process of developing new technology terms for its  
> products. The Localization Portal has been developed to encourage  
> users of Microsoft's Arabic language products to comment on the  
> translation of technology terms and to provide input into translation  
> for future products. Although Windows Vista Arabic has a translated  
> glossary of over 500,000 terms that have been built up over the years,  
> the portal has only around 90 new terms so that users are not  
> overloaded with terms. The portal is intended to provide an ongoing  
> forum for Arabic translation, with new terms added at regular intervals.
