VIEW ARABIC WEBPAGES IN LATIN LETTERS BY CLICKING ON APP LOGO top right

1) Install the extension and keep the extension icon visible in your toolbar (in Chrome three dots top right - Extensions - Manage Extensions - Arabeasy - Details - Pin to toolbar)

2) Go to your favourite arabic language website, then click the Arabeasy icon

3) The page text will be transliterated to the roman alphabet for learners who can't yet quickly read the foreign script

4) You can use another extension (e.g. Simple Translate) to translate the foreign script to your language

A 1:1 univocal Arabic:Latin alphabet mapping helps memorize/learn new vocabulary, seeing words exactly as written in the original language. For learners familiar with left-to-right Latin/Western/Roman alphabets, it is a bridge or stepping stone towards reading Arabic script, like training wheels.
