Interesting site advertising here on DU. eta: whoops, cutting and pasting the text from the advertisement failed (see title of thread). eta again: I tried again, but my arabaic posting fu is weak.

Anyone know anything about the site. How does it compare to Al Jazeera?

I types in the URL for the site (http://www.al-khayma.com/) into google, and hit translate page.

WTF???

8. Arabic.

Looks to be very heavy on advertising.

UAE, I'm thinking, but Egyptian's in the running. Ras al-Khayma is a place in the UAE. My rudimentary background knowledge about Arabic includes the probably specious claim that the use of final 'y' without the dots under it is an Egyptian peculariarity; this doesn't use the dots.

Having clicked on their webpage, I'm now checking for spyware.

17. yep, typical google translation.

It only gets one so far. Still, its an easy way to get the gist of a webpage thats in a language one doesn't understand.
