Hi,
You are right, the Egyptian version is understood widely amongst Arabic countries.
www.byki.com is a FREE SITE allowing the download of FREE Language Software which includes Arabic.
However, I have a package on my other computer (which is 'down' at the moment which is better. Send me an email via tundawenna2@hotmail.com as a reminder & when the machine is running again, will send you a copy.
It includes the alphabet / writing which is really not that difficult - I've recently started to teach myself.
Hope this helps.
Kindest Regards,
Sidney
