Towards a standard Arabic information processing vocabulary1
This paper is concerned with the development of a standard Arabic information processing vocabulary. It has been considered that the development of such a vocabulary does not only involve the translation of information processing terms into Arabic, but it also includes the provision of standard definitions for them. The paper establishes the necessary ground for the required plan by reviewing the special features of the information processing terms, and how they have been dealt with by various institutions and individuals, both internationally, and within the Arab world. The proposed plan consists of several tasks, and considers the necessity of obtaining pan-Arab recognition of the target vocabulary, and the importance of cooperation with international efforts.
