Known spellings use common-word or story-corpus candidates. Unknown words stay in Latin until you accept a rough draft. These settings affect rough drafts, not dictionary spellings. This converts writing; it does not translate dialect into MSA.
Common Arabizi number letters
Conventions vary. Standalone numbers such as 2026 are preserved. Digraphs sh, kh and gh are common; single short vowels do not reliably tell us which Arabic letters to write.

Make sense of what you’re practicing
Arabizi has no single spelling standard
Writers represent Arabic sounds with Latin letters, digraphs, and numbers. 3 and 7 commonly represent ع and ح, but conventions for other sounds differ by dialect, region, and individual writer.
Numbers can be letters or quantities
In 7abibi, the 7 represents a consonant. In a date or phone number, digits remain digits. This converter preserves standalone numbers and lets you review each Latin word before accepting a rough conversion.
Dialect remains dialect
Changing script does not convert Egyptian, Levantine, or Gulf grammar into Modern Standard Arabic. Common informal words retain informal spellings. For formal writing, review the wording as well as the letters.
Review mixed-language text
English words can resemble Arabic transliterations. Common English words are preserved, and every token can be kept in its original form. Corpus candidates are possible spellings, not a guarantee of the intended sense. Everything runs locally in the browser.
