    Translation of 2600 website

    		 We are currently in the process of creating an Arabic mirror of the site. A translator has been found. Help is always welcomed.

    We now have access to a translation engine, meaning if you click the little Egyptian flag, the whole site translates into Arabic automatically.

    		 06/May/04 Completed
    Arabic for "Hacker" Currently the term 'hacker' translates as 'El Qursan' meaning 'Pirate'. This is a complete misrepresentation of the hacker community and is a total demonisation! We will try to coin a new, more appropriate term.

    In recent articles on hackers in news papers, they all spelt the word 'hacker' phonetically in Arabic.
