 * Class Name: English-Arabic Transliteration
 *  
 * Filename:   Transliteration.php
 *  
 * Original    Author(s): Khaled Al-Sham'aa <khaled@ar-php.org>
 *  
 * Purpose:    Transliterate English words into Arabic by render them
 *             in the orthography of the Arabic language and vise versa  
 *

 *
 * English-Arabic Transliteration
 *    
 * PHP class transliterate English words into Arabic by render them in the 
 * orthography of the Arabic language and vise versa.
 *    
 * Out of vocabulary (OOV) words are a common source of errors in cross language 
 * information retrieval. Bilingual dictionaries are often limited in their coverage 
 * of named- entities, numbers, technical terms and acronyms. There is a need to 
 * generate translations for these "on-the-fly" or at query time.
 * 
 * A significant proportion of OOV words are named entities and technical terms. 
 * Typical analyses find around 50% of OOV words to be named entities. Yet these 
 * can be the most important words in the queries. Cross language retrieval 
 * performance (average precision) reduced more than 50% when named entities in the 
 * queries were not translated.
 * 
 * When the query language and the document language share the same alphabet it may 
 * be sufficient to use the OOV word as its own translation. However, when the two 
 * languages have different alphabets, the query term must somehow be rendered in 
 * the orthography of the other language. The process of converting a word from one 
 * orthography into another is called transliteration.
 * 
 * Foreign words often occur in Arabic text as transliteration. This is the case for 
 * many categories of foreign words, not just proper names but also technical terms 
 * such as caviar, telephone and internet.
 * 
 * Example:
 * <code>
 *   include('./I18N/Arabic.php');
 *   $obj = new I18N_Arabic('Transliteration');
 *     
 *   $ar_word_1 = $obj->en2ar($en_word_1);
 *   $en_word_2 = $obj->ar2en($ar_word_2);
 * </code>
