This package provides functions to write arabic unicode text using latin script letters. It uses the Buckwalter transliteration table for this.

The package provides 2 interactive functions:

• buckwalter-transliterate: replaces latin letters with arabic equivalents.
• buckwalter-transliterate-reverse: replaces arabic letters with latin equivalents.

These functions work on text selection or, if not provided, on the current paragraph.
