"Very good piece of software. I have tried it and get maximally satisfied with it. And the greatest - the opportunity to change languages straight in any application, without any quits. Thank you, guys !"

great Arabic localization!

"I have been using Arabic Piloc. It is invaluable for entering and reading addresses in Arabic. In addition, for those of you who want to read the names of songs in Arabic, such as MP3s, Piloc can also read the Arabic song tites of those files you put on your SD card. I highly recommend this product for those who use Arabic often."
