I will do some more research and try to understand the situation.

You are probably correct about the keyboard.  I do not know how useful that font will be. Arabic is a phonetic not easy to learn. Right to left except for numbers which are the same position units - tens - hundreds from the right.   1234 is still 1234

Do a search for Windows and Private User Area, it seems there is a Windows tool to make your own and using it is from the character map. This the first I found  https://youtu.be/D2XH8osK6Fc  bound to be better somewhere.

I worked in the Middle-East for a good number of years, all biz and documents in English so never picked up any Arabic.  For translations you have to go:
first translator english to arabic
then
second translator arabic back to english and compare with the original.

best of luck

This experience seems fascinating to me. Living immersed in another culture for a few years, especially a culture so different from our own, is undoubtedly quite an adventure.

I imagine you have many interesting stories from this experience. 


I thought that writing in Latin characters using this font would produce a text that looked like Arabic text.

The result left a lot to be desired.

However, it is useful in RPG games as a message to be deciphered.

What is initially an eligible text, when copied and pasted becomes an immediately readable text.

I'm going to talk to a master of an RPG group and suggest this to him. I think he'll like the idea.
