[mkgmap-dev] arabic translation to latin

Hello at All, in some tiles from africa are only name-tags as name:ar=<anywhat>. Example : OSM -ID 786.582.586 : addr:street= <arabic chars> ; amenity=hospital; healthcare=hospital; name:ar=<arabic chars>. If I compile this tile with code-page=1252,  there shows up as name very cryptic  like _/Mstshf ~?Lt?Hyl. /_If I use codepage=65001 ,then shows up the original arabic chars. But I am not able to read arabic. Because that I am looking for a solution to automatic translation from arabic to latin. mkgmap includes already  a translation-table. But this table do not contain arabic. Can you give me any hints for integrating arabic to latin ? How to expand this table? It should contain also arabic. thanks thomas
