Interface

The language of the buttons and labels, not of what you type.

Your letters

Arabizi has no standard, so two people from the same city will disagree about what 6 means. Add as many rules as you like; they win over the dialect defaults.

Typing

How suggestions behave while you write.

Search

Where the Search button sends you.

Search engine

Use bangsStart or end what you write with !yt, !w, !gh and it goes straight to that site. Resolved here, so there is no redirect through anyone else.

Search from the address bar

Add 7aki as a browser search engine and your queries go to the search engine you picked above. Nothing is converted unless you ask: put !ar in a query to transliterate it first, or !tr to translate it.

Convert every query, without me askingOff by default, because the address bar is where you also type English and URLs. Turning it on makes !ar the assumed mode; !raw then skips conversion for one query.

How to set it up

Visit this site once, which you have just done. Your browser has already found 7aki.
Open Settings, then Search engines, then Manage search engines and site search.
Scroll to Inactive shortcuts. That is where the browser files an engine it has discovered but you have not used yet. Find 7aki, open its three-dot menu, and choose Activate.
7aki moves up to Site search. Open its three-dot menu again and choose Make default.
Firefox: click the address bar, then the magnifying glass, then Add 7aki.
Safari does not let sites add themselves as search engines, so this one is Chrome, Edge and Firefox only.
