Urgent! All Arabic Translators Needed ASAP!!!
Guys, I know there are some people here who have done a great job finding resources that can translate Arabic into English. Well, here's an urgent project that may have some clues about the current monetary policy.
The CBI has recently issued a statement about inflation, on this page (in Arabic): افاخبار
The introduction to a PDF exhibit on this page says the following (which I got from using Google Translator):
"A press statement from the Iraqi Central Bank on the phenomenon of inflation (witness annex):"
On the Arabic page, this is followed by a PDF of the announcement, here. It's a scanned document, available only in Arabic.
http://cbiraq.org/News_Ar-12-2006.pdf
For some reason, the English version of this page DOES NOT HAVE A TRANSLATED VERSION OF THE ANNEX THAT THE ARABIC PAGE DOES. Perhaps they haven't had time to translate it, yet, or perhaps they don't want it widely disseminated in the West.
I've tried everything I know in terms of copying the PDF, and trying to paste it into Google Translator. It won't work, mostly because the text is scanned text, and Adobe Acrobate doesn't recognize Arabic text.
Can anyone help? If anyone can find a way to translate this document, I'd love to know what it says. Thanks in advance for your help, maybe this can yield a big clue as to what's going on at the CBI with Iraqi monetary policy.
