Abstract :
Today´s Internet is enormously lacking Arabic language content. Although Internet users from the Arab world are increasing rapidly, the digital Arabic content still lacks serious research and development plans. In this paper, we present the main challenges facing the digital Arabic content industry and opportunities for developing the presence of Arabic language on the web at both individual and governmental levels. We also highlight recent initiatives within UAE which aim to increase the visibility of digital Arabic content. One example is the Arabic reCAPTCHA research project at Khalifa University.
