sophistication to be released under an open access license. MeedanMemory

file, which facilitates its integration with most computer assisted
translation tools and translation memory managers.

Professional translators can utilize MeedanMemory

increase consistency and quality in the translation outcome.
Researchers can use this resource in designing and implementing their
research activities into Arabic computer linguistics and machine
language processing, which will lead to the development of better text
search engines and document analysis tools and applications. And
community organizations, non-profits and volunteer communities can
leverage MeedanMemory to facilitate translation between
Arabic and English of the content they produce for lower costs, lower
turnaround times and higher quality.The MeedanMemory
is released under the Open Database License, which permits the use,
copy and distribution of the translation memory, produce work using it,
and to modify, transform and build upon the translation memory.Meedan
is pleased to announce this first release of MeedanMemory, and will
continue to release data generated from the Meedan translation
community into this open repository. We also hope that other
organizations will contribute to the growth of this unique and valuable
