[Hidden-tech] REQ: Native Arabic tester(s)

[Chas Emerick]

We are about three months from starting a development project that will 
be focussed on processing Arabic text.  We are in a position to 
complete the project because we have the technical skills to meet 
requirements, but we are lacking in our ability to do reliable testing 
and QA given an Arabic dataset.  Therefore, we are beginning to search 
for (preferably) local people who have:

- the ability to read and write Arabic as their first language
- a better-than-average understanding of Arabic customs with regard to 
grammar, style, page layout, etc

Bonus skills might include:

- some capabilities in other 'eastern' languages including Urdu, Farsi, 
and Hindi
- a background in software development or testing
- knowledge of Unicode and/or other 'legacy' character sets that are 
used to encode Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Hindi, etc.

Eventually, we hope our business in these languages grows to the point 
where we can employ a person (or persons) with these skills 
permanently.  However, the work will be on an as-needed contracting 
basis at least through the course of this year.

Please direct your resumés or other inquiries to me directly via email.

Thanks,

Chas Emerick
