Arabic Help Please

Hello,

I just got

الدين.com (xn--mgbq6djt.com).

I thought I had "religion" and I reg'd it. However, afterward I put it in another translator online and I got "Debt" or "Owing." Which is it? It gets about 165 US OVT and about 3.9 million Google...

Thanks!

Thanks for the response, g. Is this a term that people would normally use the "the" with in this context, or does that make it worthless? The stats are still pretty great, IMO...

Thanks!

"the" is commonly used in Arabic terms and does not detract from the value of the domain. The stats tell the story. BTW - I got more than 8M Google results for your term yesterday. Very nice.

Thanks, fab. That's great because I also got الحق.com, and I noticed the "the" on that one as well, although it seems to flow pretty well with that term.

Thanks again for the help.

Re: Arabic Help Please

adding "the" to arabic terms is very much accepted and sometimes it is better to add it to some terms .... and because the term remains one word I find it fantastic way to find a good alternative to generic terms.

and as thefabfive said it doesn't affect domain value at all
