Do Arab Startups Really Need An Arabic Interface? [Poll]

Mohamed Marwen Meddah | April 30, 2008 | comment

A new poll has gone live on StartUpArabia, you can find it on the first sidebar on the right or vote straight from this post.

This poll’s question is quite specific to Arab startups, and it asks:
Do Arab startups really need an Arabic interface?

Is it really a necessity? For each and every startup? No matter where in the Arab world the startup is from?

What do you think?

Feel free to further expand on your response in the comments section of this post.

For me it's not a must, but I know people who are really used to Arabic websites, they only visit Arabic language sites and for them dealing with English language is a pain in the butt.
