I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Bump - if you know a forumite who speaks Farsi, could you point them here?
(Someone who knows the Arab alphabet would be enough - just post that stuff up there in written form, and Google will do the rest of the work.)

latinized as best I can:

2 -- p-y-r y-d y-l
t-y-a-z-w-l 2 -- a-y-l
4 -- m-t-y-l t-y-a-z-w-l

بير يد يل
تيازول ايل
مييل تيازول



So this is the best I can manage off a semester of arabic 4 years ago.  Fun fact, in Farsi there is a letter "pey" which does not appear in arabic, leading me to get hella confused the first character in!

Things to note: farsi is read right to left but I wrote this english style, left to right.  Arabic languages omit the vowels generally with the exception of "a" and I didn't even try to guess them.

Thanks! The second first* part is especially valuable for me.

*Google Translate is apparently completely useless for technical terms in Arabic/Farsi.

Glad to be of service.  Praise Darwin.  Death to America.
