        guiWindowSetSizable(window, false)
guiSetVisible(window,false) 


        English = guiCreateMemo(14, 44, 215, 176, "", false, window)
        Arabic = guiCreateMemo(370, 44, 211, 176, "", false, window)    





addEventHandler("onClientGUIChanged",root,
function () 
if source == Arabic then 
local selectedLanguage = guiGetText(Arabic) 
guiSetText(English, translations[selectedLanguage]['A']) 
end
end 
)

function open () 
if guiGetVisible(window) == false then 
guiSetVisible(window,true)

guiSetVisible(window,false) 
showCursor(false)
end
end
bindKey("F6","down",open)

This would be transliteration, not actual translation, and be warned that it follows particular sets of rules, depending on the language. You may find this useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Arabic

I have made a mistake

translations = {
["ا"] = "A" ,
["ب"] = "B" ,
}
function ArabicToEnglish(str)
  return str:gsub(".",translations) --I don't know whether this works
end
