Hello Forum!

I'm needing some help translating text spelled as: "kif sa7tak, chou 3am ta3mil?"

I don't speak Arabic and I am trying to understand songs which lyrics are only available like that.

I know there are services that allow you to type in and transliterate each word as you do so, however they do not allow me to simply paste the text, I'd have to type it.

Thank you in advance!

Here, it is eves mentioned in the wiki as an example. It says „How is your health, what are you doing?”

I'm sorry, I thought I had implied I meant automated transliteration. :-)

And I am aware of the article, that is where I got my example from.
