Hati Fukui Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Hello guys, im currently trying to create my own decal set since its hard to find here in Brazil and importing will take too long. I choose to do the etihad 787-9 but im stuck on that arabic type writing bellow the windows. Do someone know what is written there and what language is that? If you have any high resolution pic of this specific part and can share with me, will help a lot. Best wishes! https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9790590 https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9159628 Edited July 21, 2020 by Hati Fukui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It looks like a stylised form of the Arabic for "Etihad". (I think it means United). َإتحاد Nice looking livery - Landor design I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that Ed,...... `United',....... especially as Manchester City are sponsored by them and play at the Etihad Stadium,...... their rivals,.....Manchester United,...... must be having a proper old chuckle!! All the best mate Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Maybe "From Abu Dhabi to the world" - it's a bit small to read. من أبو ظبي إلى العالم 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaler x Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If you have a smartphone, install Google Translate app on it. Then use the phone's camera from within that app--it will translate from almost any language in real time, giving you superimposed text over the live camera view. Very handy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Had an idea and went to their website. Their slogan is 'The World Is Our Home, You Are Our Guest'. That could be it. But more likely as Ed says 'From Abu Dhabi to the world' as that's mentioned too. Edited July 22, 2020 by noelh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - it's very stylised. العالم بيتنا ، أنت ضيفنا No - I think my first approximation above is right. I tried the smartphone method - it translated as "Do not umpteen backwards eight tin-opener" Do you think it could be that? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would do it is load the picture into Photoshop, cut off the excess and then rotate, de-skew and re-scale it to restore the perspective and aspect ratio. Then convert it to a much higher resolution and clean it up and make it sharp. (Or, if you're good with Illustrator, convert it to a vector image and do some cleanup there instead.) Here is a good starting point. Alternatively, find the Arabic font which is close enough and simply use it to recreate the phrase as an image by using the Type tool.
