Google News is fluent in Arabic!

Posted by William Kanaan, Middle East and North Africa Product Manager
We're delighted to announce the launch of four new Arabic editions of Google News for
Egypt
,
Lebanon
,
Saudi Arabia
, and the
United Arab Emirates
. Users in these countries can now access their country-specific news editions and get the latest headlines in topics such as Business, Sports, Entertainment and more.
With more than 40 million Arabic-speaking internet users across multiple countries, we understand the need to provide our users with the most relevant news for their region. Like all Google News editions, our computer-generated Arabic editions aggregate headlines from thousands of news outlets around the world, group similar stories together and link directly to the original sources that publish these stories. This enables users to search for topics they're interested in, and read a wide variety of perspectives from different sources. It also enables publishers to expand their reach to a wider audience, thus increasing traffic to their site.
If you'd like to see a site included in Google News, or would like to send feedback our way, please
contact us
.
We're very excited to offer this service to our Arabic users in Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and we look forward to covering the rest of the Arab countries in the near future!
