Arabic is one of the most common languages on the planet.

Estimates vary. But hundreds of millions of people speak Arabic.

Now Skype has a Web page for Arabic speakers.

Oksana Morina gives the details on the main Skype blog.

She notes: "Skype is all about conversation - and we realize that it's sometimes hard to have a conversation with someone when you don't speak the same language.

"That's why we try to add new languages to our repertoire when we can, and today we've launched an Arabic version of the Skype website. For the hundreds of millions of Arabic speakers across the globe, Skype now speaks the way you do."
