Hello
The Company Al Zahra Centre - VENUS should be changed to Venus Centre only, what is the point of adding the arabic pronunciation of the Arabic name to the name? + the Arabic pronunciation is Az Zuhra (The Venus), not Al Zahra (The Flower).

May I ask where does the word "Centre" come from?

Do they appear in credits in English or Arabic? If in English, is there an example of this anywhere?

Please rename company #4149 to "Venus Center", there is no reason to add the latinised Arabic name

BTW: the Arabic spelling is "AlZuhra" (Venus), not "AlZahra" (flower).

I'm not a psychic, but I'm comfortable in my prediction that there are a couple of people who are going to ask you a couple of questions.

The "Center" is the translation of "مركز - Markaz"


This is the official name as it appears in the credits.

The credits only shows the logo with "Venus" written in it in English, and "مركز الزهرة" which means "Venus Center" in Arabic.

I don't get your point, how is this related to the current issue?
