The translation between the Japanese and the English here is a little loose (I guess the Japanese is closer to the Arabic?).

actually, I'd like to think that the english is much closer to the arabic...but yeah, the japanese is more faithful to the original ;) (am I making any sense? :P)

I know what you mean. I just thought that the Japanese / English were close enough for a link, but that I should put in a warning note.
