decoding URL encoded strings
Hi,
I have a couple pages of URL encoded strings that I need to unencode (they were originally in Arabic). So the first step is to unencode the strings and then to translate them to English. They are actually lists of words so the translation from Arabic to English shouldn't be too complicated. Any suggestions as to how I might best proceed?

NAME
american-english - a list of English words
DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/american-english is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.
FILES
There may be any number of word lists in /usr/share/dict/. /etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to the currently-chosen
/usr/share/dict/<language> file. /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to /etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which
other software should refer to the system word list. See select-default-wordlist(8) for more information, and/or to change the currently-
chosen word list.
The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist. Such lists should be coded using the ISO
8859-1 character set encoding.
SEE ALSO
ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
HISTORY
The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.
The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words. For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not
exist.
AUTHOR
Word lists are collected and maintained by various authors. The Debian English word lists are built from the SCOWL (Spell- Checker Ori-
ented Word Lists) package, whose upstream editor is Kevin Atkinson <kevina@users.sourceforge.net>.
