especially as our word 'coffee' is a bastardisation of the arabic.

lol Fantastic. It's comforting to know that wherever you are in the world, there will be a Starbucks just a camel ride away :D

They just transliterate (not translate) it using Arabic letters that spell out the sound "Starbucks Coffee." They do that with damn near anything. They don't translate "Star," "bucks" or even "coffee" and put them together to form the Arabic equivalent. I understand doing that with a word like "Starbucks" that has no real meaning in Arabic. I don't understand why they don't use the Arabic word for "coffee," though, which is "KaHwah."
