[sword-devel] How to get vowels in the Arabic bible module?

[John H.]

Peter,

All printed copies I have seen, I have noticed the vowels as well.

I just pointed to this one because it was easily accessible and
already had the vowels.  I was just wondering how to get a sword
module with the vowels, however possible:)
