واجهة برنامج تطبيقات (وبت)


Explanation:
I am suggesting the acronym وبت to stand for the full Arabic phrase واجهة برنامج تطبيقات. WORD, for example is an application program: in Arabic it is برنامج تطبيقات. Its interface consists of the various commands: in Arabic واجهة. Hence, I am suggesting واجهة برنامج تطبيقات.

الوصلة البينية البرمجية للتطبيق


Explanation:
API (Application Program Interface)
(Computers) interface which enables an application program to communicate with the operating system and other services provided by the operating system (also helps create similar user interfaces within computer programs).

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 1 hr (2007-10-29 11:11:26 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

According to my understanding of "interface" here is s link/way "وصلة بينية" that enables communication between 2 things. Accordingly, it is NOT an interface "واجهة" as used in "GUI". Rather, it is (وصلة).

disagree  Mohsin Alabdali: و ب ت لوحدها لا تكفي في الوقت الحاضر على الأقل حتى تصبح سارية في مجال صناعة البرمجيات ومعروفة عند الجميع مثل رام وروم. على أي حال شكرا على تفضلك بتبني المختصر الذي اقترحته آنفا

disagree  ahmadwadan.com: I agree with Mohsin. Generally speaking, Arabic acronyms are of no significance especially in this field.
