What does رعربيعربي mean?

The CIA website has three button at the top: Report Threats, رعربيعربي and Contact [1] Google translate for رعربيعربي gives Arabic arabic (or Rarabierba if you use the in-line one instead of the webpage one) Rarabierba gives nothing when put into google search and رعربيعربي returns only CIA-related pages. Is there a mistake in their spelling? Rmhermen (talk) 04:21, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Looks like a copy-paste error to me: the word عربي (Arabic) repeated twice. --2A02:C7D:8E27:300:F0EB:28AE:C0CF:E3CB (talk) 08:05, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Hovering the mouse over that button opened a small info box saying Iraqi Rewards Program. Wymspen (talk) 08:46, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

True, but رعربيعربي doesn't contain any of the words Iraqi or Rewards or Program. --217.140.96.140 (talk) 09:35, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Maybe pushing that button takes you to a page which does? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Pushing that button takes me to a page which doesn't contain رعربيعربي, or even the word عربي itself, anywhere in the text. There seems to be no relation whatsoever between the button's caption, and the link target. --217.140.96.140 (talk) 14:35, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

If they have a "contact us" option, maybe you could ask them directly? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:37, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
