Re In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.

Greetings,

I'm trying to translate this proverb literally into Arabic. Please can you help?

It might be used as follows: amongst a gathering of people who have only finished primary school, someone who studied at secondary school for two or three years and then left would excel.

All the best,

Simon
