The table on that page does show the specs for the AVA101. But the
table that Ole is asking about is this one that compares the AVA101
with a couple of LAK products and the PW6:

The column and row headers are in english, as are the units, but all
the numbers are in some other characters; perhaps some sort of Arabic?
(Yes, I know that Iranians consider themselves ethnically and
culturally separate from the Arab cultures in the area).

Here's a table with the Arabic-Indic numerals:

That should allow straightforward translation.

The units will be in Farsi if they are Iranian

AFAIK, the Persian and Arabic cultures are entirely different, same is
true for the languages. This is not something the "Iranians consider
themselves" but a historical fact.

Wikipedia has some good overview articles if you're interested:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language
