I do agree that certain terms and names should be kept untranslated.
Looking at it as letters in arabic will not provide any information,
so I guess Munzir you are right in not provide "pronunciation
translation".

I agree with you. It is good to look at the others and try not to be off
the current localized effort. We still have to reserve the right to
discuss and validate any similar things in Windows or other products.

By default you only allowed 40K here. I get a request for action for
bigger files to approve. I looked at your attachamet and was like hmm
what should I do! I thought I should approve it and leave you a note,
but got too busy and forgot to do that. So yes, please for larg files
guys send it directly to the person who needs it.

P.S. I am sorry for not being so active here or on Resala Linux mailing
list .. it is just I have no time to breath! But I should organize my
time soon.  Munzir you are doing an outstanding work :)

Thanks
