What we are now doing is translating tools that are made by RedHat/Fedora 
teams only for this specific distribution. RedHat/Fedora uses millions of 
other open source projects on their distribution. These programs translation 
files are on their relevant sites not here in our cvs. Think about KDE, 
GNOME, OpenOffice.org, ...

For some applications ther are already people working on them. What I am 
asking for is to help me figure those important project that no one is taking 
care of so we can help.

My scope is the normal arabic Joe ;) I mean that Muhammad Ahmed guy who use 
computers for everyday work. Muhammad Ahmed could be that young boy or girl 
in the kindergarten until he got old and wants to drag a chair and watch Omer 
Almukhtar video with kaffeine ;)

Yes, please. To help I am attaching my current list and hope you or any one 
familiar with the wiki to put a page there and help fill the gaps. We can 
then put priorities and begin working. What I want from you, if I may ask, is 
to concentrate on QA, review and putting guidelines and priorites. I want to 
save your efforts to things that only you can do. Though our translators are 
good they can't be like you who are familiar with open source projects. 
However, they would make your job much easier. We are not in a haste. Take 
your time but let's do something that would have an impact on next 
generations.

They say ladies first let me ask about your file. ?

"We didn't do it. Even if we did, these guys said we could, but we didn't. And 
even if we did, which we didn't, not only did these guys say we could (but we 
didn't), but these nobks did the same thing, so we should be allowed to do 
it. Which we didn't."
