Re: Can you check this file?

[Isam Bayazidi <bayazidi at arabeyes dot org>]

Hello Jay, 
  Attached is a modified version of Arabic.pm file, there had been 3-4 typos, 
and only the abbreviated days, so I moved the abbreviated days to 
@DayAbbreviations and made @DayNames indicate the full day names. 
Please, if I may ask, Change the Credit (Thanks) to Arabeyes Translation Team, 
we are all members in that team, and we all participated on the KDE 
translation. Please use the email ( contact at Arabeyes.org) to refere to the 
group. 

For future Arabic translation help, you can send to doc at arabeyes.org, that 
mailing list include the translators that are working on several translation 
projects, and you will find them helpful and responsive. 

I hope that this helped, and please feel free to refere to Arabeyes for any 
Arabic Language related issues.

Yours
Isam Bayazidi
