Here's your chance :-). You had previously asked to work on KDE, but
that project is not ready at the moment for work. Let me make a

working on it to be as exciting as any translation project. The
maintainer Mr. Ossama Khayat really needs a few more translators on
his team.

Hmmm, I dont know how this applies. Can you type in kbabel? Thats all
what really matters. Mandrake 10.1 has more than excellent Arabic
support.

I hope to hear from you soon so we can get you started on some work.
