Before I comment, please double check with Youssf to coordinate which file to translate.

I'm still working on it, but there are a few problems, here are some:
1. no unified translation for "selection", it's sometimes "اختيار", "تحديد"، انتقاء", and even "ضبط" (I find انتقاء & اختيار much better than the rest!). Which one should I use?

This one is hard :). I used to translate it as "انتقاء" "انتق" but I use it in the real real world I feel it is weird. Then I try to change it to "اختيار" اختر" . It is far better than "انتق". And yes you can use "اختر" for select and choose. Please see this:

2. what can I translate "Link Destination" to?
|
تلميحة
4. Should I use "يجري تنفيذ" or "جاري تنفيذ" for the -ing form? or should I use "تنفيذ"? (I prefer the first!)
|
what about "ينفذ" for example " downloading" ---> "ينزل". Simple and less words.
5. "Successfully copied" >> "تم النسخ بنجاح" or "نُسِخَ بنجاح"?? (I prefer the first!)
|
The second is better. It is more فصيح
This is the translation is for the last stable version, and I will use it as a translation memory for
the next version.
Please leave both versions of "Dolphin" for me. I will translate them!
The final work should be ready by tomorrow.
