Salam

I will not create 2 files (Arabic and English) this is very bad thing
because you need to update each of them for any changes

What I will do insh'a Allah is to strip all the english strings from
the php files and put them in "en.php" and then translate the english
strings and but them in "ar.php"

This way if someone goto http://www.arabeyes.org/projects.php he will
get the English page and if another one go to http://www.arabeyes.org/projects.php?lang=ar
he will get the Arabic page

This is the best way to translate the pages
