Hi!
My name is Abdulla.  I am maintaining the Arabic translation of a GPL 
accounting program.  It is called sql-ledger, and located at 
www.sql-ledger.com.  I am not a programmer but I would like to see if 
there is any way I can help.  The reason that I am subscribing is to 
warn you not to translate the whole KDE interface (malaf for file, 
etc..).  Most Arabic windows users that I know prefer to use the English 
version but with Arabic enabled.  They do this for the simple fact that 
Arabic is not really a computer language (I am sorry to say this but to 
me it seems to have some validity).  I think what we need in KDE is to 
enable koffice to work with Arabic.  Maybe an Arabic enabled icq and irc 
client would be nice too.  I know that this is a lot to ask for now, but 
it is what most Arabic users really need.  One problem that I faced 
during the translation of this sql-ledger was wether to use windows 
fonts, or ISO fonts.  I finally decided to use windows Cp fonts since 
that they are the dominant ones.  Thats all for now, and good luck.
