Sorry, that I made this apparently not clear enough when I said in an 
earlier posting that all the tags (like Name=, Comment= etc.) must be 
"included with exactly the same spelling, upper/lower case etc." in 
your translation. This means they have to stay exactly the same as in 
the original, ie in _English_ and with Latin characters, not translated 
or transcribed.

Therefore, the above strings would have to be

msgid "Name=KDE-SGI"
msgstr "Name=KDE-SGI"

and

msgid "Comment=Text based debugger from GNU in a konsole"
msgstr "Comment=مزيل مشاكل GNU يعمل في وضعية سطر الأوامر"

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the KDE merge scripts to 
recognize and use these tags which are essential for the whole system.

For an attempt to correct the Arabic desktop.po please see
