OK, here we come to the important part:
1-You have to have a CVS account, you can get one by
E-Mailing contact at arabeyes dot org asking to have a CVS
account, they'll guide you through the steps

2- Checkout the files from the CVS repository

3- You'll notice that there are files ending in .pot &
each file has a .po file equivelant to it, the pot
file is a template so *NEVER* touch it, all the
translation is in .po files, if there is no .po file
equivelant to a certain .pot file then you've to
create a .po equivelant file.

4- In each file you'll have lines starting with msgid
"blah blah blah", this is in English, the next line
you'll see a line like this: msgstr ""
All what you have to do is to translate the words in
msgid line to Arabic in the msgstr line in *THE SAME
FORMAT*, For Example a normal message would be like
that:
msgid "Hello"
msgstr "ãÑÍÈÇ"

And if the message is more complicated you have to do
it like that:
msgid ""
"Hello & Welcome to KDE.\n"
msgstr ""
"ÃåáÇ æ ãÑÍÈÇ Èßã Ýí KDE.\n"
