KDE 3 BETA 2 ..

[Isam Bayazidi <bayazidi at arabeyes dot org>]

Salam ..
	I spend the whole night yesterday downloading KDE 3 BETA 2 packages .. it 
was around 85 MB, it took me around 5 hours in my dialup :-)
	Any how it seems that there is a little probelm with the kde-i18n-ar package 
that make Arabic translation not uasable .. the probelm is related to 
Pluralforms, it seems that the KDE 3 BETA 2 was TAGed on a revision that was 
middle way in migrating to the new PluralForm 'Arabic' .. any how fixing it 
is really easy .. you have 2 ways :
1) checkout the latest translate/kde/kdelibs.po .. then compile it like 
follows :
# msgfmt -o kdelibs.mo kdelibs.po
Then copy it to the $KDEDIR/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES .. in my machine it 
is as follows:
/opt/kde3/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/
or it could be :
/usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/
in some other distrobutions ..

Any how I advise KDE 3 Users to grab the Daily Snapshot tarball for the 
Arabic translation and compile it and use it .. that is the best way to get 
the latest changes all the time :
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/CVS/snapshots/current/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-ar.tar.bz2

Please If you find and BROKEN TRANSLATION report it here or even better fix 
it your self :-)

if you find any RTL ( Right to Left) probelms or bugs make sure to report 
them to http://bugs.kde.org .. if we report all the bugs that we find, KDE 3 
will come out being a better Environment for the Arab ..

Later, and keep the Grear work
