Can you please define the horrible feel of M$ Arabized software ?!
I think that using the Arabic letters as much as it is aplicable is to be 
followed .. writing the word KDE in Arabic letters does not impose any 
trademark issues, and infact when you write the name KDE without changing it 
that won't be an issue of changing the name .. We did not change the name of 
KDE, we just spelled it in Arabic letters !

Anyhow, there is paper in the Arabeyes Resouces section here:
http://www.arabeyes.org/papers/doc-standards/

This document sets a guideline for translation and documentation .. please 
have a look at it, it did address this issue ..
