Product names, and abbriviations

[Isam Bayazidi <bayazidi at accessme dot com>]

Salam All ..
	Please refere back to :
http://www.arabeyes.org/papers/doc-standards/node14.html

There had been some discussion before about the "KDE" name, and the names of 
the applications, and what to use the Arabic Letters for, and what not to.. 
Now the Arabic Doc. Standards specify when to use Arabic letters, and when 
not to:
	1- In case of product names ( such as KDE, Kate, Gnome, Samba) we use the 
Arabic letters to note them in the translation ...

	2- In case of abbreviations and acromyms ( such as HTML, DSL, PDF) , they 
should be transcribed in their Latin form (using English characters), but 
their translated antonyms COULD be added between parenthesis for 
clarification. 

I hope that solves things out, and make everything clear .. Let's move on, 
and continue the great work that we ALL had been doing..
