So you have the PO and POT files of the translation, right ?
OK, now if you open the PO files in ANY text editor that can do UTF-8 ( such 
as VIM with arabic support, Kate, TextPad for windows, etc.. ) you will see 
sequences of 'msgid' and 'msgstr' ..
the string that follows the 'msgid' is the original string that NOONE should 
change of play with .. after every 'msgid' there is an 'msgstr' and the 
string that follows it is where you should put your translation ..
I recommend anyone that checked out the PO and POT files to open any PO file 
( for example kdelibs.po ) to see how it is organized  .. and to know how it 
Will be done ..

About the questions that came lately without a responce .. I am sorry I was a 
little away lately, I had email probelms .. and I am back to help and support 
( that is why I sent my email in the first place) ..
