After we make sure there is no usefull translation other than the name.

You mean we keep it in the bad_words.po for the time being?

Good. I'm starting from A->Z then but other than what you mentioned,
I'd also like to add:
* Words found in Al-Mawrid, that are not included in the list, to be
added to the list (I'll pay for the book/cd of Mawrid, don't worry! :))
* Some words are translated, though they are not valid, at least
according to the search in onelook.com, and I wonder how could we
find similar words to remove them. I've face many of these, just can't
remember now. Mostly, they are combined words.
Maybe you want to keep this for round-3, so I don't mind.
Also, please make sure that the dictionaries for the dictd server we
have is updated.
