Re: (FireBird) or (Al-Tair Al Nari) ?

["sattar izwaini" <sattar dot izwaini at student dot umist dot ac dot uk>]

I think it is a brand names, and thus it should be kept as is the 
case with brand names of systems, programs, and tools. At the 
same time, I would suggest to use noun+noun compound in Arabic 
rather than noun+ adjective in this case and in other similar cases. 
Arabic compounds with idaafah (mudaaf and muddaf ilayh) have 
more Arabic character than those with noun+adjective. Compare 
the Arabic usfoor al-naar which is a translation of a famous music 
'suite' by Stravinsky.
