Great. If you just tell me whenever you update the file, I'll also
submit the updated version to Qt.

Assistant, designer and linguist are just if you would want to run these
applications in arabic. As the Qt docs are not translated anyway (and
probably never will be), these actually do not make too much sense. The
tutorial neither. The only ones that would make sense in my opinion are
mywidget_xx.ts and demo_xx.ts. Both are in the examples and can be used
to show people the level of arabic support Qt has. The demo example is
especially nice as I use it a lot for internal testing.

As I said, these two would be nice. No need to hurry at all though. We
didn't have them for a long time, so it doesn't matter if they come in
a bit earlier or later.

I can add something to the credits section
(http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/credits.html). Please feel free to add a
comment to the .ts file aswell. I can also add a README to
QTDIR/translations stating the origin of the translations. Just tell me
whom/what exactly I should mention.

We currently do not have a lot of translations, so there is no special
web page dedicated to translation teams I could use.

I will do. Thanks a lot,
