Re: Arabic Dictionary - full_wordlist.po

[Ossama Khayaat <ossamak at nht dot com dot kw>]

Assalamou Alaikom,
I just wanted to tell you all that we're fine in Kuwait, Alhamdo Lillah, and
I'm having a vacation now because of the current situation. I don't have a
connection at home and even if I do, I just can't have much concentration to
work on the dictionary.
Sorry for that, and I hope it gets better soon.

Ossama
