OK, I must explain...
You get the potfile by:
xgettext -a -d <textdomain> -n -o <inputfile>.pot -s <inputfile>
"pot" are the ORIGINAL templates (use it for NEW translations) and
they have following lines at the fist lines:
#, fuzzy
remove it, translate the file and save it as "ar.po"
Then you must compile it with
msgfmt -o <ar|....>.mo ar.po
put it into "/usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/" and your locale
is ready to use...

Right...
