Salam Ahmad,

Thanks for the commit ! I have added you to the list of contributors:

   http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=Mandrake

Here are a few comments:

The modifications you did to the file are here:
http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/translate/mandrake/xmms.po.diff?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
The modifications I did post your translation are here:
http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/translate/mandrake/xmms.po.diff?r1=1.7&r2=1.4

(I recommend you read _thouroughly_ the Translator Guide, since most of the 
things I'll say are there...)

1/ Did you use KBabel to translate ? In any case, make sure you put the 
correct info there (name, email, language list etc). Make sure you write the 
last translator name in the header if his/her names is not there already. 
(general advice, don't use linux as a root user ;-)

2/ Keep the original punctuation (see that CDDB msgid).

3/ These have not been decided by the QAC yet, bu meanwhile I prefer (at least 
in Mandrake) that you use the Shadda when needed and put foreign names in 
Latin chars between brackets, beside the transliterated names.

4/ _Try_ to translate _everything_. For example, you have to translate the 
copyright notice too and not simply copy it as is. If there are strings you 
can't or don't want to translate, simply leave them untranslated (btw, I 
don't understand what you mean by 'i didnt do them all ofcourse' in the CVS 
log... The file is 100% 'translated' :-).

That's it ! There are a few other comments and maybe I missed other things, 
but since reviewing has not started yet, it's OK.

So, your next mission, if you accept it, is translate/mandrake/drakfax.po :-) 
Is it OK ?

Salam,

PS: It's seems that the tool you used to translate (again, was it KBabel ?) 
has uncommented a bunch of obsolete strings.. (those that are preceded with 
'~'). I don't know why. They will be anyway made obsolete again with the 
future sync, but I'd like to understand ;)
