this may sounds to you like a crazy one talking......buuuuuut
we can deal with the current problem which is the delay in Sync the translated files ...scince Mr. Issam is not free for the project at the moment...why don't we get a free web space and sync the currently translated files untill he is back and then we copy our progress to the arabeyes website
i've attached desktop_kdeartwork.po which i've made a progress in translating it...this is my....64 strings remained untranslated yet...they are all of strange names maybe spanish.....donno
but i've done my best in it and the reamining two files will be on the website soon

Surely the matter is not as easy as this if you care to do a useful
translation that won't be thrown at the time it completes. You need the
people here to tell you how to checkout the 'hidden' branch and do a sync
before this. The files that you can see in Arabeyes.org status page and cvs
web interface doesn't reflect the latest branch but an old one (3.2) that
should be freezed by now. If you care to compare it with the original KDE
repository, you will find even the number of the strings is now different.

Many files in arabeyes KDE cvs is not sync'ed yet
(for some months now). Other files are .pot in KDE repository which we have
translated 100% waiting for arabeyes gentle hands to upload it. If Isam is
busy, arabeyes should do this until he comes back or why then we need
arabeyes to take KDE translation responsibility?! To complicate things?!

I am not blaming any one here. Every one has his own
priorities but to say that KDE translation is lacking behind while arabeyes
hosting its translation exclusively and don't have time to do a sync is not
fair at all. I only care about this project because I have done a serious
effort before and was willing to do more but nothing is encouraging. BTW, I
sent some messages regarding this topic before here and no one even cared to
respond.

And pray you have a better luck than mine.
