Re: Arabic Firefox 2 Status

["Djihed Afifi" <djihedlists at googlemail dot com>]

Ayman, I downloaded and tested the test build. It's not too bad, but
it certainly needs lots of improvements. Especially the way it should
render access keys and some minor string changes. I'll compile a list
of bugs that need to be fixed, I have a shortlist that needs further
testing and background reading. Speaking of that, any old discussions
about arabic FF issues?

It's a step in the right direction, thank you for your dedication.

Also, Can we embark on building the firefox arabic website?
