To justify my previous answers. Arabeyes translation work is committed (send) 
to the mothership projects, to KDE SVN, Gnome CVS ... which are the official 
code repository of these projects. All distros build their packages from 
these official sources, so any work we do is automatically included in all 
possible distros.
