I would have hoped that someone would have replied (I was out of commission
back then ;-). Let's remedy this issue - more below.

Cool, is this part of a larger package ? We need to think about how to
populate our directories and it would be nice not to have 100s of small
packages (or single files) splattered about. We also need to kinda know
how often these files change. In other words, how active are those various
projects - for if they aren't active we don't need to house 'em locally.

I don't see why not - but I'm not the only decision maker here. I'd like
to know more about the format these files are in and whether it would be
possible to convert those files into .pot/.po files. As has been noted
many times in the not too distant past, we'd like to stick to a single
popular format on _all_ our files in order not to force people to learn
and re-learn processes and techniques and since the GNU gettext files
are the defacto "standard" used for such things we ought to proceed with
'em.
Do you have CVS write access on Arabeyes (if not, do please follow the
directions noted in our docs and mail me in private your encrypted
password) ? Are you interested in contributing to any existing projects
(gnome/KDE/...) - the reason I ask is that we are in dire need of
coordinators (read "owners") for those projects due to their important
and wide circulation.
Salam and keep up the great work.
