If this is so, why don't you make up your own word and we follow.
As the exact meaning of the word "profile" will not help you at all as 
you can see. Could help but that might be more confusing for the readers:
in these 2 cases that word "خصائص" works with it VERY well. But I think 
we do use
that word to translate "Properties" as well, right ?
So either you use the word that serve the meaning and gives the user an 
idea about what is this item for or come up with a new word and I think 
that would need someone who is more specialized than us I mean in the 
languages since. Just try to be easy on yourself.
Same goes also for your question about "volume".
