السلام عليكم

Thanks for respecting the measures :).

You can see the list of translatable files here 
http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/stable/ar/index.php and here 
http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk/ar/index.php . Once you make a choice and 
pick a "PO file", you will have to communicate your choice to the maintainer 
(me). After translating the chosen file, send it to my email, I will then 
commit it to KDE SVN. (incha'allah).

Welcome aboard, and don't get frightened by the large number of untranslated 
and badly translated files, Gnome was a similar case and reached 100% quickly 
after :). Keep in mind that it is very worthy to translate open source 
applications to Arabic, as this is a first step to establish an Arabic IT 
identity and make computer technology reach a wider audience.
