Why don't we just use the English Abbreviations? It's more common and
all people know them, we don't have to reinvent the wheel...

Plus, I don't see anything wrong in using the English abbreviations...
Oh, about your example, I'm one of the people who don't know what that
abbreviation means.

I know you want the applications to be 100% Arabic but you just can't
do it, people are used to the English terms, we can't just change all
Arabs, if I could change anything in them I would choose something
else rather than change their view about this :P
