OK, Arabic abbreviations are fine, but don't you think it would be better if 
we wait before we start putting it into our arabized programs? I mean, if a 
person doesn't know what that abbreviation is he/she will be lost and won't 
be able to use the application, may be we should start talking using these 
abbreviations before we put them in our programs, when a person hears an 
abbreviation that he/she doesn't know what it means he/she will ask about the 
meaning but it's not the same case when the person is using an application.

For now, what shall I translate CD? :D
