We had done 51% of mozilla strings and I had released a BETA version
of 0.2 before 2 weeks (check http://www.4-sms.com/users/mozilla/?action=news&ID=6
for packages links)

We translated 1000 new strings in this new BETA

This month I have a problem, no body translating with me !! I don't know
why (I have more than 40 registed user in the database but no one working
like the preview month), anyway I am translating ~20 (or more) strings
every day while I am browsing the net

BTW: if anyone want to help , please go to http://www.4-sms.com/users/mozilla/?action=helpus

and if anyone want to translate please register at http://www.4-sms.com/users/mozilla/?action=sign

1- I did write "How to help" page in http://www.4-sms.com/users/mozilla/?action=helpus
to make the visitors vote for the bugs

2- I am planing to open a new Arabic bugs (I hope if someone can open
them because I am so busy and my english is vary bad) . the bugs is :

   A. In Linux (Mac?) if you copy Arabic text you will got the text from
left to right ( Nadim  will be --> midaN)

   To workaround :
    i- Select the text you want to copy
    ii- Click the mouse right buttom and select "Selected source code"
    ix- No copy the text


  B. The default them is LTR, it must be RTL if the selected langauge
is RTL

3.I am planning to make some help pages in Arabic (e.g. How to setup
the proxy settings) , any idea ?

4.I am waitting for mozilla 1.5 to make Arabic binary package of it for
Windows and Linux (any help in Mac?)

I did release the first beta Arabic package but I didn't test it too
much

the problem I don't get any feedback from users !!

if you move your mouse to the download links (in mozilla.4-sms.com) you
will see how many one downloaded the pagcakge :

Mozilla 1.5b --> 336 time
Mozilla 1.4 --> 407 time
Mozilla 1.3 --> 83 time

Mozilla 1.5A (0.2Beta) --> 45 time
Mozilla 1.5b (0.2Beta) --> 56 time
Mozilla 1.4 (0.2Beta) --> 55 time
Mozilla 1.3 (0.2Beta) --> 37 time

FireBird 0.6.1 (0.1Beta) --> 59 time

as you can see, too many download but no feedback !!! (Only one from
a friend )

No right now I don't use CVS anymore because right now I am using a web
scripts (php) to translate mozilla (the mozilla strings is in MySQL)
, it make it easy for a group translate mozilla and it make me upgrade
the Arabic package to any new mozilla version in a minute
