Salam Anas, Thanks for volunteering!
OK, I will put an outline of what needs to be done here: 1) Pull the files of Firefox 3.1 and Thunderbird 3 from Mozilla's repository: http://developer.mozilla.org/En/L10n_on_Mercurial 2) Convert the files to .po format, and merge with the existing translation. This can be done using the translate toolkit: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/moz2po Firefox 3.0 translation can be obtained using: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/l10n checkout l10n/ar I will send you the latest Thunderbird translation in private. (Khaled Hosny sent it to me. I'm not sure if it's in sync with CVS.) 3) Upload the files to Arabeyes CVS and coordinate the translation effort. I see that you already have CVS access, so this shouldn't be a problem. The process may seem a bit complicated now, but once you figure it out, it should be straightforward. I will try to help you, so if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. :) -Ayman 2008/9/23 Anas Husseini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Salam, > > I can apply if there is no objection. > > - Anas > > On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 11:22 PM, Ayman Hourieh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> Firefox 3.1 and Thunderbird 3 releases are getting close.
