> binary is dodoyi. I think dodoyi is also familiar I don't want to repeated, what I've said before. but don't translating familiar words make the user get use to our product more easily. Another thing ,we should consider that farsi kde users have two hard task in front of them. first get familiar with linux and new OS then get familiar with our translation. If Bill Gates would want to translate windows he has less problems than our!! (I was wondering why sun have not fallen into earth by now) please think a little about the poor users. this is another reason we should find a linguist as soon as possible. I will try to find Mr kaboli this week. and Dr Boteny is the a second alternative. does anyone know who is the Mr kaboli's publisher? please do not name Adine, we need something alive. > > > printcap: chaap_kolaah چاپکلاه > > > > By the way what is printcap.

Longman dictionary of contemporary English has defined Directive to "an official order or instruction: the management has issued a new directive about the use of company cars". the problem is that there is any important difference between order and directive and should we define them in our translation? Or both should translated to dastoor. thanks platoali _______________________________________________ Kde-i18n-fa mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-i18n-fa
