Dear Mike and Mahyar
I could finally manage to use POEdit for translating Mailman.PO file.
I translated 50 phrases of the file and saved them successfully, but
since I am not sure whether or not I am doing the job correctly, I
thought it would be better to ask for your confirmation before
continuing. Attached please find the sample file and also consider the
following notes:
1- Mahyar has already translated 300 phrases of version 2.1.14, but
since I didn't know how to merge them with version 2.1.15, I ignored
those translations and started from scratch from the template file
Mailman.POT.
2- Mahyar has given me Gnome Dictionary which contains 1300
recommended Farsi equivalents for particular phrases, but since it
will take about a year untill I can memorize all those recommended
phrases, I only reviewed them, but not necessarily used all the
recommended phrases. I basically relied on my own experience as a
translator with IT grounding.
Best Wishes

Hi
I am very glad that you are so enthusiastic about this and hope the
project will get somewhere.
1-I am going to merge the two po files and send it to you soon.
I suggest that you use this one, because finally I'll have to do the
proofread the translations and also merge it with previous proved works.
2- I also highly suggest that you use the dictionary, actually it's not
gnome dictionary but the gnome folks are using it same as guys in kde
and ubuntu translation teams. It is of high quality and it was produced
in "National Linux project" according the "culture and language academy"
suggestions. And it's almost accepted by the translators. You don't have
stick to it, sometimes when you feel the need you can use your own
equivalent but most of it's words are often the best choice.
You won't have to memorize it, you can just use it as a dictionary and
refer to it when you feel the need.
But believe me, it is your best friend in doing the job and saves you a
lot of time
Regards
3- I looked over your work, it's fascinating and you are doing good,
just be aware of the zwnj as you type, you should use it in appropriate
places instead of space.
Mahyar
