I've got to give them both a test, and if I don't like them, I'll write my
own tools.  :-)

I suppose I'll receive a list of such words with the approved translations,
isn't it?  I personally have a low opinion about most of those "translated"
words that the Persian Academy has assigned (I'll *never* call computers
"Raayaaneh"!) but some of them sound meaningful, and anyway I'm not here to
enforce my personal preferences, but to help!

Fine - although I'd prefer to start right away, since the occasions in which
I have spare time are pretty scarce, and I'd like to use them well.

I did.  Hmm, the list doesn't seem to want to attract many people, does it?
I had to type the URL by hand, and if it were not because of my personal
experience with Mailman, I would have never found its subscription page!
Maybe you'd like to make the list more visible...
