Sherif wants to say that legally it's illegal to transliterate. I am not a
lawyer and copyright, trademarks, patent issues drives me mad but I tend to
agree with him for this reason and another one which I will tell you about
when you translate Kcalc for me (WARNING: I am trying to trap you so be
careful ;))
umm
I am in trap :))
Well, kcalc has many appreviations, (K; calc), so like I said in my reply, we
can't translate appreviations.
:))
We want to hear from the rest of this list subscribers.
The above question is for those who wants to say فيدورا instead of Fedora
ONLY ;)
