Re: GNOME translations and more

@ Abdelmonam Kouka:

Welcome :)
The mechanisms will remain the same; Launchpad is not recommended, since (1) it's not the source of all projects & (2) there are people who are not used to it.
You mentioned that you have already participated before; this means that u already know how it works, and that u have read the translation guide earlier.

Abdilraheem Kintouni is the one in charge now; once the files are ready, he will upload them.

@ Everyone:
The school-free summer is coming [yippee!!], but for now, I still have 2 deal with those exams :s. Exams suck!! :(

Wa alaykom assalem,

I am ready to help in gnome translation, I worked for that before: http://wiki.arabeyes.org/%D8%AC%D9%86%D9%88%D9%85#.D8.A7.D9.84.D9.81.D8.B1.D9.8A.D9.82
at that time (more than 2 years) I get .po files to translate from brother Jihed Afifi, I translate them and than I send them to him to verify and upload them, are you always using the same mechanism or you use now an online tool like lauchpad translation tool (for ubuntu)?
