(Completion of translation into Arabic language by 93% (GnuCash 2.6.9

[عبد الرحمان أيمن]

hi,

believe me, there is a lot of mistakes that can make the program quite hard
to use and understand, some of 'em are on the main interface, most of 'em
are mistakes in the Arabic sentence structure itself, could be automated
translation, (to be honest, also happens when the translator wasn't paying
enough attention or was tired), although (as i said) some terms are very
impressive!

there is nothing wrong in waiting a bit until the translation is
sufficient, otherwise you will lose your impact, as i stated, i can
corporate with him, but I'm quite busy.

for the record, i admire his (their) work, apparently he (they) asked for
help in a lot of linux forums, and did a lot of awesome effort, but i would
rather to refuse the file, explaining the situation to him (i can call him,
i have his number)
if you wanna override me that's fine, but I'm letting you know that there
is a better way to handle this.

let my know what do you think.

respectfully
