Hi Hosham,

please feel free to ask questions or ask for help how to start. People 
from this list are either translating the documentations (manual etc) 
and/or the QGIS desktop application theirselfes.

What do you want to translate yourself? The documentation OR the QGIS 
application itself? (I see that in QGIS application itself, arabic 2% is 
translated).

If it is the QGIS application: 'current' arabic translators were/are 
Assem Kamal and Latif Jalil.
Maybe Werner can get you in contact with them. To start, I think you 
should install Qt-Linguist on your computer and download the qgis_ar.ts 
file from here: https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/tree/master/i18n and 
load it in Linguist.

If it is the manual that you want to translate, please let us know. We 
are setting up a system to translate via a web interface in the browser, 
but it is also possible to do it off line (in a way we do with the 
Deskop application).

And again: don't hesitate to ask :-)

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
