Not sure what you mena with the software modules you are working with.
Please explain.

Guessing you mean QGIS: if you use Linguist to translate, you can make
from the .ts file a .qm file. The qm file is the format that the QGIS
program is actually using to change the strings in the program.

Load the ts file in Linguist and then via menu File and then Release you
will be asked where to save it. You have to find out where QGIS loads
the qm files from (on Linux they are in your install folder, and then
share/qgis/i18n folder). On windows search for qgis_ar.qm, it should be
somewhere in your QGIS install.
If you just copy your release (=qgis_ar.qm file) over the file that is
there and open QGIS again, it will open YOUR qm file.

I'm not aware of others doing arabic translation. Werner do you know?

Yes it is already in Github. I'm not sure if they show up in the
nightlies though, because we do not run the scripts every day to compile
the .ts file to .qm files in the master repo.

HTH. If not, just ask again :-)
