Hi Asaf,
this is great! Do you can provide an download link, I'm curious about the result?
I do not know if you have include pictures in the dump, but if yes you can reduce the ZIM file size by 10-20% by using the ./optimizeContents.pl script and the --mediawikiOptim paramter.
If you achieve to do what you said, this would be wonderful, and certainly the first big deployement of the ZIM format.
About the Kiwix UI translation, this would be also great and pretty easy to do. I'm especialy interesting in it, because Hebrew would be the first translation of Kiwix with a language written from right to left. If you have time you can simply come to #kiwix on freenode and I will explain you how to do and give you the SVN access to upload translated files.
Congratulations
Emmanuel
