Ive done a bit of work translating to the best of my crude ability -- some of the basics for the arabiv wikipedia -- if anyone can read Arabic and would like to proof, please do..
http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translated_for_system_functions
I think it will come along nicely --- there are some issues with links.. particularly if there are too many langalinks at top, there will be some overlap ... nothing worth explaining or dealing with yet... the place needs some basic electrical wiring before we can start looking for furtniture....
There is also the issue with Arabic that Unicode might not be able to keep up with its morphology... Ill report more later, but apparently Arabic -as rendered by unicode is not quite up to grade in terms of the rules for morphing letters depending on their placement -- the Unicode Unidate has a special patch that makes do with arabic, but wont quite accomodate some of the other more morphic scripts out there.. Ill have a full report later, but it helps to plan for the future, especially where the issue of the base-encoding for an entire pedia is concerned... Itll be an open issue ... whether Unicode is the direction most Arabic dev is going...
Anyway... enough for today...
-S-
p.s. -- what happened to any text that was leftover from the phase 1 ar.wiki?
