  While waiting for someone from WordPress (Hi Zé)) ) to setup a forum for us here, I will write my notes on Polyglots.
  
  Here are some rules I used:
  - “post” refers to articles not blogsposts or topics (مقالات وليس تدوينات أو مواضيع), translations used in other languages are (article, artigo, articulo…)
  - A “user” is indeed a user (مستخدم), not a member, furthermore, using member in arabic is a common mistake, I read it years ago in an article written by a linguist but I can’t find in now (will post it if I find it), anyways… Member in arabic has only one meaning (hand, leg, etc…), “Members of the committee” are رجال اللجنة…
  - “Please”, should always be translated the same way (المرجو) and not a random usage of يرجى and رجاء and المرجو.
  - “Spam” is سخام. See WikiPedia, using “Troublesome Comments” limits the usage of the word to comments while the word itself – i.e spam – has a general meaning
  - Removed explanations added to translations, a translation is a translation
  - Changed phrases with weak arabic constructs and grammatical errors (إعراب المفعول به والمثنى والجمع). Also, arabic sentences should have the verb first.
  There were also some minor correction of ponctuation:
  - Ellipsis in arabic sticks to the words around it
  - No spaces between dashes/brackets and the text enclosed.
  - “›” shoud stay as is, it’s inverted by the browser when the page has dir=”rtl”; the same rule apply to many other characters.
  Finally, I apologize if you find some repeated stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings., I’m learning the interface.

    Just a note: it’s probably a better idea to create your own P2p2 "p2" is the name of the theme that blogs at make.wordpress.org use (and o2 is the accompanying plugin). When asked to post something "on the p2" by a member of the Polyglots team, that usually means you're asked to post on the team blog https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/. to discuss these issues, as they relate exclusively to the Arabic-speaking community. (you could open one in 30 seconds on WordPress.com, for instance). Other languages are doing it and it seems to be working pretty well.

  Thanks Zé
  
  Rasheed, will you please create and manage the P2p2 "p2" is the name of the theme that blogs at make.wordpress.org use (and o2 is the accompanying plugin). When asked to post something "on the p2" by a member of the Polyglots team, that usually means you're asked to post on the team blog https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/. for us.

    Great , but for now can you create a topic in

    Since some of your suggestions need every one opinion .

    Nabil, P2p2 "p2" is the name of the theme that blogs at make.wordpress.org use (and o2 is the accompanying plugin). When asked to post something "on the p2" by a member of the Polyglots team, that usually means you're asked to post on the team blog https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/. is hosted at ar.wordpress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. https://wordpress.com/ not at ar.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/, that means anyone can create it.
    The problem with P2 it does not support RTL and it has inappropriate fontד family (For Arabic we need Tahoma). In addition, we do not have access to edit the theme. These limitations will make it difficult for us to conduct a fruitful discussion. So I suggest to have the discussion here as Nashwan suggested:

      Thank you for clarifying things, I’m already a member of your website, but pardon me, I won’t use it for storing any important content, there is not enough protection for user contributed content there.

      For the record, P2p2 "p2" is the name of the theme that blogs at make.wordpress.org use (and o2 is the accompanying plugin). When asked to post something "on the p2" by a member of the Polyglots team, that usually means you're asked to post on the team blog https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/. has full RTL support, a few translations missing (e.g., “Recent Update”), but yeah, the font is a bit small.

Great Nabil , but WordPress is still Alpha for now , many stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. can be removed or added I think we should wait for BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 1 at least to focus on the new WordPress translations ..

Could we focus on bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org. and BuddyPress for now , since the final versions will be published soon .

  Some translations I corrected are there since 2010, maybe you could validate the shorter stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. at least so we get rid of them from the interface.
  
  Sorry, I don’t use BuddyPress my suggestions for it will probably be off-topic.
  
  I already started with bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org. as you requested but I see that my suggestions aren’t reviewed, it would be easier for me if you reviewed them before I continue adding new ones, I mean I will take your reviews and Rasheed’s into consideration and avoid using words that have been rejected.
