I'd appreciate if one of the existing translators answered this
question, since I'm not familiar with the workflow myself.

(Fixing "s/color/colour" for the en_GB translation really doesn't
count ;))


My personal suggestion would be to grab the gEDA code from git:

http://www.geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scm

git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git


Learn to build and install gEDA from source, then step into the various
"po" directories "libgeda/po, gschem/po and (trivially) gattrib/po", and
look at making the translations there in your checkout.

Since we don't ship Arabic translations at the moment, you will need to
"git add <path_to_file>" before they show up in "git diff" output.


Best wishes,

Peter C.
