Re: [linuxiran] farsi linux site

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Mr Roozbeh Pournader from the FarsiWeb project at Sharif 
University of Technology has provided his word list and around 
3000 translated messages of kde-base to Mr Arash Zeini long time 
ago, which Arash Zeini has wrote that he has used around 25% of 
the messages.

BTW, RedHat 9 has GNOME translations from Roozbeh Pournader too.
