  Hi. I'm new to the list.
  I'm working on Arabic translation of KDE, helping my group 
Arabeyes.org. I thoroughly read the KBabel Handbook, before working with 
KBabel and  miss around with it. The version I'm using is 0.9.6 which is 
the RedHat 7.3 RPM package, and I also downloaded and compiled and used 
version  1.1.
  The problem is that in both of these, I couldn't get to find
the Translation Dictionary option in Settings->Configure Dictionary.
I check to see if I have DB2 and it's there.

* My questions are:
1. What seems to be the problem?
2. How can I get to use/create the Translation Dictionary if I have a
.po file which is actiually the Arabic dictionary I'm using?
3. If the Translation Dictionary tools isn't used any more (although I 
found it still there in the Handbook), what is the best and fastest way 
to translate .pot and .po files? Using PO Auxiliary or PO Compendium?
4. If I should use PO Auxiliary or PO Compendium, how can I setup each?

I hope I can get the answer soon, and please don't tell me to RFM 
because I already did and still couldn't get it (I maybe not that smart, 
although I'm a teacher :))

thanks,
Ossama
