[Kde-i18n-fa] groupware, spam, ham and bug

[Shahram Emadi]

First, I need to thank all the people who sent me an
email.  I am overwhelmed.  Thanks.  Also, I will be
more careful about subject matter of the discussion
thread ;-).

But for finding rigth translations, I think it can not
be done in the way of "Farsi Ra Pass Bedarim", and
call a helicopter a BALGARD.

What is Spam? It is low quality pork meat.  The word
became famous because of a movie song (Monty Python
Flying Circuse). There it meant too much and too
anoying. Now days it means net abuse. Now, for Farsi
we do not have these concepts or even the needed
concepts to build on top.  Spam is an evolved entity,
with a very uniq place of its own.

I think, for many of the English word we have no way
but to leave them at that.  As another example, think
about the word "Okay" which is used almost by anybody
with a more than six years of education.  Why, cause
we do not have the equivalent concept in Farsi.  The
concept itself has migrated through the use of this
word and now it is localized.

So, my suggestion is to write most English words in
Farsi Alphabet, and keep the UI consistant, so the
user does not need to read in a mixed mode of LTR and
RTL. 

I think even French or Germans are not capable to find
a word for spam.

Now, we can discuss many such words, but I think if
you know the word bug, you are more prepared in your
life for using a debugger.  And if you know spam, you
have a better chance to research its meaning.

Of course it would be nice to have clear explantions
added.
