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

[Arash Partow]

Hi Shahram,

The points you have made have been exhausted infinity-1 times, 
and to date I don't think anyone has been able to conclude a 
deterministic way of translating English IT terminology into 
"PERSIAN" (seeing as though we are speaking English). I think 
the Farsi-KDE ML is being archived here: 
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-i18n-fa/ 
so have browse through them....


Regards


Arash
