The Kword pic was nothing extraordinary, I had seen Kword running on Mac 
OS X before, and although it's beta, it seems usable. But the second 
screenshot is really interesting for me, because it doesn't show just 
Konqueror, but also Safari, complete with Farsi menu. I know that 
Safari (Mac OS X new browser) is using khtml as it's engine, but it's 
interface and GUI is completely different from Konqueror as you can 
see. So how come it is also translated to Farsi? I know that we haven't 
done the translation, so someone should have translated Safari to 
Farsi. Who?

I am really dumb-fonded. How come safari is in Farsi? 

If you really think about it from my point of view, by translating KDE 
to Farsi, we havent' just created a Farsi environment for Linux, but 
also for nearly every Unix. Inclusing OS X. Now all "other" operating 
systems have better Farsi support than Windows!!! Truly interesting.

The downside of this screenshot? That the Qt widgets aren't really 
polished. Compare Kword with Safari, Qt widgets just look foreign, 
although it's running natively. TrollTech should really update Qt for 
Mac soon, because currently Qt applications don't look like Mac 
applications at all. And experience has shown that Mac users are very 
sensitive about user interface, an application which doesn't look like 
the rest of the platform, and has a foreign look, never becomes popular 
among Mac users.

PS: Arash I think you should add these screenshots to the screenshot 
section of farsikde.org They may be interesting for many (remember that 
still there are far more Mac users than Linux users).

Cheers
