[Kde-i18n-fa] Announcement of Change in Language Name for Persian

[mahyar moqimi]

you are not the owner of this project as you are not the candidate for all
farsi speaking people to decide who an entity and who is not!!
there are people who have joined here to work not for but for their own
goals and with the goal of translating and localizing. the first thing they
understood was the name and they are cooperating to chose a good name,
exactly as there are transaltions you or your friends have done 6 or 7 years
ago or even 1000 years ago and they may be incorrect and funny and new
people may try to change them.
I appreciate your work but this does not mean that all you have done has
been correct.
don`t get angry. when we talk about something you have done wrong doesn`t
mean we are against your personality we are just against your opinion and we
appreciate you personality and works.
thanks a lot
