The short answer is yes, this is correct. the long answer would require a
decision on translation guidelines and verb/noun forms used in audacity (an
oldish discussion that is probably arabic software translation specific)
and even more importantly the context those strings are used. the current
translation comes in one of the noun forms that is time independent
(present/past/future). anyway; I'll need to take a longer look on the
consistency of current translation.

I do want to do so, and I will try to do so in coordination with
individuals who are musicians or extensively use audio software on linux in
meetups I hope will happen (again) soon; where interface language is quite
crucial.
