Sorry Nabil for the long delay in replying to you. I believe Isam Bayazidi had already started (not sure of status though) on Arabizing the interface to the above noted project. I'm not certain either if you meant you wanted to Arabize the interface or wanted to Arabize the various games and give 'em a different look-n-feel or theme (which from what I understand is also very much needed). > I started a while ago translating Gcompris po file > (there is one po) to arabic and I have done about 60% > of it (about 300 strings of a total of 560 strings).

I highly encourage you to continue (educational software and esp. children's package are a much needed necessity). If you are serious about pursuing this we can also start a prim-n-proper project on Arabeyes (the process to apply for a new project is rather minimal given a clear goal and a high commitment level). Do please reply back to the 'doc' mailing-list [1] (make sure to subscribe if you haven't already) as I'm sure others would be interested in helping and/or voicing their opinions.
