Before I comment, please double check with Youssf to coordinate which file

This one is hard :). I used to translate it as "انتقاء" "انتق"  but I use it
in the real real world I feel it is weird.  Then I try to change it to
"اختيار" اختر" . It is far better than "انتق". And yes you can use "اختر"
for select and choose. Please see this:

I'm not sure about the context. I think " اربط المقصد"  is good suggestion
if the "Link" is verb otherwise "رابط المقصد"

what about "ينفذ" for example " downloading" ---> "ينزل". Simple and less
words.

The second is better. It is more  فصيح

As I said please talk you Youssef before pick a file. Right now we work in
Summit(*)  which will take care about the stable and trunk branches in KDE
svn.
