I have built a customized version of Kubuntu 6.06 with Arabic packages pre-installed and Arabic is the default language.
The target is to build a Kubuntu-based distro focusing on Arabic Language. I suggest to be named "Kubuntu, Arabic Edition".
You can find a few screenshots here:
The Arabic support in Linux needs a lot of work in term of translation, fonts, documentation and artwork. Startup GUI needs some work to get arabic text to be rendered well.
This is only 1 hr work, and is not perfect by any mean. I suggest we build a team and to start a independent site for this project.
Nice
very good effort. keep going and best luck . I think it's a good step . Since most of the new users are using Ubuntu / Kbuntu and it will be nice for to have them in arabic interface.
peace
