Gnome is a Graphical Environment for GNU/Linux operating system (and other *nix systems). It is one of the two most widely used and probably the most installed on default on Linux distributions, so getting it translated to Arabic is extremely important. Arabic is one of the most widely used languages, but, unfortunately, we often lag behind other Gnome Translation Teams, mainly because of lack of contributors. Many language teams, like French, Spanish and Portuguese are super fast at completing their translations, surely a beautiful language like Arabic deserves the best team :)

Status
Status: We have missed the recent 2.16 release, however, we are currently aiming to complete 2.16 at the end of the year, and get going with HEAD (the latest development version) and other subprojects. We should complete translation as soon as possible to get going with more work to support and spread a proper Arabic enabled Linux Operating system and give support to projects like One Laptop Per Child.
Please consider joining the Arabic translation team, it is a wonderful self-fulfilling experience. Djihed Afifi is currently the maintainer, please contact him at djihed@gmail.com or post a message to the doc mailing list (doc@arabeyes.org), we'll take you from there :)
Gnome applications that are not in the official gnome-2-16 are also to be translated. Click here for a short listing.
Get it
For now, you can get a gzipped tar ball of compiled translations from here. Extract it and copy the contents of the resulted dir to "/usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES" (or the appropriate path at your system), don't forget to backup it first.

Also, Gnome has a Localising GNOME Applications guide that is worth reading.
At any time, you will find helpful responses by asking at the doc mailing list, or ask the maintainer directly, so please don't despair if things seem confusing. It is also a very good idea to subscribe the doc mailing list.
