I vote no with Massoud. Koha is all about sharing, isn't it. Why erecting a
new tower of Babel?

I don't know if we have a procedure to grant or not this.

Normally I add a language upon request, without much questioning.

Unless of course we have an equivalent language, as is the case.

I asked privately Mr. Mahmoud Bekhit about this. After a couple of emails

the conclusion was that there are errors on current Arabic translation that

prevented him to use Koha, that's the reason of his request.

I verified this on Koha 3.20.5, for example search is broken in opac.

( check http://translate.koha-community.org/ar/3.20/translate/ar-Arab-opac-bootstrap.po#unit=13167462 )

For now I will not add ar-Arab-EG, but kindly request our Arabic speakers

that they take a look at current translation and fix any errors.

I will be glad to help on anything needed.

Best regards
