[Koha-translate] Translating Arabic OPAC 3.6 is complete , what about 3.8 ?

[Karam Qubsi]

Thanks Frédéric

so the problem will be solved isn't it ? i mean when you update the
files from 3.6 to 3.8 ?

and about working in 3.6 you advice us to stop working until it
updated to the  3.8 project or not ?
to move all our work to there ?

ok i understand there is differences between the koha versions but i
think the new strings is just what we have to translate and the
differences so we don't have to translate every thing ?


thanks for your great helps
have a happy vacation
we're waiting for you :)
