[Fedora-trans-ar] a question regarding cvs commit

[Sarah Wang]

I had a look this morning, there is ar.po in specspo/ directory, and the
translation status is:
ar.po
1591 translated messages, 5 fuzzy translations, 1150 untranslated
messages.

cvs status -v ar.po

Adding new po files

What I would suggest is that you move your translated file somewhere
else, then do a fresh check out of the translate/ module, then overwrite
the current specspo/ar.po with your translated file. Please let me know
if it doesn't work.

Regards,
Sarah
