The Arabic technical dictionary aims to translate and standardise technical terms that are used in software translation. It is an effort to unify the terms used across all projects and to present the user with consistant and understandable interfaces.
It is highly recommended that you contribute even if you do not have high bilingual or technical skills. We mainly translate for non technical people, so your opinion as feedback is highly valued.
Native english speakers are also welcome: you can explain the origin of the word and rule out unsuitable equivalents that don't convey the right meaning.

Suggestions and discussion
- Every term has two pages, the first is the main page (e.g. techdict:Abort) and the second is the discussion page (e.g. techdict talk:Abort).
- To suggest a translation for some term, click on the icon
in the discussion page and write your suggestions in the suggestions section. You can vote by using the 
icon and stress your refusal to a translation with another icon, but this is discouraged.
- Use the discussion page to discuss the suggested terms and justify your choices. You can add your signature from the editor toolbox.
- When the voting leads to a clear agreement on some term, it is possible to change the main page as follows:
|الاسم = مصطلح
There are some pages that unfortunately do not follow this norm. You are welcome to change the typos that you may come across.
