Project Details:

• FreeCAD is like a swiss Army knife when it comes to engineering toolkits. Thanks to its open source nature it can be used by anyone to create product designs, mechanical engineering and architecture objects.
• A variety of its features are used today by a wide range of students and teachers. It is capable of delivering 3D real-life objects taking advantage from the parametric modeling feature which can be used to easily modify a design with the possibility to go back in history and change some of its parameters.
• Unlike its direct competitor on the market: AutoCAD, which has an annual subscription of more than a 1000$ which is impossible for normal students in my country to pay. FreeCAD can come to the rescue by providing a complete engineering toolkit for free.
• So, from now on it will be my life mission to provide a proper and accurate translation of this wonderful gift.

Contribution Specifications:

• This is my first contribution to the FreeCAD open source project.
• In this session i had started with the Arch.ts file which contains some technicals terminology for creating and designing 2D and 3D parts and some compatibility and preferences settings.
• The process of translating this project into Arabic is a little bit tricky. although, the sentences related to the engineering field may appear easy to translate but the thing is that generally engineering students are not quite familiar with this terms in our native language because generally the educational system in the arabic word is either in french or in english. however, we want badly to change that even with a small contribution 😇.

Languages:

• The FreeCAD project is written in a professional english related to the engineering field. my task during this period is to provide an Arabic translation and i'm capable of that simply because i'm an Arabic native speaker.
