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 fourth contribution to the FreeCAD open source project.
• After a long absence, here we go again with a fresh start. it wasn't the utopian low vote or the vacations that pushed us to stop contributing. in fact, we are more active during the vacations and the reason for this small break is because we were celebrating Eid al-Adha (which is the biggest holiday celebrated throughout the islamic nation).
• Anyway, it was a little bit challenging to get back on track again with the frequency of translation, and that's what took me so long to make this contribution especially that i have reached a changing point when it comes to the difficulty of this project (That's right Mr.moderator it is not low anymore, no just kidding 😂 it's all yours).

In this session:

• The files concerned with the translation in this contribution are multiple, i have found myself switching between them a lot to avoid any kind of wrongdoing.
• In fact, i wasn't very satisfied with some translations in this contribution and so i took the decision to delete them and keep them until i get more familiar with the software.
• The next parts are going to require more dedication from my side. and i hope that i'm gonna be able to finish this project and help publishing this translation. because one thing i had noticed while browsing the software is that it contains some languages that i had never heard about and it is a shame that Arabic is not listed there.

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.

Word count:

• Total words count: 31 770 words.
• Total words translated in this part: 956 words.
• Number of untranslated words in this part: 83 words.
• Number of duplicated words ≈ 69 words.
• Time frame: from august 20 to august 27 : Proof .
• Final count: 873 words.

Credits :

• A big hug for the @utopian-io and @davinci.witness teams for making this kind of contributions comes to light.
• A big thanks to the Arabic team for their continuous support and assistance.
• utopian-io was standing for us all the times and now it is time that we stand for him as he is suffering from low delegations, so voting for him as a witness would be much appreciated: Vote for Utopian Witness! .
