ReactOS is a free and open-sourced operating system based on the Windows NT architecture, it provides support for the applications that already exists, and an alternative to the current operating systems that dominates the market.

It is true that ReactOS current usage is mostly designed for programmers to expand and improve on. however, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to use it, and in its final state will be a consumer friendly Operating System. If you've used Windows before, you'll find yourself in a familiar environment with ReactOS.

This is my fourth contribution to the ReactOS project.

Since I did not spend a lot of time in this contribution in comparison to the one before, I think I got used to some types of syntax, and for sure I took into considerations the notes made by our LM as well.
The thing that disturbed me during this contribution is that I've found several technical words with the character '&' inside. and it was difficult for me to determine where to put it in the target language, either before, after or in the middle of the word

in this contribution, I encountered some new terms, most of them are technical, which led me to do some researches to understand the context of these words before commencing their translation. In this section I will try to explain a few:

PING

Ping is a basic Internet program that allows a user to verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests. It is used diagnostically to test if a host - the user is trying to reach - is actually operating.

TTL (Time To Live)

Time-to-live (TTL) is a value in an Internet Protocol (IP) packet that tells a network router whether or not the packet has been in the network too long and should be discarded. It limits the lifetime of data in a computer or network.

Peer-To-Peer (P2P)

A Peer-To-Peer network is a communications model in which each computing device on the network can function as either a server or a client. The devices use software to connect with each other over a private or a public network, this direct connection allows each device to share files, the device that supplies the file plays the role of the server and the device that requests the file plays the role of the client. The roles simply reverse when necessary.
