You're right, I just meant that they have integerated KDE-Farsi into Mandrake 
local package (instead of a seperate package for KDE).

Yes, I live in Canada.
As I said my Farsi is not good enough for translating, especially since I 
don't know a single technical word in Farsi. If you read my articles I always 
used English names (maybe unfortunately, but IMO not).

I think you should send one on the Mandrake mailing lists instead. If I 
haven't confused it with KDE there is a mailing list for FA (or atleast Intl) 
or even better you can send one to a more general user mailing list.

I am trying to get people to use Linux and Mandrake is what I use for now.
