Keith, It is important to consider the fact that the help project for Arabic is at 1% and since it isn’t required, why not release Arabic on the official release. I will explain.
Firstly, it will help if Arabic is available on the official release of OpenOffice as this will only attract more Arabic users to it, and the more, the better. There is a high chance that those users will spread the word and the project will receive more contributors that will help the ‘help’ project for the language to be contributed towards to. Also, it does not hurt to release Arabic on the official release, and with it released, users like myself can review and test the software in Arabic for any bugs, or translation errors too. Please consider this. Regards Ahmad Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 From: Keith N.

Though the help is not required to be translated to be included in a release it is much better if it is. The next step would be to work on translating the help. Regards Keith <snip>
