Hi roozbeh,

 I just started translating gnome-panel.

 I translated it's first 1600 lines, but before completing it, wann know
your idea.

 Please chek it for me and tell me:

  Is it acceptable for you?
  Should I continue?
  Do you submit it to SVN for me?

 Here is its link: http://417.ir/gnome-panel.HEAD.fa.po

 Also There is a little question:

 The page
at: http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/LocalisationGuide#head-74c781537477caa1e5d82f2725a6104b16f1a144 says that we should not translate frases like \"red\" in the text:

But I saw you where translating it, do you have any special purpose or
it is just a mistake?

I must translate these kind of messages?
