I wonder what would be the smartest way of building on (and feeding
back into) the existing Arabic translation work.  I guess the simplest
approach would be just to make a copy (fork) of Arabic on the
translation server and change the months.  But given the bulk of the
similarity one feels there must be a better way.  eg.  to focus solely
on the Arabic po and have a small patch script to generate the
Egyptian version?
