Help...
I seem to be following instructions to get my arabic language loaded into the Drupal site. This is a hosted site on SiteGuard and maybe I do not have the right access.

So far i have
Enabled Locale Module (check)
Enabled Arabic as the second language under Site Configuration (check)

Download the Arabic file from Drupal (the .tar file) (check)
Extracted all the .po files (check)

Unfortunately there is no single ar.po file. So i picked the modules-block.ar.po file (seemed like the one to use) and uploaded through the Translate Interface. Nothing really changes in the arabic version except the taxonomy menu item and the obvious rtl orientation. Do I need to import every single .po file in the arabic download. These files are embedded in a complex directory structure inside the .tar file.

I also imported the theme file theme-garland.ar.po. Now my interface says "64/212 (30.19%)" I assume this means that the are now 212 fields and only 64 have been translated.

I have no ideas where these files actually end up on the server.

Any guidance on this would be wonderful.
Thanks
steve

nevermind,
I figured it out...had to delete the language after loading the tar file and then reinitialize the arabic again for the importing to work.
