Attached preliminary patch that adds Al Misbar translation to SM 1.4
translate plugin. You need to use post 1.4rc2a cvs version of translate
plugin. 1.4rc2a version does not have fixes and updates in translation
servers.

Patch can be applied with command
'zcat translate-almisbar.diff.gz | patch -p 1'
run in squirrelmail's plugins/translate directory.

Or you can take a look at changes that were made and apply them manually.

Problems:
a) see the second thing from my previous email.
b) it won't be the part of 1.4 release. this is not a bugfix, but new
feature with muchos :) i18n strings. And this translation engine is
related only to particular region. If we add every translation server
available on the net ...
c) translate plugin converts entire email into one string. formating is
lost and emails sometimes :) don't follow proper English grammar/spelling.
d) without user feedback it is only yet another untested patch.
