I think the message here is that you (Khaled and Arabic L10n team
members) need to sort out
the Arabic team situation on launchpad. That probably means merging all teams to
one, so prospective translators can meet at a single location.

Therefore, the task you need to do Khaled is that of housekeeping. Can
you contact whoever
needs to be contacted so that any prospective translators can join a
single L10n team for Arabic?
