Great ideas from a great man ;) I have some experience in the field of 
translation -not so much- but I learned to use a consistency list !! you 
may ask what is consistency list, it is a list of the most *common* 
words and their translation to Arabic this list will help the 
translators to standardise their translations, to clarify my words say 
for example the English word "links" translated to "WASLAT" and others 
likes "RAOABIT" both correct, but in translation we must select one to 
achieve consistincy amonge translations.
