Notes:

  • Each .xls file consists of a series of worksheets.  Each worksheet
    has two columns.  The first column is the English text.  The second
    column is where the Arabic text should be placed (there are a few places where
    there are existing Arabic translations)

  • Under no circumstances should the first column be altered in any
    way.  If the translator happens to see a spelling error or some such
    thing, then have the translator simply highlight the English.
