Menu entry and application name is not translated into Arabic

[Khaled Hosny]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The menu entry for firefox (Firefox Web Browser) is not translated to Arabic, though launchpad translation is 100%. Also the application name in help menu and preferences dialog is not translated though it is translated in official Mozilla builds.

Could you please verify that the Unicode characters came through ok?

[Khaled Hosny (khaledhosny)]

No, the encoding of the text is broken. Attached a fixed one.
