Fix Arabic Translation Encoding Corruption

Problem

The Arabic translation file (account_financial_report/i18n/ar.po) contains corrupted UTF-8 encoding, causing Arabic text to display as question marks (??????) and garbled characters instead of proper Arabic text.

Solution

  • Replaced all corrupted Arabic text with properly encoded versions
  • Maintained all original translation context and msgid/msgstr structure
  • Ensured consistent UTF-8 encoding throughout the file

Testing

  • Verified file encoding is UTF-8
  • Confirmed Arabic text displays correctly (الحساب instead of ??????)
  • Validated PO file format with msgfmt
  • Checked translation completeness maintained

Impact

This fix restores proper Arabic text display for Arabic-speaking users of the account_financial_report module.
