Hi,

Thanks for these new translations!

I'm afraid that translating directly the SVG files is not the standard procedure. I suggest that you refer to the translating tutorial wiki page (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation#Tutorial_Translation) and use the appropriate PO files instead (they can be edited with a text editor or poedit, available on Mac, Win and Linux). Since you have already done lots of work, it should not take too long to copy-paste to the PO files (but be careful with special characters!)
The advantages of POs are that we can automatically update them when something change in the original file, and that it allows us to generate all the needed SVG and HTML (for the website) versions of the tutorials.
I've created new (but blank...) po files for Farsi here:
http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/

The translated SVGs also need a UI translation file (another PO file, dedicated to the UI) so that we can link them in the help menu. I'll create it a bit later.
