Thank you so much for your help, but this translation would represent this unit "acre foot" as two separate units. It does not include the actual definition of the term.

sorry, \"in the box\"
Peer comment(s):
neutral Randa Farhat : please see above discussion and added notes as فدان بعمق قدم and/or فدان لكل قدم. ADDITION: Thank you Hanash. I thought it was obvious in the explanation: فدان لكل قدم and فدان/قدم . I'll try to be more "precise" on kudoz!

The translation you have entered is not precise. If chosen, how are you going to add it in the glossary?You need to put the precise translation in the books then you can elaborate.
