Tanx,

It works, I downloaded the file: 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/bzr/gnome-app-install/gai--main/po/gnome-app-install.pot

Then used these commands:

>touch ./tmp.po
>msgmerge tmp.po gnome-app-install.pot -o gnome-app-install.po

Then Translated the 'Add/Remove...' String, and finally run this
command:

>sudo msgfmt ./gnome-app-install.po
>-o /usr/share/locale-langpack/fa/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-app-install.mo

And Now my menu is Persian!

Thank you very much.
