English translation:Installation difficulty
Explanation:
The context you have provided is overly terse. Since Language Force are producers of translation sofware, I assume that your context is computer software, in which case تثبيت refers to installation.

Base on this assumption, your term means "installation difficulty".

It is also likely that Language Force is the mislplaced name of the asker, i.e. the question is coming from someone at Language Force. Ironically there is a free machine translation service at http://www.languageforce.com, which returns the message "Untranslated" for تثبيت. Maybe that's the single word missing in their glossary:)

In conclusion, if the context is computer related, you might use the above answer, yet you are still adviced to provide more context to ensure accuracy. If you context is different, please provide it.

Hope this helps,

Alaa Zeineldine

Explanation:
Ajeeb.com online dictionary at http://dictionary.ajeeb.com suggests the following English terms for the Arabic word صعوبة

difficulty, complexity, complication, complicatedness, preposterousness, arduousness, absurdity, refusal

Some of these terms may be very far from your context, but that is what you get in a dictionary lookup. Dictionaries don’t know your context, and you provided us with none.

The same dictionary suggests the following English terms for the Arabic word تثبيت

fixation, fixing, stabilizing, stabilization

Alaa's suggestion (installation difficulty) is very smart and would be appropriate in a software-related context.

For simple term lookups without context, the Ajeeb.com online dictionary is a very useful resource, much more so than KudoZ pros, so it would be helpful to save this link for future reference.

For context-specific translation advice, the KudoZ pros can provide far more help than print or online dictionaries. If you would like, you can repost the same phrase with sufficient contextual information so we can offer you meaningful translation advice. Without context, a dictionary is your best resource.
