So there are no "Mailing list" or "Forum" apps? Only those three above?

As far as I remember, the possible values are: Forum, Gallery, Newspaper, Blog, Category, Board, Mixed and Subcategory. You should check which ones are masculine and feminine in order to build the right macros for your translation.

Is there a simple macro for testing string equality? or is it just "regex_matches"?
Better yet, is there a switch-case-like macro?

Here is what I'm thinking:

<macro name="the" dot_marameter="app">
        <n.if.regex_matches text="[n.app/]" pattern="منتدى"/>    // forum
                <then>المنتدى</then>
                <else.if.regex_matches text="[n.app/]" pattern="فئة"/>    // category
                        <then>الفئة</then>
                        <else.if.regex_matches text="[n.app/]" pattern="فئة فرعية"/>    // subcategory
                                <then>الفئة الفرعية</then>
                                <else.if.regex_matches text="[n.app/]" pattern="معرض صور"/>    // gallery
                                        <then>معرض الصور</then>

1. How should I close the <else.if.regex_matches> tags?
    </else.if.regex_matches>
    OR
    </else.if.regex_matches text="[n.app/]" pattern="فئة"/>

2. Is there a better way to do this switch-case-type logic?

You can use a switch-case like this:

<macro name="the" dot_parameter="app">
	<n.switch. value="[n.app/]">
		<n.case. value="forum">منتدى</n.case.>
		<n.case. value="category">فئة</n.case.>
		<n.case. value="subcategory">فئة فرعية</n.case.>
		...
	</n.switch.>
</macro>

If you want simple string comparison, you can use:

<n.if.equal value1="[n.app]" value2="forum">
	<then>...</then>
</n.if.equal>
