$this->data['text_newsletter'] = $this->language->get('text_newsletter');

like this:

$this->data['text_facebook']  = $this->language->get('facebook');

and added same line for Arabic lang.

2.Added the the:

$_['text_facebook']  = 'facebook';

before end of file:

/catalog/language/english/common/footer.php

3.print out put to user like this:

<li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/muhamedauda"><?php echo $text_facebook; ?></a> <span class="facebook-icon"></span> </li>

I get only : facebook echoed to user(web page). how can i echo text i defined it into language file?

It should be

$this->data['text_facebook'] = $this->language->get('text_facebook');

and don't forget to add $_['text_facebook'] = 'facebook'; to all of your languages you use
