Hello, I am new to Glotpress and have contributed a few translations in Persian, Urdu, Mongolian and Kirgiz. I am wondering what the validators in Persian, Mongolian and Kirgiz are up to, because there doesn’t seem to have been any validating activity in the last three to four weeks. Urdu seems to be validating.
Can anyone shed some light on that? Thanks.

Yes, Pakistan’s Urdu language is different from Indian Hindi-Urdu language. And Pak Urdu is the official language in Pakistan. More than 250 million people speak Pak Urdu language in the World. For more details on difference between Hindi-Urdu & Pak Urdu (official language of Pakistan) you can see on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi-Urdu_grammar
Thanks Ze

All the WordPress Urdu translators, I have updated the Urdu translation home page with some content in Urdu giving some background and importance of translating WordPress in Urdu. I have also included a five step process for anyone who wants to volunteer for the translation, as I realized many don’t even know how to get a Urdu keyboard setup in Windows. Please checkout http://ur.wordpress.org/ and share it in your circle of friends, so that we can get more volunteers for this effort.

Did you take a look at http://wppolyglots.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/hi-i-want-to-takeover-translation-of-wordpress/ ? It seems we already have a validator for Urdu. He should be able to give you validation permissions.

ibnedawood
Upon your guidance, (He should be able to give you validation permissions) I requested but no response. I am not satisfied with the validation of translation & translation process on going like a crocodile. There are so many mistakes in approved translation strings & language terms. I have been using WordPress for four years & I know Arabic language also. I would like to complete it in a month or two if you want to assist me in this matter.
Could you please set me as validator on Glotpress (translate.wordpress.org) & set SVN commit privileges to give me access my locale for updating files.

I see your translations under 3.3.x whereas most of ours were under 3.4 (future). I will see if I can merge them. Don’t seem to see the ‘approve/reject’ buttons. Zé, can you please look into it?

Abrar
Please see my response to @ibnedawood, I have merged his work with 3.4.

@ibnedawood, I have merged your translation to the latest version 3.4. We have made it to 22%, lets work to make it to the finish line. Thank you for your contributions.

Please see http://wppolyglots.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/hello-i-have-started-translating-wordpress-into-urdu/, it looks like Urdu is already being maintained.

I requested it as I noticed this message on WordPress translation website at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Urdu_-_.D8.A7.D8.B1.D8.AF.D9.88
“WordPress in Urdu – اردو appears abandoned. If you want to organize an official team, please visit the Polyglots’ P2 with your request.”
I have resources available to dedicate to this effort and I am committed to its completion.

Fair enough. I’ll get ur.wordpress.org started, but I can’t find a .org user by the name of ‘tech.wiz’

It is continuing slow but steady. Let us make some contributions first. The message on the wiki is old and I changed it last week.
-
Abrar
Akber, great to hear about the progress. Let me know in what role we need more contributors?
-
Akber Choudhry
Please enter some translated strings. I am using Virtaal and I can share the translation memory with you if you are using the same tool.

Abrar
Why Virtaal? Why not WordPress wiki directly?

I believe WordPress.org is maintaining it as Tech.whiz (notice a capital T).

Hello,
I have started translating WordPress into Urdu. Can anyone of you tell me how my translations will get approved? I’ve been doing this for last couple of days but none has been approved yet.
Thanks.-
Kenan
Hello,
You need validator rights for your language (which are requested on this page) in order to get your translations approved. Also, you have Handbook and Polyglots’ resources to help you with your first steps in the process. Once you have finished your translation on GlotPress, you may want to request creation of local web site (ur.wordpress.org) so you can publish your work. -
Akber Choudhry
Hi axphi, I will validate your translations, and add you in due course. Welcome!

Hi, I also want to assist you guys in WordPress localization process for Urdu language.

Hi mrimitiaz, please translate a few strings. We will then review together.
I will also be uploading a bunch of strings this week.

Hi Akber, I couldn’t able to find any sub domain site for Urdu language like ur.wordpress.org. So shouldn’t we request to create a sub domain for this purpose first?
-
Akber Choudhry
Once you enter them into the interface, they will automatically be available for review. Let me know once you have entered them into the interface.
And my suggestion is that once we get close to 50% of strings of the latest release, we’ll try to get the domain going – so that people have something to download once they get there.
What do you think?

Hello Akber, I have prepared a list of translated strings. How can I share these strings with you for review?

Hi, I tried entering Urdu strings on the following page against each English phrase. I noticed that if we include any English word in an Urdu string it totally disorders our Urdu phrase. Could you please help me on this?
-
Akber Choudhry
Thanks, a few points to consider:
1. There should be no English (Roman script) in the translation except variables. And even variables create problems. See next.
2. Unicode- and RTL-compliant applications change direction when it meets a number or an LTR string, and like you said it is very hard to edit right in there.What I do is I use an editor such as Notepad++ or UniRed and copy the string there — these editors have modes that do not change direction, so you will see the English string the wrong way — i.e. RTL — but at least they will all be in the same direction so that you can verify its correctness. When you paste this back into the browser interface, the English part will switch direction but the underlying order will be OK.

Hey guys, looks like you gave up on this effort? As I am seeing the following message when I try to get Urdu translation at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Urdu_-_.D8.A7.D8.B1.D8.AF.D9.88
“WordPress in Urdu – اردو appears abandoned. If you want to organize an official team, please visit the Polyglots’ P2 with your request.”
Let me know if you want to move forward and you need any help, I am committed to making this effort succeed. It will be a one big step forward for users of Urdu language over the Internet.

Akber Choudhry
Abrar, welcome.
Yes, it is ongoing but slow and I’ve updated the status to show that now. Definitely not abandoned right now. We have had about 30 strings last week. Please contribute your strings. I do monitor any pending approvals regularly.

erumbibi and 
Abrar, 
ibnedawood, 
Muradali is discussing. 
Akber Choudhry, and 1 other are discussing. 
I need a little more context here. Are you saying that “Pak Urdu” is different from “Urdu”?. I can see no official references to a variation of Urdu by that name: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=urd
