# Before 2017 i have tried…

Before 2017 i have tried many times manually to translates WordPress in Urdu, and
i have done some websites but this job was very difficult. In 2017 WordPress team
have announce proper and complete local WordPress version release, so i am thankful&
also I have joined this project. But some extra options are still needed to improve
it, like **Urdu font option** is very important please provide font option. Thank
You.

And recently I have translated some stringsString A string is a translatable part
of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. of 
Latest Urdu WordPress Version 4.8 and All in one SEO Pack pluginPlugin A plugin 
is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress
website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites.
WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly
with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. which any person not approve yet.
I think any localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language
code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico.
A list of all locales supported by WordPress in [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/)
manager is not available right now. I want to translate WordPress, Plugins and Themes.
Also I want to become a **Locale Manager**, i request you please approve me. i’ll
be thankful to Polygots.

 6.  3. In order to stay in more regular contact with the global Polyglots teamPolyglots
     Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating
     plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/)(

     I know that for instance the Japanese installation package includes a special 
     pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that
     can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new 
     features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP

     or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. for support of double-byte characters.
