Hi
As you might know, *Urdu *is one of the FOURTH most spoken language of the
world.
Wikipedia says:
There are between 60 and 70 million self-identified native speakers of *
Urdu*: There were 52 million in India per the 2001 census, some 6% of the
population; 12 million in Pakistan in 2008, or 14%; and several hundred
thousand apiece is the United
Kingdom<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom>
, Saudi Arabia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia>, United
States<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States>,
and Bangladesh <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh>, where it is
called "Bihari". However, a knowledge of *Urdu* allows one to speak with
far more people than that,
asHindi-Urdu<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindustani_language> is
the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world, after
Mandarin<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese>
, English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language>, and
Spanish<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language>
.
For details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu
As now you can see that, *Urdu* is National Language of *Pakistan* and I
am from Pakistan. I already have experience in translating some open source
software into *Urdu*.
I love *LibreOffice* and i would love to have it in my Language. So,
instead of waiting for someone else to do it, why not me?
I assure you that I will do my best to produce the *Urdu* version of *Libre
Office *as well as *Documentation* inUrdu for it. I will also work to
create an Urdu Localization Team for this project.
I am waiting for your Permission and Instructions to take my first steps.
Thank you so much.
Regards
*Yasir Aman*
