Information About

Urdu Wikipedia




Wikipedia Urdu, started in January 2004, is the Urdu Language edition of Wikipedia , a free, open-content encyclopedia. As of November 2005, it is relatively small in size, with only about 600 articles.


History

Wikipedia started being multilingual in May , as the software did not work with Urdu characters.


Urdunization


At first, Urdu Wikipedia faced technical problems with the Urdu script font, but now this matter is mostly settled; some unsolved areas remain. Urdu, like Arabic, uses a right-to-left Writing System , so clients must configure their operating systems and web broswers accordingly.

The translation of the Wikipedia interface and project information pages into Urdu is still in progress. Some pages about how to edit have been translated.
