Hi there,

Localizing Red Hat should be no different :)

You should first have all the tools set up... like how are you going to input Urdu text, use which translation tool, etc.

For input, I would suggest, you use scim & m17n-db-arabic packages.

Also, it would be of great help to the community if we can make an Urdu layout. I maintain the m17n-db package... but my knowledge of Urdu is very less.

Would you like to help & contribute to the Red Hat & Fedora community?

Thanks, Mayank

Hi,

I am working to localize REDHAT in URDU. I have successfully localized Debian systems, Now I want to ask whether REDHAT has also the same process as of PO files, or its localization process is different ?

If you know localization process of REDHAT in any Language, please help me or give me clues.

I shall be thankful to you in advance

Also, the Fedora font packagers would probably be very interested of the suitability of the various fonts Fedora Core and Extras ship for Urdu.

(in my particular case, dejavu-full suitability)

Thank you for reply,

Yes I have an URdu KeyBoard Layout and fonts.

Which keyboard layout do you use? Do you use Scim for translations?

I am using the keyboard layout that is downloaded from CRULP website, and also the fonts from the same web site

Hi Tahir,

I'm attaching a file "ur-phonetic.mim". You can save the file & type the corresponding urdu character in the file?

Like if a line is like this... ("P" "") You need to type the urdu character like ("P" "پ")

It will be of great help to Fedora community if you can update this file with urdu key mappings.

If you face any problems, please let me know or you can contact me (makuchaku) on #fedora-i18n on irc.freenode.net

Thanks, Mayank

Actually from the point of view of Fedora, if we want to be urdu-friendly external resources are a total no-go. So :

1. are the keyboard layouts included with Fedora useable with urdu? If the

answer is no working layouts need to be submitted at

• https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xkeyboard-config

(xkeyboard-config, GUI) and

• aeb@cwi.nl (kbd, CLI)

My previous mail, regarding contribution to m17n-db was targetting the same. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-i18n-list/2006-August/msg00008.html

So You mean that I should place the unicode of that character against each entry for urdu language?

I will do it, Please tell me the way to use CVS with Microsoft Windows?

You dont need to add it to CVS... I'll do it on your behalf, with due credit to you.

Thanks, Mayank

When i installed font in KDE(through Control Center) i got error

"Error Creating FontName.afm" and after that font is not installed properly, So why this error occurs, What is the solution to this error.

If Font Name is say nafees_naksh.ttf then error occurs "Error Creating nafees_naksh.afm". I am looking forward for ur answer.

A question probably better asked to a kde mailing list, say http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-linux

Thanks for guiding me.
