Hi Mustafa,
Welcome to the FUEL project. This project aims at solving the issues related
to standardization and consistency in language desktop. It would be great to
work on a language like Urdu. Thanks for you initiation in this direction.
We have created one POT file based on the primary levels of menus-submenus
from some popular applications. There are 578 entries currently in this
file.
The above file, first stage, please try to translate this on the basis of
current community practice. Then the Urdu community can arrange a workshop
(generally of 2 days) with some language persons, translators, technical
persons, users etc and discuss on the entries present in the POT file. After
the discussion, the community will release it as community accepted
terminology and use it for translation in future.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any queries.
Abdul, I have added you in the mailing list.

Rajesh Ranjan

Dear Mustafa,
Thank you for expressing an interest in the FUEL project.
As part of the Localization standardization initiatives FUEL project was
born. And it's going in a very good pace now. Chhattisgarhi (hne), Gujarati
(gu) , Hindi (hi), Maithili (mai), Malayalam (ml), Marathi (mr), Punjabi
(pa), Oriya (or), Tamil (ta) , Telugu (te) are the languages so far
completing the evaluation of FUEL standard glossary terms. You may want to
join Urdu (ur) in this list.
For that somebody will have to organize and host FUEL evaluation event
where Linguists or Language experts and Localization community members
participate to standardize FUEL terms into their native language.
There is also a major scope in the technical aspect for this project as
well, e.g. fuelbot enhancement, fuel terminology embedding in the
localization tools, cross-platform database creation, fuel website
development, etc.
I think Rajesh, who initiated this project would be able to open these
tasks to the community soon. However, you may visit Fuel web:
https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/ for more details here. There is also an irc
channel "fuel-discuss" (FreeNode) to stay connected with existing members.
Beyond FUEL, I think Urdu locale, fonts, rendering and input methods also
need some help for Fedora i18n engineers. Let's discuss them on
i18n(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Please do let's know if you have any further queries.
P.S. CC'ed Abdul Ahad, who did show an interest localizing Firefox in Urdu.
Thank You!
