The Urdu translation it brand new, just added this month and currently has one translator who has volunteered to work on it. Since it’s new, right now the translation is still at 0%. We tend to activate languages once they reach a threshold of usability (70-80%). Would you or anyone you know like to volunteer to translate Urdu? We use the online tool POEditor and would be happy to send an invite. Translating can be a big job as there’s many strings in Gibbon, the more people on the team the faster it can be activated.

Thanks!

Hi Ghulam,

Sounds great, I’ve sent a reply to your email. I’m not sure the automatic translation is available to as, as an open source project. Gibbon deals with a lot of terminology specific to schools too, so the best quality translation is likely the ones done by hand.
