Indeed, there is no Urdu translation of the manual, as can be seen on <http://doc.php.net/> (the right column lists all existing translations). > Please can you tell me the > process on how can i initiate a new language and add it to the current set. > I think I can easily manage volunteers for doing so and we will very > rapidly build this version. Don't underestimate the effort of translating and maintaining the translation, though. :) There are already more than 10,000 pages of documentation, and of the 31 existing translations only 11 are still publicly available, due to the other 20 translations being very incomplete/out-dated, see <http://doc.php.net/revcheck.php>. I would suggest that you try to find some co-workers and start translating the most important pages. When that is done ping this list again, and I'm confident that one of the respective admins will set up the infrastructure for the Urdu translation (i.e. the doc-ur@ mailing list and the ur/ directory in SVN). -- Christoph M.
