I started my journey of giving back to the community back in 2016, as a WordPress Translator, when Ahmad Awais<\/a> organized a local <\/span>WordPress Translation Meetup<\/a><\/strong> on WordPress Translation Day 2. Since then, I enjoyed my stay in the WordPress community so much that I could not help myself involving in the community and WordPress itself. And this time, I am planning to arrange a local WordPress Translation meet up in Pakistan along with Ahmad Awais, on Global WordPress Translation Day 3 \u2013 September 30th, 2017. And guess what, this time celebrations are huge because 30th September is also declared as International Translation Day by United Nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel excited to share our thoughts and plans for the translation day.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a vision to encourage people using WordPress in Pakistan, Ahmad Awais took an initiative to translate WordPress into Urdu \u2013 The national language of Pakistan. It was last year, in November 2016, on WordPress Translation Day 2 when he organized a local meetup for this very purpose. Ahmad introduced the Pakistani Developers to the translation, highlighted its significance and explained the entire working process. He was able to curate a team of more than 60 people<\/strong> who participated in online and offline meet up to translate the WordPress into Urdu.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the very first time, WordPress was translated 100% into Urdu. WordPress 4.7 was the first version to be released in Urdu. Following the spirit, we were able to maintain the translation in v4.8 as well. Currently, three versions, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 are available in Urdu. Not only that, but we also participated in the Caldera Forms<\/a> party<\/strong> last month and helped them to be available 100% in Urdu. And it’s quite overwhelming to see this community growing and participating in such events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Translation party is almost over. Winners announcement later, but @CalderaForms<\/a> is now 100% out in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Urdu https:\/\/t.co\/oK6iRhwLcb<\/a><\/p>\n
