Hi As you might know, *Urdu *is one of the FOURTH most spoken language of the world.
Wikipedia says: There are between 60 and 70 million self-identified native speakers of * Urdu*: There were 52 million in India per the 2001 census, some 6% of the population; 12 million in Pakistan in 2008, or 14%; and several hundred thousand apiece is the United Kingdom<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom> , Saudi Arabia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia>, United States<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States>, and Bangladesh <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh>, where it is called "Bihari". However, a knowledge of *Urdu* allows one to speak with far more people than that, asHindi-Urdu<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindustani_language> is the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world, after Mandarin<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese> , English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language>, and Spanish<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language> . For details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu As now you can see that, *Urdu* is National Language of *Pakistan* and I am from Pakistan. I already have experience in translating some open source software into *Urdu*. I love *LibreOffice* and i would love to have it in my Language. So, instead of waiting for someone else to do it, why not me? I assure you that I will do my best to produce the *Urdu* version of *Libre Office *as well as *Documentation* inUrdu for it. I will also work to create an Urdu Localization Team for this project. I am waiting for your Permission and Instructions to take my first steps. Thank you so much.
