I don't really see the point of writing a programming language with
commands in Urdu and then translate them into English. I don't know of
any language with commands other than English. English is the standard
language for programming languages. But if you are interested in
source-to-source translation, then have a look at txl from www.txl.ca.
Txl is a programming language specifically designed for
source-to-source translation.


As for using the Urdu characterset under Linux, I don't really know.


Why don't you try something like XML? It does support unicode.


Hope that helps.


All the best


Fidel.
