[Kde-i18n-fa] Regarding Urdu Language Support

[Arash Zeini]

Hi Nadir,

Welcome to this mailing list. We are happy to see progress on the Urdu 
front.
Does this mean that the entire KDE is translated to Urdu? Could you please 
elaborate on this a little bit. As far as I know there are no Urdu 
translations in the KDE CVS server.

In order to avoid the question marks in KDE, you should change the default 
locale for your user to a UTF-8 locale on system level. Please note that I 
am not talking about KDE's locale settings.
Run this command to do this:
"dpkg-reconfigure locales"

Let us know how this works for you. In order to make a KNOPPIX with Urdu 
you need a running system first.

Greetings,
Arash
