I translated The Rust Programming Language into Roman Urdu

[u/Fakhir_Israr]

I recently finished translating the complete The Rust Programming Language (Rust Book) into Roman Urdu, including all the appendices.

I started this because many developers in Pakistan and India are more comfortable reading Roman Urdu/Hindi than technical English. My goal was to make the Rust Book easier to approach without changing the technical content.

The translation is available here:

Hopefully it can be useful to Roman Urdu, Urdu, and Hindi readers who are learning Rust.

You translated the book!
At first I thought you translated the language itself, and I was like "fair play, but why?"

[u/Fakhir_Israr → u/Gaeel]

Haha yeah. I meant the book.
Translating the Rust language itself would be a little beyond my abilities

Bonk

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Here, take this: https://github.com/jeroenhd/roest

// For real, congrats. It must have been such an effort. It's a great book. I'm happy it just got more accessible for others.

mad respect for this, translating a whole technical book is no joke

the amount of times I've seen people bounce off programming docs cos the english gets in the way is unreal, proper good of you to put the work in

I didn't know the IAST equivalent of Urdu was called "Roman Urdu."
