Re: [pakgrid] Digital Circuits book in URDU-contribution to a national cause

We need to have books in Urdu. I have seen videos of people lecturing in Urdu with internationally accepted scientific terminology, which makes a lot of sense. Scientific books in Urdu can take the same route. What everyone else is doing is based on the need that they have, we need to devise our own plan and see how Urdu books fit in Pakistan. The idea is not to present scientific books as Urdu literature but make them as easy to read as possible. We can have Urdu translation of all the scientific terms used in the book towards the end of the book for all who are interested. In my opinion, good and easy to read scientific books will extend the reach of science to all who can read Urdu, and that will be a big achievement.

I see almost websites of almost ALL the German universities are in German language. Some of them carry English language component as well. My questions are:

Do the natives study in English or German? In particular, the undergrads?

In Germany, is English language a compulsory subject at primary and secondary school levels?

Have theny abondoned publishing engineering and scientific literature in German?

It might seem harsh but even the countries who used to teach in their own language e.g. Germany is moving towards more and more English programmes. Whereas with this effort we are going in the opposite direction.
So therefore, translating English texts into Urdu is not the solution. It is the scientific approach that matters most and the emphasis should be done on primary and secondary level education to impart such approach.

PS: If you are translating texts then I am afraid you have to devise programming languages in URDU and their associated compilers as well.

Assalam o alaikum All,

Mr Khalid Khan of COMSATS institute of IT is doing a wonderful job of writing electrical engineering books in urdu. Digital circuits is the second book of his efforts. I have attached this book for the students who want to benefit from it.
