PTA is Launching its Urdu Website Tomorrow


PTA is launching Urdu version of its website .  Website is told to be exactly the same in terms of content, but in Urdu language.
We are told that PTA is officially launching Urdu website tomorrow in a ceremony, reportedly, Sardar Latif Khosa, Minister for IT and Telecom is going to inaugurate the website.
But if you want to view website before that, access it here: http://urdu.pta.gov.pk
In terms of technologies, Urdu version is using PHP as programming language and MySQL for database. Permalink structure is going to be the same as they are for English version. Fonts are pretty understandable, but could be even better.
PTA’s website’s permalink (or urls) are real problem for many users, for instance, these links are created based on user sessions and can’t be re-used after a set period of time.
However, a good step by PTA indeed.
