+# Urdu translation style guide(انداذِ ترجمہ کا رہنما)
+
+Use semi-formal Urdu for translation:
+
+- Formal "you" (_آپ_) instead of informal form _تم_. Many top software
+  companies (e.g. Google, Facebook, Microsoft) use the formal one, because it's typically
+  considered rude to use the informal one without an established acquaintance with someone.
+
+- Imperative, active, and continuous verbs, e.g. _manage streams_ -
+  _سٹریمس کی رہنمائ کریں_, not _سٹریمس کی رہنمائ_.
+
+- Warm and friendly phrasing whenever appropriate.
+
+- No slang or regional phrases that could be unclear or too informal.
+
+- Balance common verbs and nouns with specific IT-related translations
+  of English terms - this can be tricky, try to check how other
+  resources were translated (e.g. Gmail, Microsoft websites, Facebook)
+  to decide what wouldn't sound awkward/rude in Urdu.
+
+Some terms are very tricky to translate, so be sure to communicate
+with other Urdu speakers in the community. It's all about making
+Zulip friendly and usable.
+
