DeleteDear Bro!
ReplyDeleteI have installed Urdu Language as well Phonetic Keyboard on my systme (windows-7) and its working qt good but I am experiencing a minor problem that a few letters of urdu alphabets are not joining with the last letter "ye". Eg. KAISE, KYA, KHAYAL, MERE, PYAR, YA, MERA, MERI etc.. I tried installing "PAK-URDU-INSTALLER" then also the problem remains same. I tried changing different fonts and every thing I could...
but nothing is working out. please let me know the solution for this.
Dear Bro! Assalamu Alaikum.
ReplyDeleteI have installed Urdu Language and Urdu Phonetic Key Board on my laptop (Windows-7, 64bit) but while I type urdu in MS-Word (after switching to urdu language), the urdu letter "ye" is not getting joined with any of the other alphabets, its automatically taking a space after "ye" in the "Y". Ex. مےرے، مےرا، دسوےں، کہےں، ےھےں، please help me out to solve this issue.
Waalaikum Assalaam,
DeletePlease reconfirm that you've followed all instructions. It's possible that you've not installed Right-to-left language support. Go to Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboard and Languages > click "Change Keyboard" button and see if there is any keyboard layout for Urdu is available if yes then it's possible that right-to-left language support isn't properly installed.
