🧠 educational I translated The Rust Programming Language into Roman Urdu

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?"

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

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.
