Project management in Urdu — interface, calendar, and all

Project management that works in Urdu — properly

You can type Urdu into almost any task tool. What you can't usually get is the tool itself in Urdu — a right-to-left interface, Urdu menus and buttons, Urdu email notifications, and dates your team actually recognises. Most project software was built English-first and, at best, translated later. The layout still reads left-to-right, mixed Urdu-English text gets jumbled, and there's no Hijri calendar in sight.

Artala is different. Urdu is one of its professionally native-reviewed languages, with a fully mirrored right-to-left interface — not a flipped skin, but boards, tables, task cards, dialogs, and kanban drag-and-drop that all read the way your team reads.

What you get in Urdu

• Full Urdu interface (اردو) — menus, buttons, system messages, and email notifications, all professionally reviewed by native speakers.
• True right-to-left layout — the whole app mirrors correctly, not just the text.
• Bidirectional text isolation — mixed Urdu-English content, numbers, and technical terms stay coherent instead of scrambling.
• Native Hijri (Islamic) calendar — Islamic dates shown alongside Gregorian, toggleable per user, so your team isn't converting dates in their head.
• Friday/Saturday weekends — or whatever your workspace uses; the calendar and timesheets shade non-working days to match.
• Per-user language — Urdu-speaking and English-speaking teammates share one workspace, each in their own interface.

This is a real Artala board — a Lahore trading business — running in Urdu, right-to-left, with the Hijri calendar, next to the same board in English:

Built with Pakistan in mind

Artala covers the languages of the region most tools overlook — Urdu with full RTL, plus Sindhi, Pashto, and more in development, and a Hijri calendar available in every language. Free for teams of up to three, and $7 per user a month for everything after that.

Urdu is professionally native-reviewed. If you spot a phrase that doesn't sound right, or your team needs a regional dialect we don't cover yet, tell us — the localization engine is built into the product, and improving it is part of how Artala grows.
