Ammar Ibnezia (ibnezia) | 2 comments Hello,
It's my first day as a librarian and my first post :)

I just wonder about a problem while editing or adding Urdu books. Urdu speaking people usually doesn't search in Urdu, they search in Roman. So, If I add a book with Urdu title, most readers won't able to find it. Can we add a title in two languages?
For example:
original title (Urdu): حماقتیں
original title (Roman): Hamaqatain

May I write like this?
Hamaqatain [حماقتیں]

so, people will be able to find in both languages?
