Topic: How to determine the language of fields Posted: 20 Feb 2012 at 1:20am
Hello readers. I am developing reports for an inventory and accounts management system which supports both English and Urdu (Pakistani) language. The default language for reports is Urdu which should reflect the font on the fields which english lang is selected while viewing the reports.
My Question to you all is how i can determine whether the field showing data contains urdu or english language because over this i will change the font to make it appear more native.
Thanks in Advance.

Do the values that contain Urdu language contain any special characters that wouldn't be included in English values? Accented characters for example? Could you post a couple of examples of both English and Urdu values?
