Software industry has proven to be a stepping stone towards changing the rank of a country in the
comity of nations. In South Asian region, India has immensely excelled her economic growth by
increasing its revenues with the help of software export. The development of software involves
man power with technical support, where the premier focus in on computer programming.
Therefore, producing a large number of skillful computer programmers in Pakistan would
certainly help the cause of establishing software houses, which in turn, will attract the western
world to outsource their software projects to Pakistan. Like India, this can certainly act like a
game changer for Pakistan’s economy by earning a huge revenue.
In this research we have presented a methodology to increase the interest of Pakistani
people in computer programming by providing a bilingual computer program development
environment in Urdu and English languages. This act may certainly open new dimensions of
teaching computer programming, for instance, by introducing computer programming at school
level. Furthermore, it may increase the interest of students and teachers to learn and teach
computer programming while experiencing to program in their national language. Lastly, in
technical terms, we have presented the visual design of such bilingual environment along with
architectural modification in the preprocessor for C++ language to support both Urdu and English
languages for writing computer programs
