摘要：Software industry has proven to be a stepping stone towards changing the rank of a country in thecomity of nations. In South Asian region, India has immensely excelled her economic growth byincreasing its revenues with the help of software export. The development of software involvesman power with technical support, where the premier focus in on computer programming.Therefore, producing a large number of skillful computer programmers in Pakistan wouldcertainly help the cause of establishing software houses, which in turn, will attract the westernworld to outsource their software projects to Pakistan. Like India, this can certainly act like agame changer for Pakistan’s economy by earning a huge revenue.In this research we have presented a methodology to increase the interest of Pakistanipeople in computer programming by providing a bilingual computer program developmentenvironment in Urdu and English languages. This act may certainly open new dimensions ofteaching computer programming, for instance, by introducing computer programming at schoollevel. Furthermore, it may increase the interest of students and teachers to learn and teachcomputer programming while experiencing to program in their national language. Lastly, intechnical terms, we have presented the visual design of such bilingual environment along witharchitectural modification in the preprocessor for C++ language to support both Urdu and Englishlanguages for writing computer programs.
