Reimagining Macintosh System 3.0 (MacOS) in Urdu

As a Pakistani, I've always marveled at how technology predominantly speaks in English here. But what if that hadn't been the case, right from the start? Here's a reimagination of Macintosh System 3.0 in Urdu.
Many may not be aware, but Microsoft maintains a comprehensive database dedicated to the translation of Microsoft and technology-related terminology across numerous languages, including Urdu.

Some interesting translations we don't use often:
RAM: اتفاقی رسائی میموری
Edit: تدوین کرنا
System (in tech terms): نظام
Double Click: دہرا کلک
Keyboard: کلید تختہ

...and numerous other words which reveal that the language was, in fact, ready for the digital age, but we chose not to go with Urdu (and all our other local languages too)
