Hi Amir and Language Committee, I agree with Amir and these issues will be resolved soon and I will come back here in a couple of months with more activity.
As far as the formatting is concerned, I have tried fixing that in the past but I was able to find a solution to that today as I had to import a template from English Wikisource. Now you can check here that we are able to format it properly. https://wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Julius_Ceasuer_Punjabi_Translation_by_HS_Gill.pdf/36 We will proofread rest of the pages soon enough. Thanks a lot for your support. Regards Satdeeep On 31 October 2016 at 14:39, Amir E.
