Ismail Raza, The only Urdu to English translator I have used is Google's. It's rather clumsy (as almost all machine translation tools tend to be), but it can be useful. You don't need to install it; it works in the web browser.

Ashiq,
For practising Urdu handwriting, there are many good books available in the market. I would suggest you use them instead of a single paragraph or sentence.

درست کہا آپ نے
صحیح urduweb.org ہے
اور منسشاء میرا بھی اسی فورم یعنی “اردو محفل” کا تھا

فرید صاحب،
آپ شاید http://urduweb.org کی بات کر رہے ہیں۔ میں اس ویب سائٹ سے واقف ہوں، اور وہاں کے فورم، اردو محفل، کا رکن بھی ہوں۔

راہنمائی کے لئیےبہت مشکور
سوال نمبر ۲ کی طرف بعد میں آتا ہوں۔ اس سے پہلے آپ کی توجہ
www.urduweb.com
کی طرف مبزول کرانا چاہونگا۔ غالبا” آپ اس سے پہلے ہی متعارف ہونگے [کمپیوٹر پہ اردو کے استعمال میں اپنی دلچسپی اور تکنیکی اہلیت کی وجہ سے] اگر آپ اس ویب پیج تک پہلے نہیں گئے تو ضرور دورہ کیجئیے۔
میری ناچیز رائے میں دونون ویب سائٹس اور زبانِ اردو کو فایئدہ ہوگا۔
والسام و خیراندیش
فرید

Farid Ansari sahab, I am glad it worked. As for your other queries... i. For a printable keyboard layout, go to the keyboard layout's page, and download the "Release Notes". For a displayable layout on your computer's screen, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Ease of Access, and click On-Screen Keyboard. This will display a virtual keyboard, and when you select UR from the Language Bar, it will show Urdu characters. (You can also use mouse to input characters from this keyboard.) ii. I am not really sure I understand your question. If the ligatures you are interested in are defined in the Unicode standard and if they are supported in the font you are using, then you can use a Unicode text editor (such as the excellent BabelPad) for finding that ligature and inserting/copying it. Otherwise, I have no clue.

And, it worked! Just as I expected your instruction would!
My, you are getting to be too predictable!
Pun intended.

10/10, Sa’adat sb, for brevity AND precision combined.

Now, some thing that does NOT require your immediate attention (so that other Dummies like me can benefit from your attention and help; then we just might start a fan club):
i) Can I get a printable/displayable layout showing keyalphabet? InPage used to have this feature; when invoked, you got a dock-able/floating layout.
ii) How do I use the Unicode character codes for directly inserting a character from the font set into a text string? Eg., a ligature, etc.
‘Hope life is going great for you.
Best regards.
