Dear colleagues, I need your help to find out the appropriate term for the above headed phrase. I have proposed "Intekhab-e-alfaz dareecha". I'll appreciate your comments on my proposed translation. A colleague is of the view that here word "dareecha" should be replaced with "Khirhki" but it will seem funny. What do you think?

Yes, indeed you are correct dareecha is the corrert word "window", even is MS they use this word (sometimes ونڈو is used), but ur proposed translated is totally correct.
Note from asker:
| Thanks Ramesh for your input but I haven't used 'Khirkhi'. My reviewer in a project has proposed that I should use "Khirhki" instead of "dareecha". But I am sure it will make a fun of my product as it is more than literal in the context |

Dareecha-e-Intekhab-e-Alfaz
I think Dareecha-e-Intekhab-e-alfaz will sound good.

Haris Ali Dogar
: I think if instead of translation, if you transliterate this phrase it would also sound good. Because our new generation is more habitual to transliterated ( in IT field) words than Urdu translation.

Thank you very much! You are right for a particular class of people that know English--but there are many people, amongst the younger generation as well, that do not know English. And Web-localization and terminology is helpful to them.
