Thank you all for your feedback.
Suyash, I added Hindi in 2 places.
Saqib, I saw the same thing as Lily. I understand your point and changed the text to the one you'd sent.
Johnattan, thanks for pointing out the grammatical mistake. I had the Spanish translation but "a" was missing in it.
I uploaded a new version of the design at: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/WLM_Multilingual_Logo.pd...
Thanks, Mohammad

Lily, major Urdu language news outlets translated "Wiki Loves Monuments" this way, for instance BBC Urdu, Dawn, Jang etc
https://jang.com.pk/news/234690-staff-reporter-column-2016-1 2-20-todays-print 3. https://www.dawnnews.tv/news/1045021
Not a single news outlet translated the Wiki Loves Monuments non-literally.

Hi Saqib,
We noticed that there was some back-and-forth on the page for the translation to Urdu. I can read it and it seems the disagreement is about whether you literally say Wiki Loves Monuments and write what you hear in English in Urdu alphabet (which is what you're recommending), or you do actual translation of the words (which is what we used initially). it's hard for us to judge what is correct. :( We may have to eventually go
with
what's in Wikidata, but I'll leave it to Mohammad to make the call.
Best, Lily

Isn't it over the big Wiki Loves Monuments, almost in the middle? If that's not Urdu, can you update the Wikidata item with the correct translation for Urdu?
