    Respected seniors,

    We are running a site in unicode Urdu, and are willing to start an english version of website, however content of English website will be a little bit different.
    How to do it?
    Someone said that install another wp in /en folder. is there any other best method available?

    Regards

    That will be the easiest approach, but you will have the problem of managing two sites (each with its own theme, plugins, load of works, etc) and try to sync each other on the go.

    Another approach would be to setup a Wordpress multi site, it is like managing one site (you can manage one theme and a set of plugins, not two). It is a little bit tricky to setup and manage, but it is a worthy experience to try.

    I would personally use a multilingual plugin such as WPML if you can afford it, but polylang take care all of this very well, and it is free.

    Have you searched for any plugins that can translate it for you?

    Actually am not willing to translate the whole site. But I want to manage multi-lingual sections type website.

    If you are not willing to translate the entire website, then managing two websites would be the ideal choice. Otherwise, a translator is the best option you can get.
