Hi zahoorsolangi - and welcome to Joomla! community forum 

Sounds great that you have interest in translating Joomla! into Sindhi language.

You can start by translating frontend language of latest stable release 1.0.13.
In the folder /language you can find the 3 files to translate: english.php, english.xml and english.ignore.php.
Make a copy of these files and save them as sindhi.php, sindhi.xml and sindhi.ignore.php
When translating the php-files you will have to translate the text at the right like example marked in bold below:

DEFINE('_LANGUAGE','en');
DEFINE('_NOT_AUTH','You are not authorised to view this resource.');
DEFINE('_DO_LOGIN','You need to login.');

When done translating, then you can zip the 3 files in a zip named something like: Joomla!_1.0.13_sindhi_frontend.zip

When thats in place I would suggest you to create a Sindhi project at http://joomlacode.org
Then you could submit the translation to be listed in Joomla! Extensions Directory: http://extensions.joomla.org

Joomla! 1.5 translation:
If you then want to translate Joomla! 1.5, then you can send me a pm and ask to join the Translation Workgroup.

Any questions still? Then feel welcomed to ask

Notes:

Sindhi has to be a utf8 encoding and utf8 charset. Save php files as UTF8 NO BOM. xml file should be encoded iso-8559-1 for the 1.0.x joomla version.
Please also specify if your package will be the derived Arabic script or Devanagari one in the title for the language files and headers. 
ex: sindhi_arabic.php, etc.
