Qouted from Wikipedia:::
URL=  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language

Bengali language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Bangla" redirects here. For Bengali speaking people, see Bengali people.

Bengali or Bangla (Bengali: বাংলা, pronounced [ˈbaŋla]) is an 
eastern Indo-Aryan
language. It is native to the region of eastern South Asia known as Bengal, 
which
comprises present day Bangladesh, the Indian state of West Bengal, and parts of 
the
Indian states of Tripura and Assam. With nearly 230 million total speakers, 
Bengali
is one of the most spoken languages (ranking *****FIFTH[2] or ******SIXTH[3]) 
in the
world.

Along with other Eastern Indo-Aryan languages, Bengali evolved circa 1000-1200 
AD
from the Magadhi Prakrit, a declined, vernacular form of the ancient Sanskrit
language. It is now the primary language spoken in Bangladesh and is the second 
most
spoken language in India.[5][6]

I feel its a sheer deprivation.
Google must consider taking into account a language that is internationally 
spoken
and is the mothertongue for FIFTH or SIXTH (Source: Wikipedia) largest number of
people in the world.
The language is a main-stream one, and comprises of a robust amount of 
literature load.

I feel Google must consider this urgently, 

With its long and rich literary tradition, Bengali serves to bind together a
culturally diverse region. In 1952, when Bangladesh used to be East Pakistan, 
this
strong sense of identity led to the Bengali Language Movement, in which several
people braved bullets and died on February 21. This day has now been declared 
as the
International Mother Language Day.

BR,
Wasim

Rather than create multitudes of duplicate issues on this tracker, if you would 
like
to see your language supported by the Language API, I would suggest using the
Translate Toolkit to upload translation memories.

Original comment by jrgeer...@gmail.com on 4 May 2010 at 2:49

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can you please let us know more about the Translate Toolkit you have mentioned, 
like 
where to access it from and how to use it?

Check it out at the link below:

http://translate.google.com/toolkit

Once there, you need to click on the "Translation memories" link and follow the
instructions there.

Google Translator has Hindi (Indian national language) feature. I seek Bengali 
(Indian regional language) as a feature in Google Translator service. There is 
plenty of site contains Bengali these days i.e "http://thatta.hostzi.com". 
Bengali is the only language for which now we celebrate the Mother Language Day 
in an international form. This is why the people of the whole world respect the 
Bengali language. Many unicode software (AVRO) has been made for aiding the 
Bengali typing. According to 
"http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-204.html",  Bengali language 
is in the 7th position out of Top 10 Languages spoken across the World.

Google should understand the importance & should implement the service ASAP 
without waiting for more comments/response.

Yes! Google Should Implant the Bengali language in Google Translator. Not Only 
Bengali is in TOP 7 Position among the world, and Not only its a Indian 
Regional Language. Its also a National Language of Bangladesh. Its a Country. 
Google Should understand the importance and should implement the BENGALI 
Language in The Translation as Soon as Possible.

Yes please add it. Bengali — Number of speakers: 211 million.

This would be a awesome function as my grandfather speaks and writes Bengali 
but isn’t able to speak or write English and would be really useful for 
communicating with him through the internet.

rapidly. So dear Google Team please as soon as possible  add bangla translator 
on your  Google translator.

Surprised to see that 'Bengali' is not added in the list of languages of goggle 
translator... while hindi and urdu have been already added!!.. while the number 
of bengali speakers is more than those languages, and the literary heritage is 
notably higher than the other two.. this would surely create a big issue is not 
settled ASAP. Anyone of the goggle project team - please update us with the 
status & progress report of this issue (379) ASAP.

Google machine translation is the best in the world, and is very poor. I built 
a backtranslating chat using the google app engine 
(//http://gruffchat.appspot.com/) that I hope will permit users to get around 
the shortcomings of even google's machine translation.  There are contacts in 
Bangladesh who would love to use it--but Bangla/Bengali is not available yet.  
Surely there are people in the Bengali IT industry who can be paid or otherwise 
motivated to generate translation memories. Is such a project underway, by 
google or an ngo, and how can we support it? Please give us some hope that 
resources are being devoted to this project.

Those who have mentioned that Hindi is the National Language of India and 
Bangla is a regional language of India, a small correction please.

The popular idea that Hindi is THE national language of India is not correct. 
In fact, India does not have any ONE National language in particular. It has a 
list of languages recognized as National Languages which includes both Hindi 
and Bangla.

Also, as rightly pointed out, Bangla is THE National Language of an independent 
nation, Bangladesh, which is probably the only country in the world to be born 
on a linguistic basis.

Another interesting info: Rabindranath is the only man in the world to have 
composed the National Anthem of two diferent nations, India and Bangladesh, 
both in Bangla.

Hi,
Recently I have launched a cause on Facebook to support Bengali to be included 
in the Google translate. It has got a high level of attention. As a member of 
300 million Bengali speaking people in the world, my heartiest request to you, 
please include Bengali in your translation portal.

This language plays a major part in Bangladeshi and Indian culture. Its script 
and sentence formation is very similar to some other South Asian languages 
which has already been included by you. Therefore, it won't cause much effort 
to include Bengali as well. Please consider our request and help us to shorten 
language barriers further. I appreciate Google's contribution to the world 
cultures and heritages.

I too feel that Bengali should be added to Google Translate. To offer 
translation services for Maltese (spoken by 400,000 people), and not for 
Bengali (spoken by 250-300 million people) is inexcusable. One language is 
spoken by 750 times as many people as the other! This is a sad mistake on the 
part of Google, and it should be rectified immediately.

We celebrated the International Mother Language Day (UNESCO), Language Movement 
Day, celebrated by Bengali speaking people for gaining right of mother tongue 
in Bangladesh. 

Bengali is a sweet language, I request you to Google, Please develop us a good 
translator for Bengali, So Bengali people in Rural/Urban/NRI can able to 
communicated each other with their mother tung.

I wish Google will take comprehensive step for our World People/Society, so 
they can able to communicated freely through Google.
