Google Translator in Bengali #431

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I would like to suggest the inclusion of Bengali (or Bangla) as a language 
in the Google Translation service. 

Bengali(Bangla) is the 6th most spoken language in the world (ref: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers
). It is the official language of Bangladesh as well as the states of West 
Bengal and Tripura(India); in fact it is probably the only language in the 
world based on which a nation was born (Bangladesh). 211 million bengali 
speaking population all over the world will be absolutely delighted to see 
Bengali translation feature available with Google and I am sure that would 
mean increased user base for Google. 

It is strange that Google has as many as 52 languages available for 
translation but not the 6th most spoken language till now. If Hindi can be 
included, I am sure Bengali can also be included as the languges are 
pretty similar to each other. 

Please consider my suggestion and let me know if I can contribute in any 
way.
