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.
