Who wants to write Bangla Articles?

Arnab · #1 January 4, 2004, 06:59 PM

I want a show of hands (or replies to this post) to know who among you want to write Bangla articles about Bangldesh cricket.

Also, if you already write Bangla articles, I want to know what software you use to write these articles. Do you use Bijoy or some other Bangla typing based software? Or do you use some transliteration software like Bangsee Alpona or Bornosoft?

We already have the technology to put both types of articles on the web, but articles written in Bijoy and similar softwares will be rendered better on the webpages as of now. On the other hand, transliteration softwares are easy to work with.

apparently no one... Yup we are all bengali illiterates on this board....

that reminds me, where is pompous these days?? I am starting to miss him

Yeah. Perhaps I am asking the wrong crowd. Many of these "patriotic" posters probably won't be able to construct a whole Bangla sentence without a few grammatical and spelling errors anyway.

I was gonna add "losers!", but I am hoping a few people will prove me wrong.

hey man you just called me a loser. I AM a loser but you don't gotta point it out like that...
I wouldn't be able to contruct a decent sentence in Bangla. I often get teased in my house for a Bangla spelling mistake that I uttered 3 years ago. I spelled "Bangladesh" wrong!

Utterance of bangla spelling is really hard. you know how teachers in school say "Spell it out" when a kid can't pronounce certain words- I think they should do the opposite in Bangladesh "Pronounce it out" for the spelling.

Chill! I have been viewing triumph clips and visiting Maddox's site recently. That might explain my curmudgeonly attitude.

If anyone here can write in bengali, then I can edit the spelling and grammar. But I am not gonna write in bengali because my bengali typing speed is 'very very' low.

We still cant get regular english articles, how can we get bangla!!!

I use Calcatta and it is real easy to type, still I hate it. I would rather write in English any day.

It is not about being illetarate, or lazy, it is simply too much work. So please don't insult our members.

Some times insult is the only way to incite.

If I write Bangla article in English (Like: Bangladesh tader prothom test khela jitte jacche....Bangladesh is going to win their first test match).

If anyone can translate that into bangla font then I might be in work.
Thank you

Shafi, yes you can. There's a free version of the program "Bornosoft" that lets you write like that. THey have a very nice help section too. Go download it immediately nad start using it. Tell me if it's easy. I think it is.
