Awesome work guys! That's a huge achievement. :-)

@Swarnava: We had a bn_IN translation sprint for Firefox OS back in
December wherein we had achieved quite a significant amount of translations.

We might soon be having another translation sprint to complete the rest of
the translations. Uptil then, I would suggest you to follow the Ankur India
list for further announcements.

Regards,
Sayak

Hey all,
First and foremost, congratulations to all who have worked on the Hindi
localization. For the Bengali localization team, I think we need to have
another sprint soon. In the SAARC meeting (held in Nepal on the 23rd and
24th of this month), getting Firefox OS in maximum possible South Asian
languages is one of the main targets for 2013.

That's a good goal to have. So, did any of the points from a previous
discussion at <http://arrbee.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/mozilla-l10n-discussion-notes/>
get addressed ?

With regards to the sprint, is it waiting on something other than
previous participants having a convenient time slot of ~4 hours ?

Sweet, thanks, congratulations to you all.

It'd be great to get that landed on hg.m.o, too.

Well, I was not aware of this discussion-notes else would have made sure to
bring it up. Just putting down the few things we had discussed during the
SAARC meet up (from localization point of view):

- Documentations to be there in local languages for the Wiki pages (well
seems like in Bangladesh, people are not much in support of reading the
wiki pages in English)
- Bangladesh team has managed to get the Bengali spell checker for
Firefox. If we can get our glossary ready, we can get our spell checkers as
well (Robin from Bangladesh agreed to help us on this).

I think Arky along with some other localization members has managed to get
a template for localization ready. The general problems we face like
whether to translate the brand names or just transliterate them etc are now
prototyped and documented. So no more conflicts on these topic...just need
to abide by the available rules. So we can get hold of this document, go
through it once before the next sprint (whenever we plan for it).

This is a bit unfortunate. I'd have thought that those who had
attended the meeting would have a memory of the discussions and
outstanding issues.

This is something that has been the bug-bear. Swarnava has been
continuing to do work on SUMO, I'm not well acquainted with how much
work remains.

The spell checker for bn_IN has been around for a long time now. It is
used via hunspell. I am not too sure what you mean by "glossary". But,
a standardized list of terms for Bengali, running into over 100,000
words exists. And, it gets continuously refreshed and reviewed.

Doesn't the Style Guide make specific references to what
terms/trade-marks/brand-names can be translated/localized ? At least
that is how Soumya (Deb) explained it to me.

[Swarnava Sengupta]

just need to localize all support article in Bengali, though this
project is huge and i am the only one who is involved from bn-in, this
proccess is going bit slow :), let me know if i can help in any other
