Thank you for adding Bengali support. But the API does not support
Bangla yet. (I tried with 'bn' code, no avail)
Are you planning to add Bangla support to the API any time soon?

Thank you so much for adding support for Bengali.

I would like to know if it is possible to integrate this Bangla
transliteration editor in to my website's text area, such as
Wordpress. I tried some of the plugins and modified them to add Bangla
(such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/indicomment/ or
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-lang-transliteration/)
but could not make it work. Does the indic Bangla use same API and
interface as the indic Hindi? Please let me know.

I tried the gujarati transliteration and it works great - a great
first impression when I sent an email in Gujarati!
If there are any issues, I haven't seen them yet...maybe with more use
I'll see something and then will post it here.

Good work, kudos!

Hi Thanks for adding Nepali.
It works great! But there is a small problem. Whenever I type a period
(.) it should appear as purnabiram (।). In Nepali "।" is used instead
of "."
Because of this the users of my website are having problems and
complaining. How can I correct this?
Thanks.
Sam

Vinod Bhai I cannot understand how you can call this khub aj saras.
Errors as simple as the correct form of aavyo can't be praised.
Gujarati transliteration especially verbs do not function at all.

Sorry Google team. Tested out the transliterations. They have too many
errors.You can't seem to handle verb forms of Gujarati and Marathi.
Same goes for Sanyukta verbs in Nepali and the Namyogis for Marathi
and Nepali.
Please go slow. I have stated this in my reply to urdu which is
another unsuccessful attempt. Urdu transliteration is extremely
complex and you have a long long way to go.
