Re: Bengali ERV version
Just this morning I met with the copyright holders (secretary of BBS) of the three main Bengali translations to talk about jointly developing legal TheWord modules for all three. It looks hopeful but it will take some time.

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Jacob, I'm getting an error when the program loads saying that the file with Bangla in it is not long enough. I saved it as 'all files' with an .ont extension. But it still doesn't show up when I load TheWord software. Do you, or does anyone, know how to fix this? Thanks, LinkH I've never seen that...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
TI have downloaded the file and have a notepad with the Bangla Bible on it. How do I load it into TheWord? Read the basic instructions for TheWord... you put it in your 'Bibles' folder under 'TheWord' ProgramData directory (C:/ProgramData/Bibles in Windows7) and open the software and it should be t...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
jacob.hosanna, How can I download the Bengali/Bangla language module for e-Sword? That would be a great blessing. I have been invited to do ministry in Bangladesh. I do not find it as an option in the new software. Link Since about 2009, E-Sword has changed their module structure so it no longer ea...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
The font I set as default in the bengali.lng file and the OS is an adapted font I made which has already maximized the glyph sizes within the possible parameters; the problem is that Bengali has a lot of diacritics which extend high up and down below the main consonants. I guess it will just have to...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Hi Costas, I just fixed a OS Bengali font issue (Microsoft defaults Bengali to a font without latin characters, thus the boxes at the top), and now it shows the numbers. It looks like most of the problems have been ironed out (see screenshot) My one concern now is that the book names in the Bible tr...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Thanks! As you can see from the attached screenshot, all the display issues within the Bible window are now fixed (except the "previous chapter" and "next chapter" numbers. There still are the same type of issues on other windows--- for example in the window title bar at very top...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Great, that fixed the input problem; now I can type fully Bengali verse references and it find it no problem. Thank you so much. Within the Bible window, the green left-hand numbers are still latin numerals, as are the verse numbers within the text. On the top right, the red book name shows up fine ...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Another issue related to Bengali interface is that the Bible translation tab titles currently don't seem to support Bengali script (though they support Arabic!). Thinking that maybe it's an issue with a default font that doesn't have Bengali characters, I tried to change the default font for tab tit...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Most important: Verse reference search box , being able to type "দ্বিঃবিঃ ৩:৪" for "Deut 2:4". The reason this is most important is because when you are typing in Bengali and type numbers, the Bengali numerals are typed, not latin numerals. So even though most Bengali-speakers re...

Re: Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Hi Costas, Thanks for the quick reply! Bengali (a.k.a. Bangla) is the language of Bangladesh and the state of India in West Bengal, with about 240 million speakers. It has long literary history with a Nobel-prize-winning poet and is a beautiful language! You answered my first question perfectly; tha...

Bengali language UI, 3 translations, dictionary, etc
Hi Costas, Thanks for your wonderful software, it's already been a blessing to me. I'm interested in developing a bengali language interface, 3 translations, dictionary, etc. Seven years ago I made a unicode Bengali Bible module for e-sword, and two years ago I switched it over to TW. Bengali is the...
