Thanks Taneem for your reply. I would also like to thank you very much for your past involvement. It seems you were not entirely convinced that there was a real need for a seperate bn_IN. Could you please enlighten us why? In a similar manner, could you Sayamindu please enlighten us why you are convinced there is a need for a seperate bn_IN translation? We usually require rather solid motivations why translation efforts for a language should be split, so could you please explain and summarize the significant differences in written Bengali and/or terminology that you think warrants the split efforts.
