[Ankur-core] Bangla Dictionary and Encyclopedia: A Controlled Wiki
[Particularly to Jamil Ahmed and Golam Mortuza Hossain] Can some site be created where we will have a controlled wiki of a Bangla dictionary and encyclopedia. 'Controlled' in the sense that a particular team from us will have the right to edit or change or fix it, but anyone can add any suggestive entry there. Is it possible? Every related entry will be cross-hyperlinked, as it happens in a wiki. And to participate in it for an absolute un-developer like me, will I need to learn a lot of computer things? See, today or tomorrow Bangla OCR is going to arrive. And, when the electronic searchable database starts getting generated through that OCR and Bangla Unicode editing, we will need this thing. This Bangla Wiki. The only difference here will be that bengalinux will take the responsibility of this Wiki. Unlike the Wikipedia thing, where no one is the master. All the entries will be original: we may use materials from anywhere, as we learn from sources, but this will be in that sense 'authored': by bengalinux. As and when we get any time we will be creating entries for that. And all the created and suggested entries will get edited from time to time. I asked this question particularly to GMH and JA, because they have done works in this line. Some other people may have done it too, that I don't know about. Please, tell me, everyone, to get involved in this Wiki and Bangla (Indic) wedpage things, will I need to learn a lot of SW?

Sometimes answers-on-demand are just easier :-) No, I am sorry. People really read when they need it. The GNU-Linux book that I wrote in Bangla was kept on the GLT site for a long time. Around two years. Then, when we got the information that a lot of copies are getting printed out in different colleges, we decided to publish in hard copy primarily because the cost of a book for a student will be much less than a print-out. And, this Unicode and Bangla together is going to be there for a very very long time to come. A lot of people will start learning what it is. Why the Dictionary project of GMH does excite me that much? We are yet to enter into an electronic age, at least in Bangla, most probably because we lack an OCR, breaking the crucial text-database linkage. The whole Bangla lineage is entirely absent electronically. But, it will come, together with this Unicode thing that you people are doing here. Websites and database sites full of Unicode Bangla text: this is the future: we will need it, and as we need, people will read the primer too. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

While typing, all the more used things should always be within the three main rows. Use of 'hasanta' is not at all that common in modern Bangla, but the other job that is done by [/] now is conjoining, and that is pretty common, almost once every word in average, or even more than that. And moving just the little finger of the right hand helps in keeping up the speed, that will not be true for [\], every time for a conjoined letter right palm will get physically moved, when the bases of both the palms are fixed on the table, that is the natural position of the palms, and the healthy one for typing for long periods of time (ergonomic too). By just stretching the right little finger you cannot get [\]. You have to move it. This is true for both the keyboards I use, the TVS-Gold (it is a quite reputed one) and even the cramped keyboard of the Acer Aspire 3002 laptop. So, I think it will be true for any keyboard. This speed thing is so very important for the heavy bulk Bangla writers. So, I think, in no way it will be prudent at all to give the conjoining function to the [\] key. -1 - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Now, for the original point of the '-' (dash). This very syntax in Bangla, like some other ones, is a direct child of the Western syntax. And we use it exactly the way the Western syntax is used, even the concept of 'en' and 'em' dash are inherited from the West almost in a verbatim manner. So, then, the dash, there on the keyboard, does exactly that thing in Bangla what it was kept there for to do on the QWERTY keyboard in the first place. And still, we are going to pluck it away from there, and put somewhere else, while all the time the same symbol for the same work sits on the keyboard. Why, does it not seem forced? What are your reactions, Jamil, Runa and others? I am not sure why some friends here on the list want it like that. They must have their reasons. But, I am telling you my point. I really write quite a lot in Bangla. (And this 'quite' here is actually a British understatement, you can get that from www.saltlakesoft.com/dd-ts/bangla, and that is really a very small portion of my Bangla texts.) And if all my friends here decide on the 'displace-dash' project, I would finally have to resort on the same thing that Jamil has done quite a few times for me, that is, tweaking the 'Probhat' file, and de-displacing the dash again into its original place. Those people like me, who have to write really quite a lot, have to use touch typing, and that second lost every time I write a 'dash', after the day, adds up to considerable waste of time, together with the slowing down of the process and disturbing the thought-chain. And if you compare it with the 'non-joiners', how many times do we have to write those crooked conjoint consonants with non-joiners? Does it any way compare with the number of times we write the dash, or its 'em' and 'en' versions, that actually is very easily done with the 'autocorrect' function of the processor, replacing two dashes with an 'en' and three dashes with an 'em'. I think this mail was quite long. But, please take it as a voraciously Bangla writing old man's distress call. --- das - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Is that a valid use? It is valid. But, this kind of use should be progressively abandoned. 'ইলেকট্রিক' was suggested by grammar specialists, or even with 'hasanta' for the time being, like 'ইলেক্ট্রিক'। Though there is the 'ি ' there, which is less problem-some. But if it ended in 'অ', as Runa Bhattacharya once pointed out, like 'অক্ট্রয়' (octroi) , it looks primarily more awkward, like 'অকট্রয়'. But it works, you see, gradually people get used to it. When the English and other alien words started becoming received into the language, it was still a Sanskrit hegemony. And hence, many grammar rules were directly imported from Sanskrit. Like 'station', a popular version of the 'বাংলা বর্ণীকরণ' was 'ষ্টেশন', which was very correct according to Sanskrit 'ষত্ব-বিধি', till now you will see it in the signboards of the suburban all-purpose shops in the form of 'ষ্টেশনারি'. (The prescribed spelling is 'স্টেশন', or 'স্টেশনারি') This queer spelling with 'ষ' was done due to the Sanskrit 'ণত্ব-বিধি' of 'ষ' always getting added up with 'ট'. Or, say, Bangla 'ঘন্টা', was spelled as 'ঘণ্টা'. So, later, the highest Bangla grammar specialists, including Suniti Chatujje, suggested that for all directly Sanskrit words (বাংলায় যাদের আমরা তত্সম বলি, যারা মূল সংস্কৃতের সঙ্গে একই আছে) we will use Sanskrit grammar rules, like 'নির্ঘণ্ট' with a 'ণ' but for the changed and internalized and folk-root words, like 'ঘন্টা', it would be 'ন'. And when we are writing alien words (English, European, Arabic, Farsi, and so on) we will always avoid: 1. ণ and ষ 2. ঈ, ী, ঊ, ূ 3. ঋ and 'li' (i have forgotten the key in Probhat) 4. As much as conjuncts should be avoided as possible. This will depend on common-sense. And also 'ৎ' and 'ঃ' should be totally dispensed with.

[Ankur-core] SuSE and Bangla in Firefox 2.0b
Hello Friends For quite some time i was suffering from Bangla rendering in the native Firefox in SuSE, and the source code of 1.5.0.6 did not compile with '--enable-pango'. At last the version that worked is Firefox 'Bon Echo' version 2.0b Beta. Though i had to supply pkg-config, pango, gtk and glib, their latest stable versions, from outside, by compiling them. The native versions did not work. All Bangla renderings are now done seamlessly by 'Bon Echo' after i compiled it pango-enabled. The compilation took around 160 minutes on my ancient Athlon 1800 machine with equally ancient Seagate HD. dipankar das - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Ankur-core] What is Unicode
On Tuesday 25 April 2006 22:13, Jamil Ahmed wrote: Dipankar da, that will be great! :-) Thank you for that, dear Jamil, while many others were considering it as an insult. Here is my proposed correction list. But before that let me say one or two things: the focus of the discussion after my mail was 'insult'. What is insult? Expecting something very impeccable and perfect from a name, 'Ekushey' that itself proclaims a lot of glory? How? If one gets satisfied with something small and amateurish here, would not that be an insult? I actually got quite confused. If that was just an individual's webpage, the spelling mistakes would be bad taste, but nothing to be very disturbed about. But this has an added responsibility. At least i think it this way. But, if some people are hurt by my way of writing, i am really sorry. It was never the intention, in any way. If you read the mail, you can see there, actually i want to take part and share their pride. And remember the name tag: 'Ekushey', it means a lot. Really a lot. And when carrying its flag, one must become able enough to hold it. Or, it is sacrilege. 'Ekushey' was the biggest event in the history of Bangla Language. I really tried hard while using the word 'biggest', but could not remember anything else that i can place by its side. And in fact i personally liked the prose. The good point is it does not sound much like a translation, as many translations do. And the popular usage logic about Bangla spellings that Azad mentioned, i personally do stand by that view. Bangla is what Bangali-s speak. And the whole thing about India/Bangladesh Government/Individual was, as it seemed to me at least, a kind of hyperbole. In fact, how can we know if someone is in Bangladesh, and someone in India, or somewhere else? This was rubbish, in my (not-so-)humble opinion. I work in KDE 3.3 under SuSE 9.2, and in this environment, the rendering of lines and words has some problems, and i did not have the source file, and so, i am sending the proposed correction list as a broken, numbered item list. Here is the list: 1. In the heading: 'কী' in place of 'কি'. When there is an object in the question the correct spelling is 'কী', while, if the word stands just as a symbol of the interrogation, the spelling is 'কি'. Like, in the Bangla for, do you want to have some food, we use, 'আপনি কি খাবেন?', and when asking what exactly you want to eat, rice or bread, we ask, 'আপনি কী খাবেন, ভাত না রুটি?' In the years of those long past jounalist days, we used this question as a thumbrule, without going into the intricacies of grammar. 2. In the subtitle paragraph, the center aligned one, i get no problem. In the first paragraph, second line, i think the better option is 'পিছনে' in place of 'পেছনে', the used one is till now a local dialect one, and not only it is not an all-pervasive and recognized one, the word is not pronounced that way in some other dialects. 3. Para 1, line 2. 'আবিষ্কার' in place of 'আবিস্কার'. 4. The para 1 line 3 entry 'হিসেবে again needs a bit clarification. The thumb rule used for import words by both Calcutta University and Dhaka University is that, when we are using import words in its original form of import, the original spelling should be used. For both the 'তত্সম' words, that is, the imports from Sanskrit, and imports from Farsi, Arbi, and even European ones. That is why we are writing 'হিসাব', though we are pronouncing 'হিশাব', because it is the original form of import from Farsi, or say, we write 'সাবান', though we pronounce 'শাবান', because it is the original form of import from French. Exactly the way, we spell 'ধূলা', though we pronounce 'ধুলা' as in 'ধুলামাটি', because the original form of import from Sanskrit is 'ধূলা'. But, when the 'তত্সম' (the original import, literally, same as that) becomes 'তদ্ভব' (literally, what it becomes) we spell it in the peoples' pronunciation way, like 'ধুলো', here no more we use the long 'ঊ'. Now, the word used here, 'হিসাব', if used in the original import way, we can write it like that, because it is 'তত্সম', but, if it changes, becomes 'তদ্ভব', we have to use the popular pronunciation way, and then, to be realistic with pronunciation, the use should be, i think, 'হিশেবে'. The way 'জিজ্ঞাসা করা' has become 'জিগেশ করা' for some writers who want to go the 'তদ্ভব' way. Or, 'গ্লাস' and 'গেলাশ'. 'স্টেষন' and 'ইস্টিশন'. I prefer the 'তদ্ভব' way, but it is witer's preference. Now, if someone remains the 'তত্সম' way, (s)he must go by the proper form of import and write 'হিসাবে', or, the 'তদ্ভব' way, 'হিশেবে', which may look outlandish to many eyes till date. 5. 'দেয়া' in line 3, and 'হতো' in line 4, i propose to replace with 'দেওয়া' and 'হত'. Here, the same logic as in (2). Exactly the same way, 'দেবার' with 'দেওয়ার' in line 5, paragraph 1. 6. In line 6, paragraph 1, 'ইংরেজী'. I think it has a problem. All variations on the same theme, 'ইংরেজি',

Why don't people remember, the name attached with the work 'Ekushey' has a lot of glory and pride attached with it? And so, any work that carries the 'Ekushey' tag must at least have a literacy level befitting to it. And why it happens with Bangla, it is not at all frequent to see an English webpage with that many horrible spelling mistakes. Even very common words like 'আবিষ্কার', 'ইত্যাদি', 'কারণ' are all wrong there. And phrases like 'সবচাইতে' carries within it a regional dialect root that must be avoided, what should go here is 'সবচেয়ে', or 'সবার চেয়ে', or, 'সবার থেকে' or something like that. And so many more problems like that. I was really pained to see 'Ekushey' advocating illiteracy like that. Even if that is not the case, people must maintain the minimum required level of seriousness. The work is probably bigger than any of us individuals. Why can't someone check the whole thing with a dictionary before keeping it there on the site. I can volunteer from now on to check the texts before you people put it there, if you want it.

But there are some practical problems with this solution. I am giving you all the details: The input pdf was 420 KB, exported from OOo 2 with quite a few equations and matrices and Bangla text in Solaiman Lipi. The output gs file is 369 MB, and it took 29 minutes 4 seconds to complete the command. All this time no other user process was running. The next step was to create a pdf from this ps, because, i have to send it, say to the printer. And this again too 11 minutes 3 seconds for ps2pdf14, and the output pdf was 98 MB. And the screen resolution is quite bad too, though i think this will come OK in print, because gs print-optimizes it. The page format is US letter, though i think it can be adjusted with the options. And see, the original file was not very big, it was 36 A4 pages of 12 point Solaiman Lipi and some maths. And you know, how resource hungry gs is, does not allow anything else to de done, at least on my Athlon 1800+.

[Ankur-core] The 'r+a' Problem
As dear friend Jamil Ahmed suggested in feeding bugs to the hungry parrot, here are two more: The 'khanda-ta', when typed in directly from the keyboard by 'Shift+8' does not go properly with the newline algorithm. Write any word with that, and type more characters before the word that has it, and it will break the line before this 'khanda-ta', though no interim space is there. The table heading. In the ongoing document, i inserted a table, with no extra formatting, just some plain words in Solaiman Lipi. Now, in the PDF, the table is coming with a bold-and-not-so-beautiful-italic of those same words. This thing maybe pretty simple, that some hidden formatting of the table is remaining somewhere in the default. But the odt is always showing the correct thing, and the pdf always showing them that way. And is there any way to copy and paste some small amounts of Bangla text from the odt file into a graphics program like 'dia'? The OOo Draw is either not very easy and elegant till now, or maybe it will need a lot of training, but i need some very simple diagrams, with some Bangla text in it, is there any alternative? -- dipankar das --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

And can someone provide a step by step guide for how to make it work in MSW-XP? Is there any how-to?

[Ankur-core] Problems in OOo 2 Font and PDF
I started writing a Bangla text around August '05 with OOo 1.9 that was compiled by Sayamindu Dasgupta with some supports from OOO 2, that let me write Bangla very nicely together with the marvelous equation writing system in OOo 2. This was a big help because this text was on Marx's value algebra in Bangla. Then, around start of October i installed OOo 2 that was then available on Net. Now, when i am continuing to write this text, some problems are there. Like, many words with 'ba' (ব), say, 'kabja' (কব্জা), 'jabda' (জব্দ), 'abdi' (অব্দি), 'shabda' (শব্দ) have become mangled. They were not like that when i wrote it. So, this is a problem that came with the version 2, or maybe the changed version of 'ben'. Another problem is that some headings of the tables have changed formatting in the PDF file while they are quite OK in the *.odt format. Even when saved as *.sxw the problem is not there. How can i solve it. If any of you want this file i can send you. But it is pretty big already, with around 30 pages of A4 text in Solaiman Lipi and lots of equations and matrices and all: the ODT file 737 KB till today morning. And is anyone there, with whom i can communicate about Bangla DTP in OOo? This is very important in the sense that all the small DTP commercial units work with pirated MS things, and suffer a lot from the usual MS hassles, and obviously the biggest threat being the virus. If we can create Linux + OOo alternative for them, it will be a good thing to do. Only one big problem is there, how to get two consecutive pages on one A4 physical page laid out in landscape, like Adobe Pagemaker can do. If this can be done, and saved as PDF, the problem will be solved. -- dipankar das --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
