I think you need not to write a big mail for explaining your complains.
I believe no one shut down your opportunities yet. Just suggest your
opinion followed by the mistakes. That is what we don't do. People
complains about many things on may list/places. But it's also very
painful for us (who are related with Bangla Computing and l10n) to
believe that some people are very poor who cannot afford 2 minutes for
submitting a proper feedback.
Don't take my words wrong. I just want to make you understand that we
are working without *any* profit and কাজের বিষয়ে কেউ কটু মন্তব্য করলে ভালো
লাগেনা।
One more thing. Bangla became very handy in Bangladesh. For example বাড়ী
became বাড়ি, হাতী became হাতি so no one actually complains much about
spelling. Work is only matter for us. It's hard to believe that Bangla
version came on the site after almost 2 years of Hindi. :( Poor Language na?
I'd like to see your suggestions followed by the mistakes I have done so
far.
Thank You...

It was so nice to see the good translation, but, it was so horrible and
painful to see the level of spelling mistakes. 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.
Coloniality is what coloniality does. We have to give ourselves the dignity
for others to attach that with us.
