Reading the Bengali you paste
- Script
- Bengali–Assamese script, written left to right, with a top line like Devanagari.
- Numbers
- Bengali digits (১, ২, ৩) are common in print, especially in Bangladesh.
- Mixed text
- Banglish — English words in Bangla speech, and Bangla typed in Roman script on phones.
- Names
- Names have Bangladesh and India spellings that differ in English (Rahman / Rehman).
From Bengali to English
- Politeness
- Bengali has three levels of "you": apni (respectful), tumi (familiar) and tui (very close); English has a single "you", so the translation carries politeness with words like "please", "sir" or "ma'am".
- Sentence order
- Bengali puts the verb at the end and English puts the verb after the subject, so sentences are rebuilt, not swapped word for word.
- Where it comes from
- Bengali is spoken in Bangladesh and in West Bengal, Tripura and Assam in India.
Example
You paste (Bengali (Bangla)):
স্থানীয় নির্বাচনের কারণে সোমবার স্কুল বন্ধ থাকবে। মঙ্গলবার থেকে যথারীতি ক্লাস শুরু হবে।
You read (English):
Due to the local elections, the school will remain closed on Monday. Classes will resume as usual from Tuesday.

Questions
Is the Bengali to English translator free?
Yes — up to 5,000 characters, 5 times a day, no sign-up.
Are names, dates and amounts kept?
The translator keeps names and figures as they are, but machine translation can slip — check dates and amounts against the original before you send.
Will a polite Bengali message stay polite in English?
It aims to: English has no separate polite "you", so the respect shows in the wording instead. Read it once before you send something important.
Can I paste Bengali typed in Roman letters?
Yes. Bengali typed on a phone in Roman letters, or mixed with English, is translated as a whole into English.
