Instructions from the early days of Bengli l10n from '''Ankur Bangla Project''' ([http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/text/Bangla-HOWTO read-more])
 
''While translating, remember not to kill the language ;-). Do not overdo the translation - do not use Sadhu Basha . Also, when the computer is addressing the user, it is samman-shuchak (karun, balun, etc) while the computer is addressed by karo, balo, etc. If a Bangla equivalent sounds too out of the ordinary - keep the English word (in Bangla script) - it can be always changed/improved later. DO NOT overdo anything.''
