Translation

Google translate works great! Give it a try below! Type in Bengali (Press Ctrl+g to toggle between English and Bengali). When you are satisfied, just copy and paste it into your document.

Are you having trouble with this transliteration system?

Then try the Advanced Transliteration System from Google.

Hint: If you cannot write a particular word correctly, then press the Ω key in the toolbar to type in the literal character you are looking for.
