Instructions for বাংলা submissions:
For Bangla submissions, please use the following link to type in your story.
Select Bangla from the language drop down at the top left corner of the input box. (no need to install anything)
Just type in english as phonetic bangla (like it sounds and not like its spelled in bangla) and it will give you the bangla version. Its very similar to sampadak tools that we have used earlier.
When done, select all the Bangla stuff , copy and paste in a word document. Email the Word doc.
No need to format any text, as we will copy paste this text in our protichi format.
A special request: Please help us by not sending any text pdf files and or handwritten Bangla text unless you just don’t have computer access at all.
