THE CHALLENGES OF IGAMNG LOCALIZATION IN BENGALI
iGaming localization is a new trend for Bengali language although many native Bengali speakers have been playing different types of online games for a long time. The main challenge of localization in Bengali language is whether to translate or transliterate any particular term. Translation might be helpful for new gamers but it is less likely to help the already existing players. In addition, Bengali tutorials for iGaming mainly use the original English terms to describe the game. It’s because these tutorials are made by experienced gamers who are already familiar with the English terms. Thus, transliteration becomes more suitable in many cases. For example, terms like “bet” and “transfer” should be transliterated though commonly used Bengali words are available to substitute them. However, game descriptions or terms and conditions should be translated properly in a meaningful way so that users don’t miss out on anything. Therefore, we need to maintain a balance between translation and transliteration.
In addition, Bengali language has few regional variations. The main two variants are Bangladeshi Bengali and Indian Bengali. The variation is negligible in many cases since both are neighboring areas. Meanwhile, the discrepancies between the main two regional variants can be resolved if we choose region-neutral Bengali words, which will be understood by the Bengali speakers all over the world. For example, the term “coin” has different but synonymous translations in many Bengali regions but the problem can be solved if we just transliterate the term, which is also commonly used by Bengali speakers.
Another important aspect to take into consideration for localization in Bengali language is the font distortion. Sometimes Bengali Unicode fonts get broken, though Unicode is supposed to appear uniformly everywhere. This unexpected issue persists in Bengali language, especially when the Bengali words appear on posters or game screens. This happens because in Bengali language, sometimes two letters join together to form a new appearance. For example, Bengali letter ন and ম might join together to form ন্ম which will have another type of pronunciation. It’s important to make a final review with context to avoid these issues and be able to achieve the best quality localization.
