Here's the image of the humourous 'translations', and my wife has helped me 'untranslate' some of them, but we're stuck on some:
Bill Gates has released Windows in a Bengali version called JANAALA 2016. Some terms which have been used:
Save - Basao Save As - Olah basao
Save All - Hokholre Basao
Help - Amare Basao
Mail - Sitti
Old - Furana
Replace - Bodlao
Run - Bhaago
Copy - Kofi
Cut - Khaato
Delete - Gulli Maro
Spreadsheet- Saddor Bisao
Database - Itar naam zanina
Exit - Baro
Compress - Tifa Maro
Mouse - Unduur
Scrollbar - Onthaki Hono, Honthaki Ono
Page Break - Khagoz Bango
My wife has been able to explain some of these, like 'Basao' is how you'd describe 'saving' beans or peas you take out of a pod. And Saddor Bisao' is like spreading a beadsheet.
I believe the 'dialect' of Bengali is Sylheti.
What are the rest of them?
