How can I un-translate these humourous 'translations' Windows terms, from Bengali?
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?
