1. info gettext
2. the Bengali in GNU/Linux Howto (www.bengalinux.org/howto/)
3. for specific questions, don't hesitate to ask us - we will be glad to
help

Regarding helping, the area in which we require the most help is the
GNOME translation project. (www.bengalinux.org/projects/gnome)
We need translators, beta testers and reviewers.
