উইকিপিডিয়া:Bangla script display and input help

সংক্ষিপ্তসমূহ

Wikipedia heavily uses diverse scripts from numerous languages. It has adopted Unicode (UTF-8) as the "encoding" scheme for its websites. In order to view this Bangla version of Wikipedia, you need to have your computer set up to see web pages encoded in Unicode Bangla scripts. To do this, you need to have a Unicode capable browser and Unicode Bangla fonts. Modern browsers following open web standards like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome and current versions of Internet Explorer support viewing Bangla scripts (and indic scripts in general) once you have enabled unicode support in your operating system and installed the fonts.

If the rendering on your computer matches the rendering on the image, then you computer has automatically already enabled complex text support for Bangla and should be able to view text correctly in Bangla script.

However, this may not mean you will be able to edit text in Bangla. To edit (typing support) such text you need to have install the appropriate keyboard layout or software on your operating system for typing support in Bangla.

Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Viewing

Go through the following steps:

  1. Download the latest version of Internet Explorer (IE7 or later), Opera (Opera 9) or Firefox browser (Firefox 2.0 or later) or Google Chrome(Google Chrome)
  2. Download Unicode Bangla fonts from the web and install them on your operating system; quite a few of these fonts are freely available. Here is a list of web locations that host such fonts.
  3. Go to control panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Language, and check the "Install files for complex scripts and right-to-left languages" option. You will need your Windows XP SP2 installer CD to install these new files.
  4. Install Bangla support on your browsers:
    • On Firefox 1.5: Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Edit Languages..., and add Bengali as a language.
  5. Go to your browser's "view" menu and set the "character encoding" or "encoding" feature to: Unicode (UTF-8).
  6. If you want to change to a favorite Bangla Unicode font for your webpages:
    • For Firefox 1.5: Go to Tools -> Options -> Content tab -> Advanced... in the Fonts and colors section. In the pop up window titled "Fonts", select Bengali from the "Fonts for:" pulldown Menu and set a Bengali font of your choice for various kinds of fields like Serif, Sans Serif, Monospace, etc. to be shown on webpages.
    • For Opera 9: Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Fonts>International fonts>choose bangla from drop down list. Select the Bangla font of your choice. In most cases,opera automatically detects unicode support if you have it in your operating system and have installed the correct fonts, so you may not require the steps above.

Inputting

  1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Language, and check the option “Install files for complex scripts and right-to-left languages" and insert Win XP CD in your CD-ROM drive to install the files.
  2. Download and install any Bangla input interface software from the list provided near the end of this article.
  3. Follow the help guide/manual that comes with the applications for instructions on how to input Bangla. You should be able to input anywhere you need to type bangla provided the application is unicode compliant. Ideally, you should also be able to input Bengali directly into the edit window of this wiki in your browser.

ওয়েব ফন্ট সংযোজন

উইকিপিডিয়াতে কিছু দিন আগে ওয়েব ফন্ট সংযোজন করা হয়েছে। যার ফলে এখন কোনো কম্পিউটারে বাংলা ইউনিকোড ফন্ট ইন্টল করা না থাকলেও উইকিপিডিয়াতে বাংলা লেখা ঠিকভাবে দেখা যাবে। বাংলা ছাড়াও আরও অনেকগুলো ভাষার জন্যই এই ওয়েব ফন্ট চালু করা আছে। তবে আপনার ব্রাউজার এ ফন্ট দেখতে সমস্যা হলে আপনি এই ওয়েব ফন্ট বন্ধ করে আগের মত ব্রাউজারে নির্ধারিত ফন্টের মাধ্যমে উইকিপিডিয়া দেখতে পারবেন। তবে লগইন করা থাকলেই কেবল এটি কাজ করবে, লগইন করা না থাকলে ওয়েবফন্টে নির্ধারিত ফন্ট আবার সক্রিয় হবে।

বন্ধ করার জন্য উইকিপিডিয়াতে লগইন থাকতে হবে, এবার
  1. আমার পছন্দ লিংকটি ওপেন করুন
  2. অবয়ব ট্যাবে যান
  3. Enable font embedding (WebFonts) নামে একটি অপশন রয়েছে। এই অপশনের পাশের টিকচিহ্নটি উঠিয়ে দিন
  4. পরিবর্তনগুলো সংরক্ষণ করুন।
উইকিপিডিয়ার পাতাটি রিফ্রেশ করুন, পাতাটি এবার ব্রাউজারে নির্ধারিত ফন্টে দেখা যাবে।
