Hi I’m learning Bengali. I was excited to find that I can set Bengali as the Translation language and get a Bengali translation of the English subtitles. This could be a game-changer for learning a language that has very limited learning resources available.
However it doesn’t quite give me what I need. The word order and logic of Bengali is completely different to English, so I often need to be able to select various words or sub-phrases and get translations of them in order to get my head around how how a sentence is constructed.
But LR doesn’t allow you to select the translated text. What I need to be able to do is select words and phrases within the Bengali script and be able to get translations of those. If it would let me select them and get a Google Translation via my Chrome Google Translate extension that would be ideal.
That would also allow you to have it read out to you, which would be really helpful. Otherwise I have to go to Google Translate on my phone and manually type out the Bengali script in order to get words pronounced (which is slow and can be very tricky because Bengali conjunct consonants are often a real challenge to decipher).
Google translate also provides you with a romanized transcription of the Bengali script, which is incredible useful.
