English to Bangla Dictionary for Android

English to Bangla Dictionary for Android

Update 10 Jun 2013:
181,702 Downloads with 4.37 average rating 🙂

It’s being a long time since we planned to develop a Bangla language related application for Android. After a long discussion we decided to create a Bangla Dictionary based on Google Dictionary. The main-pain was the font, Android is not yet matured enough to handle Unicode. After some challenges we successfully integrated universal Bangla font with our new Android app. We have published the app in the Android Market. The day we published the app totally amazed us with an overwhelming response, we never expected our app will be loved by so many people. Few days ago the total downloads exceeded 5000 with 30 ratings averaging 4.6 / 5 . The number may not be that high for an international audience focusing app, but its real high for Bengali people focusing app.

That’s why I decided to write an up to date post on how to create an IFrame based Facebook Application using PHP. I am using PHP SDK (3.1) and Graph API, you have to download PHP SDK from here. Well, I am covering the coding part here and not going through how to create and setup a Facebook Application, if you don’t know how then this article might be a good read.
