 Bengali is one of the top 10 languages in the world. 250 million people use it.It is the fifth most spoken language.

Yet Samsung has little or almost no regard for this language as far as Samsung Keyboard app is concerned.The faults are many :

1.Font size  becomes too small when switched to Bengali.

2. The Bengali substitute for full stop which is a sign like this ( । ) ,is missing in Bengali keyboard.

3. Bengali word prediction or text prediction is too poor.Very few words are predicted.

4. The transliteration button tries to offer Bengali word prediction through Roman Alphabet Typing but it is not even half as good in text prediction as the biggest competitor app's ABC > BENGALI version is.

Please improve these shortcomings.

Samsung Keyboard has a great merit that it takes very little space in ROM and RAM  ( Hardly 50 mb compared to the 300 mb size of its rival app).

Your app would be the best,if you kindly improve the features I mentioned.

The Galaxy Tabs do have full support for Bangla. Can you switch to one of the dialects and then try again?Screenshot_20241115_192921_Samsung setup wizard_1000210085_1731727762.png

  • You missed noticing that I have an A34,not a Tab
  • Even in Tabs,Bengali Transliteration keyboard won't be different,because there is design fault in Bengali Transliteration keyboard.The fault is there is a full stop key on the right side of the space bar and Bengali language uses no full stop symbol. In the Bangali Transliteration (A-> অ)  keyboard ,there MUST  be a (। ) sign.
  • The number of predicted words in Bengali Keyboard is very few,compared to other keyboards apps.Please take this feedback.Samsung should strengthen its database of Bengali language. Whereas other keyboard apps have a database of almost 200 mb,Samsung keyboard app has only 45 mb size,so you can understand where it lacks. There is definitely a shortage in predicted words or I would not complain about it.I could easily replace my Keyboard app,but I prefer Samsung apps.
  • There shoukd be a definite option to add words that the app lacks and doesn't automatically add even after typing the same word several times.This happens in case of Bengali Keyboard, not English.             Please improve the Bengali Keyboard as it is used by millions of people in India and Bangladesh.
