Install WordPress in Bangla

Install WordPress in Bangla

WordPress displays in U.S. English (en_US) by default. But the software has the built-in capability to be used in any language.. Here are the procedure for different WordPress version to Install WordPress in Bangla

WordPress v4.0 and above


1) Download the bn_BD.mo language file  from http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/ . The naming convention of the .mo files  is based on the ISO-639 language code (e.g. bn for Bangla or Bengali) followed by the ISO-3166 country code (e.g. _BD for Bangladesh). The full path of.mo file is http://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/bn_BD/trunk/messages/ .

2) On your site server, create a new folder in your /wp-content directory called /languages.

3) Upload the .mo file to the languages folder you just created

4) Now go to Settings > general > Site Language you will find bn_BD at the top of the list. Select and save settings

WordPress v3.9.2 and below


1) Download the bn_BD.mo language file following the same procedure as mentioned above
2) On your site server, create a new folder in your /wp-content directory called /languages.
3) Upload the bn_BD.mo file to the languages folder you just created
4) Open your wp-config.php file in a text editor and search for:

define ('WPLANG', '');

5) Edit this line according to the .mo file you’ve just downloaded, e.g. for the Bangla language you must add :

define ('WPLANG', 'bn_BD');

6) Once you’ve added your language code, save the file.
7) Upload the modified wp-config.php file into the WordPress root directory.
8) Open your browser and go to your WordPress site. It should now display in the newly-installed Bangla language.

If you are installing fresh WordPress there is even easy procedure as mentioned below:
1) Go to http://wpcentral.io/internationalization/ and find Bengali under Local Name Column
2) Click more at right side
3) Click “Download WordPress in Bengali” button
4) It is full WordPress software with pre-installed Bangla . Upload this to your hosting and follow standard procedure of installing of WordPress.

WordPress has the built-in capability to be used in any language and install WordPress in Bangla is an five minutes task. After installing WordPress in Bangla, you can write post/page in Bangla language. The final one I mentioned ( preinstalled Bangla WordPress) is supported for version 4.0 ( at the time of writing this blog) but it is more completed. If you want version 4.1/latest in Bangla you have to follow procedure under section WordPress v4.0 and above .
