What it is and what it does
Bangla is a calendar and numeral conversion library for Bengali language applications. It converts Gregorian dates into the revised Bengali calendar officially adopted in Bangladesh in 1987, returning structured data for year, month, day, weekday, season, and ordinal. It also translates English digit strings into their Bangla numeral equivalents. The package has no external dependencies and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
The library is designed for developers building Bengali-language applications, localization tools, or calendar interfaces that need accurate Bengali date representation. It handles the full calendar computation automatically and provides both programmatic access and human-readable Bangla text output for all calendar components.
Use it for
- Display current or historical dates in Bengali calendar format within a Bengali-language web or mobile application.
- Convert user-entered Gregorian dates to Bengali calendar for cultural or administrative purposes in Bangladesh.
- Translate numeric data (IDs, phone numbers, amounts) into Bangla numerals for display in Bengali interfaces.
- Generate Bengali calendar widgets or date pickers that show weekday, season, and ordinal alongside the date.
- Localize date output in Bengali-language reporting or document generation systems.
