Need guide to add Bengali language

[Iftakharpy]

I want to contribute to this project by adding the Bengali language to the typing tests.

I haven't contributed to any open-source project before but I am confident that I would be able to do it but don't know where to start. And what's the best way to contribute to saving both my and your time.

Hoping for your advice.

You'll need a list of the 200 most used Bengali words

You can find one here : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hermitdave/FrequencyWords/master/content/2018/bn/bn_full.txt
(so take only the 200 first lines)

Then you need to create a bengali.json file in static/languages/ (take english.json as an example)

Then reference your newly created file in _list.json and _groups.json

See this for an example where I added Esperanto language

Its trying to install node-sass which if you check out their install guide requires node-gyp, that might be a good place to start.

Edit: this might also help - https://stackoverflow.com/a/54059596
Also its using python 3 some comments say it might need python 2.

I dont know if that counts as a solution or just a hacky wordaround but with NodeJS 14 it works fine, not with 15 and 16

When I installed firebase-tools functions/package-lock.json and package-lock.json files were modified. Should I add these changes to my PR?

No you should'nt, only add the files that have something to do with the addition of the Bengali language 😉
