Facebook has appointed "translator" to interpret Bangla status posted by users on the popular social networking site.Facebook took the move to filter the objectionable contents being posted in Bangla language which is socially derogatory in Bangladesh.Confirming the appointment of Bangla translator, State Minister for Posts and Telecommunications Tarana Halim today said, "The social networking site gave the appointment in response to a recent letter of Bangladesh.""In most of the cases, Facebook authority doesn`t take the objection over Bangla status into consideration because of their inability to understand the meaning of those objectionable Bangla words. That`s why they don`t acknowledge many issues as defamatory," pointed out Tarana.She said recently they protested objectionable Bangla words that were posted on the social networking site from two Facebook accounts, but the authority didn`t recognize those words as objectionable. "In this context, we requested Facebook authority for appointing translator."Tarana noted that now the translator, appointed two days ago, would be able to make the Facebook authority understand by interpreting the objectionable words that are socially derogatory in Bangladesh.On the other hand, Tarana Halim is going to sit with Facebook officials in Singapore on Tuesday (January 12) as part of her ongoing efforts to reach a deal with the social networking site for an admin panel in Bangladesh.The state minister had said her meeting with Facebook officials would review several issues and "I`ll also raise how many complaints related to social norms of Bangladesh were filed with Facebook authority."Apart from the meeting with Facebook, Tarana would meet Google and Microsoft officials and also go to Malaysia as she is set to meet her counterparts and visit "Telecom Malaysia".On November 30 last year, Tarana wrote to Facebook citing examples of how the network was misused forcing several women in the country to commit suicide and how the miscreants uploaded objectionable contents often exposing girls of Bangladesh to extreme miseries.Subsequently on December 6 last year, Facebook South Asian Public Policy Manager Deepali Liberhan and law-enforcement specialist in South Asia Captain Vikram Langeh visited Bangladesh and held meetings with ministers and security agencies.Earlier on November 22 last year, the Bangladesh government imposed temporary restrictions on Facebook and few messaging and calling apps on security grounds.The ban on the social network, however, was lifted on December 10.
