Thank you.  Note that the word "LANGUAGE" at the very top of the file
should be replaced with the actual language name.

Also, please update the copyright to 2009.

Also, if you don't mind, can you tell me where you got the original
.pot file you translated?

As well, if you would, please provide a translated version of the
image file found in the main SquirrelMail images directory called
sec_remove_eng.png.  It can also be found in our repository:

http://squirrelmail.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/squirrelmail/trunk/squirrelmail/images/sec_remove_eng.png?view=markup

And who should be listed as the official language maintainers?  I
don't see your name in the translation itself...?  I'd need names and
email addresses of the maintainers.

Finally, in your testing, what did you add to functions/i18n.php?
Here is an example for Latvian.  Please show what you used.

$languages['lv_LV']['NAME']    = 'Latvian';
$languages['lv_LV']['ALTNAME'] = 'Latvių';
$languages['lv_LV']['CHARSET'] = 'utf-8';
$languages['lv_LV']['LOCALE'] = 'lv_LV.UTF-8';
$languages['lv']['ALIAS'] = 'lv_LV';

Note that LOCALE can contain multiple preferences in case the first
isn't found, such as:

$languages['sv_SE']['LOCALE']  = array('sv_SE.UTF-8','sv_SE');

Looking at what the rest of the free software world does, it looks
like many projects (e.g., KDE, Fedora) have a "bn_IN" translation and
a "bn" translation, although I do see that Debian also has a "bn_BD"
translation.  I am not an expert on Bengali, but I just want to make
sure we are synchronized with what everyone else is doing.

Thanks, we are very pleased to have your contribution!
