Thanks for this very interesting post, which shows once more how multicultural London is! This means there are a lot of people in need of high-quality translation services there; when in need of a London translation service, always make sure you use a professional service.

Hi Rosalind,

I double checked this with Sanjoy, and the signs are transliterations of the English street names.

Good luck developing the game. Let us know how it goes – we’re only round the corner from Brick Lane…!

cheers
Jim

Hello Sanjoy,

I’m currently in the process of developing a game based around translation to be played in the Brick Lane area. I just came across this blog entry and am intrigued to know, as a translator, whether the Bengali street names in Whitechapel are transliterations of the English words or completely different Bengali words for the places?

I know this post is over a year old but perhaps you are still there!

Thanks in any case, and all best wishes,

Rosalind
