Hello,
I will try to be specific and straight-forward. I read anthropology in University of Dhaka and I hold a top position in our class. Most of the papers and books we read for academic purpose are written in English. Moreover, I have written two academic papers for anthropological conferences in different universities (one for Shahjalal University, Sylhet, and one for Jahangirnagar University, Savar).
Moreover, I aspire to write short stories in Bengali. Therefore, I am a reader of Bengali literature. Akhtaruzzaman Illias, Shahidul Jahir, Kamal Kumar Majumdar, Jibananando Das, Binoy Majumdar Manik Bandopadhyay are my literary icons among others. I also read English literature.
I read newspapers, political commentaries regularly for my own academic purposes. And once upon a time, I was a community blogger too.
All I am trying to say is that I have a particular advantage regarding translation for not only having good writing skills in both of the languages but also for having an intimacy with both of the languages and cultures.
