Description

This PR adds a complete Bangla (বাংলা, bn-BD) translation of the README.md to make the Hermes Agent project more accessible to the global Bangla-speaking community. Bangla is the 7th-most-spoken language globally, so this expands Hermes' reach with no behavioral or footprint cost — pure documentation, following the existing pattern set by the Spanish, Chinese, and Urdu translations.

Changes made:

  • Added README.bn-BD.md with a full, culturally accurate translation using the proper Bengali-Assamese script.
  • Added the Bangla language badge/link to the main English README.md (alt="বাংলা" for accessibility).
  • Added the Bangla badge to the translated READMEs (README.es.md, README.ur-pk.md, README.zh-CN.md) and backfilled the missing Spanish/Urdu self-link badges there, so every language switcher shows the same set.
  • No <div dir="rtl"> wrapping needed — Bangla is a left-to-right script, so the standard LTR markdown layout renders correctly.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • This change requires a documentation update
  • Documentation / Translation addition

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Verified that the Markdown renders correctly on GitHub, with the Bengali-Assamese script displaying properly and all anchored links resolving.
  • Verified that cross-links between the English, Spanish, Chinese, Urdu, and Bangla READMEs navigate correctly.
  • Verified that the badge renders as Bangla (Latin) on Shields.io — the native বাংলা is preserved in the alt attribute because Shields.io's bundled badge fonts lack full Bangla glyph support.

Checklist:

  • My code follows the style guidelines of this project
  • I have performed a self-review of my own changes
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation

Thanks for adding a Bangla README. Bangla is not present in current main, so the contribution remains useful; this patch needs a few corrections before it is ready to salvage.

Problems

  • README.bn-BD.md:24 (and several later links) wraps official URLs in google.com/search redirects. Current README.md:21 and README.md:125-136 use direct destinations.
  • README.bn-BD.md:175-180 has two table headers with an editorial/generated sentence at line 177 between them; that sentence is not README content.
  • README.bn-BD.md:248-249 creates .venv inside the checkout. Commit c6c1fd8b6b6828361bc117b532848537904ac562 changed current README.md:235-244 to create the manual-install venv outside the source tree because an in-checkout venv can be deleted by a relative-path command.
  • The provider enumeration at README.bn-BD.md:24 was deliberately removed from the English source by 8e356eccea34214252955f5035ebef379518b760; current README.md:21 links to the provider documentation instead.

Suggested changes

  • Refresh the translation from current README.md, replace the Google redirects with direct links, and remove the duplicate/generated table material.

Please link directly to the official provider pages rather than through google.com/search redirect URLs. Current README.md:21 uses direct targets and the current source now links to the providers documentation instead of enumerating this provider list.

This is an editorial/generated instruction, not README content. Remove it together with the preceding duplicate table header, leaving the single header at lines 179-180.

Refresh this from current README guidance: commit c6c1fd8b6b6828361bc117b532848537904ac562 moved the manual-install venv outside the checkout to ~/.hermes/venvs/hermes-dev, because an in-tree venv can be deleted by a relative-path command.
