Mahir Abrar
I do not understand why would you write Emma in hindi, tamil, but not urdu or bangla
J McCombie replied:
When I created this piece, Mahir, I included the translations I had available. So, the translation available to me for Urdu at that time is there … and my resources do not include translations for Bangla. I have not included most of the languages which more often than not translate the name into the same as the English version. These language pieces are made with the information I have at hand and cannot be made to reflect every language because the print or script would be so tiny the viewer would not be able to read any translation, especially at the smaller print, greeting card and iphone scales. That is why I usually place a note on each piece as well as in the description of my "Art of Language" Gallery which indicates if you wish a specific phrase, name, translation or certain background information included in your piece ... to drop me a line - that can be done through my e-mail link. ...J.
