34 mins confidence: 
| seamless Okhondo, shakha bihin Explanation: Here "seamless" means that the school does not have a second campus or a second branch. All its activities are confined in only one campus. So, you can use, "Okhondo" or "Shakhabihin". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2006-07-24 17:52:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My opinion was because I found the definition of Seamless as: unified, all-in-one, one-piece, whole, continuous, unbroken smooth, perfect, faultless, uniform, unified, harmonious However, Jccantrell has given a very good choice in the English monolingual part. You can also use "Okhondo" if you accept his answer. |

| seamless Collegiate School (কলেজিয়েট স্কুল) ? Explanation: কলেজিয়েট স্কুল ------------- If you can't avoid the English words 'College' & 'School', then 'Collegiate School' is probably the appropriate answer. This is used in Bangladesh in real life, apart from 'school o college'. |

| seamless "স্কুল ও কলেজ" Explanation: I checked English to English answers of 'seamless' and like Mr Saleh I found Jccantrell's answer relevant and correct. In sum, according to Jccantrell's, "What I understand is that this school runs K-12 under one administration, in one set of buildings at one location. This is what I understand with seamless." So 'seamless' is a school that teaches up to K- 12, that it is both school and college in Bangladesh system. You see we have in Bangladesh some schools that have college sections like Viqarunnisa Noon School and College or Holy Cross School and College and there is no term like 'seamless' that describes 'both school and college' section and that is why we call simply 'school and college'. Although, 'akhondo' (অখণ্ড) is a good Bangla but does it necessarily convey the intended meaning to Bengali audience who are not aware of US school system? Therefore, I think it is difficult to have a suitable Bengali term for 'seamless' for one must recognize that all languages and cultures do not have same equivalent terms and concepts. So I suggest an explanatory translation of the term 'seamless'. As I do not know the following words, you can say 'amader protishthanti ekti laboratory school o college....' (আমাদের প্রতিষ্ঠানটি একটি স্কুল ও কলেজ....) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 days (2006-07-31 06:54:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To avoid any confusion, I would like to add here that 'স্কুল ও কলেজ' (school o college) should in no way be considered as meaning of 'seamless', rather it is a translation suggestion solely for this particular context. 'obichchinna' or 'okhondo' is good Bangla for 'seamless' when it is put separately or in relevant context as such cloth, as it is suggested in Bangla Academy Dictionary. 'Collegiate school' can be an option. |
