I like it. I'm always for expanding our available vocabulary. In fact I think
we should have a ruling that every translator must try to invent 1 new word
every week :) (and try is the key word here...)

Gasp! Before you make such an outrageous suggestion you should look to the left
and right, just to make sure Munzir is not there to call you on it ;).

Putting aside the Transliteration Vs. Transcription debate for a minute, if you
want my opinion I'm all for what your suggesting. I actually transliterated
gtranslator as جي-ترانسليتر back in the day. Is that what your
suggesting?

Salam,
Abdulaziz, (who is coming back on Wednesday. Y'all better clear a path! :p)
