I do some volunteer translation from time to time and sometimes I come across words and phrases that are either difficult to translate or I cannot decide whether to translate them at all (because they have become popular enough to be easily understood but for the sake of 'purity'should they be translated?) Some that come to my mind are the following. Please advise Nepalese translation or is it better to leave them as it is :

voice call

flu рд░реБрдШрд╛ рдЦреЛрдХреА ?

I've never heard anyone in Nepal saying Ratna Udyan, Mitra Bhag, Sungkhey Udyan. "Park" is now as Nepali a word as English and most of the words you mentioned above are as well. If you are translating for Nepal government or for some official documents, that's a different situation; otherwise, the use of the above "borrowed" words is just fine. What matters is who are you doing it for. If you are doing it for those Nepalis who can't read English, I don't see the need of rupantrit words.

Thanks to all ! Excellent suggestions. The translations I mostly do are government publications for general public. I prefer not to translate commonly used English words as they will be more uncomprehensable for common people anyway (Air Conditioner = рдмрддрд╛рдиреБрдХреВрд▓рдХ ??? wow !) but the proof-reader may point out that some words have not been translated.

Here are some more words that I would like to know Nepalese versions :

version / edition
salary / wage / renumeration / perk / allowances
mobile (as in mobile phone and mobile clinic)
general outpatient clinic
water fountain
centrepiece

pkreli,

There are a lot of English-Nepali dictionaries online. So much so, you can type in unicode and look for its meaning. I was a bit skeptical before I checked them, but to my utter surprise, most of them were extensive and well-researched. If you know contextual meaning of those words presented, you would be able to pick an appropriate translation that you are looking for.

Asking people here for translation is like an exercise of Nepali words. Obviously, a single dictionary would be better than all the suggestions combined. There is no need of reinventing the wheel.
