Welcome back![edit]

I want to welcome you back to Wiktionary. I see you've been adding a lot of Marathi words, which is very exciting.

I don't read Marathi at all, but I looked जे-पॉप up on Google Translate, which gave me an audio pronunciation. That is very cool.

We now have a mentoring program if you are interested, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Best regards. --BB12 (talk) 08:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This edit looks more like a transliteration than a translation? —RuakhTALK 13:16, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed, many words from English, particularly technical and fictional ones are imported wholesale. It isn't uncommon to hear spoken Marathi where all the nouns are directly English. Either ways, the fictional device known as a 'flux capacitor' would be referred to the same way in Marathi, as both the terms 'flux' and 'capacitor' are commonly used in Marathi as they are in English.
