Marathi/Hindi Language and Translation
This domain tests translation between English and Marathi or Hindi, and formal language use in office correspondence.
Translation principles
- Translate meaning, not word order; use the target language's natural sentence structure.
- Keep the official register: कृपया, सादर, प्राप्ती, पोच.
- Transliterate proper names consistently; keep numbers, dates, and reference numbers exactly as given.
- Use standard administrative terminology and avoid dialect or slang.
Worked example
English: Please acknowledge receipt of this letter. Marathi: कृपया या पत्राची प्राप्ती कळवा. Or: या पत्राची पोच द्या. Hindi: कृपया इस पत्र की प्राप्ति की पुष्टि करें. Reasoning: a literal acknowledge does not translate well; the target uses प्राप्ती कळवा or प्राप्ति की पुष्टि करें to convey the official action.
Traps
- Word-for-word translation producing unnatural word order.
- Translating idioms literally.
- Changing names or numbers.
- Mixing formal and informal pronouns inconsistently.
