help required in translation of a few words

While doing the translation work in the kde-localization,
I had encountered a few words which needed a better 
translation than just simply using a transliterated
word. I know it is a slow process by discussing this
in the mailing list but I think this is the best way to
to discuss what malayalam word would best suit the purpose
, after all we dont need a localized OS which is hard to
comprehand by normal users. The translation team felt that
it is better to use a transliterated word for which
there is no word or there exists words which are a bit
hard to comprehend. After all we have to bear in mind that
the people who use this do not have trouble migrating from
or to.
The GNU-Malayalam localization team will be transparent 
in all its activities so that anyone who wishes to be members
of the translation team are always invited. We will very soon
set a cvs directory so that all those who are interested
could watch the progress. 
For those who cant type malayalama transliterated word word
would also do. Well to start with I am sending a list of a
