Interesting observation, but I do not know any translator.

Dear Archived_member2 ji,
Translations that we are talking of are handy and are easily available. Hence these are in vogue. Had the translations not been available, one would have referred to 'Tikkas' as we call them in Punjabi. Referring to Tikka is a time consuming affair. Hence we are moving from the culture of study to the visual culture. In translations we are not applying our grey matter to work and we take the thing as it is. It suits a human being.Hence we take a short cut by referring to translations.I do agree that translations are not at all reliable means to learning.
But it is short cut.

Regards.
