I want to add a Syrian Arabic translation and I have absolutely the same question: not sure if "yom waḥed" is idiomatic. I am going to use it anyway though, and hope someone can correct it if it is wrong.

I tend to supply romanization for Japanese, and I have no plans on stopping that. It helps me, and I'm sure it helps others as well.

vijayjohn wrote:I feel that Romanization can be misleading. I'm intuitively worried about this for Malayalam especially, where it's common enough to use <nj> for [ɲ] but <j> for [d͡ʒ], for instance. Plus in Dravidian languages, it can make words seem...slightly scarier than they actually are. But I can do that anyway for most of the languages listed here. (I hesitate with Syrian Arabic given that I already mistranscribed one word, and Georgian since I don't know the alphabet or more than a few random words of the language yet).
