transbliterate

To translate from one language to another with little to no regard for the original meaning, only using (false) cognates, puns, and whatever other ideas the word or sound makes the transbliterator think of.

I would transbliterate "Canto a Stalingrado" as "I would but for stalled grace." Canto->I sing->I can't -> I would. Stalingrado-> stalin grado -> stalled grace.

Transliterated

The use of translation to give the definition of a word, given to the reader to make it easier to understand. It is also repeated for less misinformation

I transliterated the word *baka* and it meant idiot in Japanese to english
