"Trayanovi vrata" [Mountain] Pass


Language variant: "Traianovi vrata" [Mountain] Pass

Explanation:
Принципът е прост: следва да се посочи българското звучене (коректна транслитерация) като същевременно се укаже с английски думи за какъв тип обект става дума.

Добре е да се вземат под внимание и следните съображения:
1. "ja" не е правилна транслитерация на българското "я". По-добре е да се използва "ya" или "ia".
2. "Gate" е превод, но от него не става ясно, че обектът е всъщност проход, а не порта.

--------------------------------------------------

Това е принципът на превод на български названия в случаи като този:

В кавички се транслитерира българското название по коректен и точен начин. На английски се обяснява с няколко допълнителни думи характера на предмета / обекта.
