ایس۔ٹی۔بی۔ڈی اِنجن


Explanation:
It is recommended generally that whenever an abbreviation is used in a sentence and we are to translate the sentence, it is better to keep it as it is. However, if its full form is being mentioned in the sentence, then it can be translated accordingly.
Another rule is, when you are translating or transliterating an abbreviation/acronym, use hyphens between the letters to indicate to the reader that these letters are somehow interlinked, thanks.
It literally means starboard.
Port and starboard are nautical terms for left and right respectively. Here, starboard (STBD) is in consideration.

Example sentence(s):
  • He went ahead with the STBD engine ahead with the STBD engine....
  • ....وہ ایس۔ٹی۔بی۔ڈی اِنجن کے ساتھ تیزی سے آگے گیا

سٹار بورڈ (ایس ٹی بی ڈی) انجن


Explanation:
میری رائے میں ایس ٹی بی ڈی سٹار بورڈ کا مخفف ہے۔ ترجمہ کرنے کے لیے ضروری ہے کہ ہم اسکی مکمل صورت لکھ دیں تاکہ سمجھنے میں آسانی رہے۔
