Radio MeCha today? Pleeeease? Like now? I have a pile of WWII-era Cyrillic-script books on my desk that need to be transliterated and cataloged. Anyone feel like providing musical inspiration?

what's the difference between translated and transliterated?

Transliterating is converting a non-roman alphabet to romanized letters (or vice versa). Translating is converting the words and meaning of the text from one language to another.

Sure, I'll play some music. No guarantees as to anything.
