Coming from Hindi background, I understand what you mean here.

I agree that for words commonly used (like “Mobile”, “Login”) you can just translate that _as is_ in Malayalam script. But for typical words (like “Categories”, “About”) you should try to translate that to pure Malayalam language if possible.

I believe a good starting point will be to look at what other Malayalam sites are doing. (For example: [Facebook in Malayalam language](https://ml-in.facebook.com/).)

I also granted you Reviewer rights for Malayalam language on Transifex.
