Is this translation or transliteration?

Yesterday I was at Chennai airport. Thats where my wife saw this signage. I find this very interesting. I can not speak, read or write Tamil. But visually looks like, for a single word toilet, Tamil language has two words. Hindi language has a single word for toilet which is प्रसाधन / शौचालय.

Would love to collect such photographs for all Indian languages. I would really appreciate if you can send such photographs, mail them at harshadk03(at)gmail(dot)com. Meanwhile I'll also try and collect.

Here are few more examples

Mall in US, California

Mumbai Domestic Airport

Bangalore International Airport
