I do some volunteer translation from time to time and sometimes I come across words and phrases that are either difficult to translate or I cannot decide whether to translate them at all (because they have become popular enough to be easily understood but for the sake of 'purity'should they be translated?) Some that come to my mind are the following. Please advise Nepalese translation or is it better to leave them as it is :

collect call
voice call
cancer अर्वुदरोग ?
flu रुघा खोकी ?
air conditioner
warranty / guaranty
contract
agent / agency
Mandatory Provident Fund अपरिहार्य सँचय कोष?
Licence अनुमतिपत्र ?
Ombudsman
parallel goods
Parks
Tropical 
cyclone / typhoon आँधिबेहरी?

तल मैले दिएका बाहेक मुल्मिज़ ले दिएका शब्दानुबाद  प्राय सबै संग मेरो समर्थन छ|
warranty = प्रतिज्ञा पत्र 
agent =  दलाल (मध्यस्थ पनी मिल्छ तर दलाल बढ़ी उपयुक्त छ |)
agency = माध्यम, निकाय 
Park ‍= उद्यान  (बाग़ पनी मिल्छा तर त्यों चाँही फूलको बगैँचा लाइ बढ़ी उपयुक्त देखिन्छ )
Tropical = नातिशीतोष्ण ( न अति शीत, न अति उष्ण, हाई स्कूल को भूगोल मा पढेको ४० बर्ष अघि )
Parallel goods = समानान्तर बस्तु
बांकी शब्द हरुको मैले थाहा पाए अनुसार:
collect Call  निशुल्क  वार्ता ? ( कसैलाई अझ उपयुक्त शब्द थाहा छ की?)
voice call  शब्दाह्वान ? मुखाह्वान? मुखवार्ता? (कसैलाई अझ उपयुक्त शब्द थाहा छ की?)
cancer अर्वुदरोग ठीक छ

Air Conditioner   बतानुकूलक
Mandatory Provident Fund  अनिबार्य  सँचय कोष
Licence अनुमतिपत्र  ठीक छ
cyclone / typhoon आँधिबेहरी ठीक छ

I've never heard anyone in Nepal saying Ratna Udyan, Mitra Bhag, Sungkhey Udyan. "Park" is now as Nepali a word as English and most of the words you mentioned above are as well. If you are translating for Nepal government or for some official documents, that's a different situation; otherwise, the use of the above "borrowed" words is just fine. What matters is who are you doing it for. If you are doing it for those Nepalis who can't read English, I don't see the need of rupantrit words.

Park  को अर्को अनुबाद निकुंज पनी हुन्छ | बिशेष गारी यो wild animals park माँ उपयुक्त हुन्छ|

एमेराल्ड को कुरा पनी शत प्रतिशत सही छ|   धेरै जसो यी  अनुवाद्हरू
प्राज्ञिक सन्दर्भमा  बढ़ी र ब्याबहारिक  सन्दर्भमा  कम  उपयुक्त छन|

Thanks to all ! Excellent suggestions. The translations I mostly do are government publications for general public. I prefer not to translate commonly used English words as they will be more uncomprehensable for common people anyway (Air Conditioner = बतानुकूलक ??? wow !) but the proof-reader may point out that some words have not been translated.

Here are some more words that I would like to know Nepalese versions :

version / edition
salary / wage / renumeration / perk / allowances
mobile (as in mobile phone and mobile clinic)
general outpatient clinic
water fountain
centrepiece

pkreli,

There are a lot of English-Nepali dictionaries online. So much so, you can type in unicode and look for its meaning. I was a bit skeptical before I checked them, but to my utter surprise, most of them were extensive and well-researched. If you know contextual meaning of those words presented, you would be able to pick an appropriate translation that you are looking for.

Asking people here for translation is like an exercise of Nepali words. Obviously, a single dictionary would be better than all the suggestions combined. There is no need of reinventing the wheel.

mobile clinic = घुम्टि स्वास्थ चौकि

I am actually 53. rememeber, in our times, high school was in general from 8th grade to S.L.C.
pkreli:
Air comditioner = वातानुकूलक हुनु पर्नेमा बतानुकूलक हुन गयेछ , हाड नभएको जिब्रो लटपटीएको जस्तै देवनागरी लिपि नभएको की बोर्ड लटपटीयेछ|
Centerpiece = केंद्रबिंदु हुन सक्छ|   
Youwanpras: आगो ताप्नु लाइ अंग्रेजी मा: To sit by the fire  भन्छन |
Chickentandoori:

जुठो को चांही Exact English Word मैले अहिले सम्म पाएको छैन| Approximate translation हुन सक्छ|

Contract Agent = करारी दलाल| ठेक्का प्रतिनिधि  पनी हुन सक्छ कुनै कुनै सन्दर्भमा|

Imaging = छायांकन

Pumping = खिंचने काम, खिंचाब,

Valve = वहाब द्वार  (Like in water valve ) - यो चांही अंदाज मात्रै हो| यसको शाब्दिक अनुवाद पनी हुन सक्छ|
