To our Arabic and Hindi-speaking members:

I need the word "cinematographer" translated into the most accurate form (as in, something that makes sense and is in contemporary use for discussion of films ie, not literal/academic!).

This is what Google Translate spit out, which I am sure can be improved:

cinematographer (also commonly referred to as "Director of Photography")
Arabic: المصور السينمائي
Hindi: छायाकार

Thanks for any help!

Hello AK, as for Arabic, what google gave you was a good translation for the world cinematographer. If you want an accurate translation for "Director of Photography" then you go with "مدير التصوير" or "مخرج التصوير" although I like the first more because that what would come in the titles of Arabic films.

It's foul language/swear words, not 'bad' words, if that's what you meant.

Hindi: छायाकार

Chayakaar, छायाकार, is correct. It is used in regular movie discussions, although not as much as the English word for it.
