General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Bulgarian term or phrase: вх. Г
Може да е елементарно, но чак сега се чудя кой вариант е приет
- да се ползва фонетично най-близката латинска буква (Entrance G)
- да се ползва буквата на 4-ото място в азбуката (Entrance D)
- да се пише на кирилица въпреки невъзможността това да се прави на стандартните клавиатури, или
- да се избегне възможното объркване, като не се ползва изобщо буква, а нещо друго - например римска цифра (Entrance IV).

English translation:Vhod G / vh. G
Explanation:
The Bulgarian Post Office has its own standard for the transription of addresses, and addresses should be transcribed, not translated, as they will be needed by the Bulgarian postman who is not obliged to read Bulgarian addresses translated into other languages.
Conversely, I have never heard any Bulgarians refer to "ulitsa Oxford" in London, for example. They all say "Oxford street", etc.
