This is the difficulty in Khmer translation, only 5 words. We have to consider the situation in order to use the right word.

You can see the texts needed at http://dev.laptop.org/translate/km.

For example,

Original  	                     Translation
Name:                              ឈ្មោះ:

Back                                 ថយ​ក្រោយ
Done                                 រួច​ហើយ
Next                                  ថតទៅ​មុខ Confused
