English to Arabic translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) | | English term or phrase: ampoule & vial | In Arabic both of them means -> Qa'nenah
But, I have both of them like this (ampoule/ vial ) for so many times.
My only choice was to transliterate them, just to distinguish between them in Arabic.
Any other suggestion?

I think that there may be a definite technical difference between them, so they are mentioned together in the same document.

Asker: Hello Ihab,
your answer proves my point of veiw, which is both of them are the same in Arabic. so to be transliterated, to my mind is the way. Right, Ihab?
