Please re-read the question. Yes, it's not quite clear, then read my answer.
And, come on, do you really think Google Translator can provide quality good for any production?
At best, it can only assist in understanding fragments of foreign languages, but well to far from adequate automatic translation.

What could it possibly mean?

The question makes no sense.

There are no "English alphabets", there is only one. (Okay, perhaps this is just a problem of your English knowledge, but let's go forward…) As to "Marathi alphabet", this is not something certainly defined. This is the language, not alphabet; for writing it can use Latin (but what to "convert" then? :-)), Balbodh, used to use Modi…

And Balbodh is abugida, it cannot be possibly mapped onto traditional European alphabets, that is, the whole concept of "alphabet" is not applicable.

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathi_language#Writing[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_alphabet[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balbodh[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abugida[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modi_script[^].

Better now? Before you understand all that, you cannot say that you understand yourself what you are asking about.

If you need some transliteraton, learn about it.

Your other big mistake is thinking that using the writing system is using "Marathi fonts" (again, what exactly would you mean by that?). Unicode subsets and fonts are different thing. A font is not something which supports certain language.

By the way, how about having more respect to Marathi culture and great Indian cultures in general and write in authentic language and writing system. I think using Latin is humiliation of much more dedicated and complicated culture. Even I, without the knowledge of the language itself, could write in authentic way.

Look, your profiles tells that you are from India. Would you have some shame and do something to respect your own culture a little more, at least no less than I do?
