  -> Lily, readers "picture" the tagalog description into their mind, they don't retranslate it in English. Nevertheless, that fact does not mean the translation is wrong, it is so that the reader can get a mental picture of the material in question.

Pang-ibabaw na yari sa piyeltrong lana.

MATTED - in this context means hair or fur tangled into a thick mass, please refer to: http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/matted?view=uk

it has nothing to do with 'makintab' at all

neutral  EnTG-Translator: I know felting. I've seen it here in Icelaand and Denmark too. I am not referring to the process of using a flat iron but merely describing how it looks. You say "plantsadong" pera, but you don't mean it was actually flattened by an iron.
4 mins
  -> but if you put that in translation, meaning will be different di ba? When translation is back translated it will all mean very different from the source.
neutral  Ma. Unica Real Encinares: may be right but who understands pyeltro? It's almost like another foreign word.
12 hrs
  -> it is in my dictionary, New Vicassan's English-Pilipino Dictionary - derived from Spanish 'piyeltro'
