ق and غ
Salam dear friends,
It seems that nowadays the two letters in question are pronounced the same: is that correct ? Recent teaching books say so whereas a more traditional approach seems to indicate غ as being pronounced "qaf" instead of "ghain" .... is it in fact more the "Arabic" pronunciation ? What do you think? How do YOU pronounce it ?
Thank you so much.

First name translation question
Salam dear friends,
I understand that if you have a friend from a US/UK country whose name is "Oliver" it will be translated as:
الیور
If this friend is from FRANCE, the name "Oliver" is "OLIVIER" (in French). Therefore would you call him:
زیتون ؟
(an 'olivier' is an olive tree in France - which is 'Oliver' in English).
I am curious as to know if you, Persians, would find this different spelling weird or not - what name would you use in order to call your friend ?
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question !
