If you are using an exact quote from a participant, you should use an accurate quote, including any slang they speak. If the slang is too hard to understand, maybe that if not the best phrase to quote. Or you might have to include an explanation of what the slang word means [in brackets like this].
if it is adding value to research than Yes. and if that language is difficult to understand than small description should be there.
Thank you so much Michael W. Marek , Sejal Shah , & Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman , Do you have an Evidence to support this answer
Yes, I agree with Michael W. Marek - if necessary use 'slang' word [explanation or appropriate word e.g., bostin' [amazing, brilliant or excellent] OR bostin' [Black Country slang for amazing, brilliant or excellent]
It would, however, depend on whether your institution style guide wants transcriptions to be basic or verbatim. So check with your institution's or department's research office for their style guide.
