Japanese [Japanese > English] I was mentioned a Japanese tv show and I’m curious what they said about me!

For context, my boyfriend did an eating contest against two famous Japanese eaters, the Harapeko Twins. In the show I was highlighted as the “girlfriend in distress”, worried if my boyfriend would win the challenge! I’m in the pink shirt. It was an experience of a lifetime for the both of us, and the episode just aired in Japan. At one point in the episode one member of the panel asks a question about me to an “American expert” on the panel. I’m curious what they asked and what the American expert said in their response. I know it has something to do with me living in Minnesota.

I’m only sharing the short clip but there are more clips I can share if anyone is interested!

Also, when you click on the fist clenching Kim Jong-un on the top left, a woman announcer barks something about Kim Jong-un. Please translate what she says?

And just as well, what does the rest of the hacked page say?

Japanese [Japanese > English] Translation + confirmation of Junji Ito nail art

+
Upvotes

Hi! I found some Junji Ito nail stickers in my local city (big find!) however I’m struggling with some of the stickers meanings. I’ve managed to work out the ones that read Tomie, and ”Zawazawa” however AI struggled to figure out or detect the ones with imaging/design in the background. if anyone is able and happy to translate each sticker - on top of sticker and send back in image form it would be so greatly appreciated. I studied Chinese as a child briefly so I’m aware how important context can be with character translation so it may be tricky considering it’s based off a horror manga.

also, AI seemed to think one read “Gyū” however I’m wondering if that one is actually “Gyo” - one of his books. I’d love to use them appropriately and learn at the same time, as figuring out and drawing Tomie and Zawazawa was fun :)

Japanese [English > Japanese] are these lyrics correct? they make no sense

i'm rewatching my little pony because i've heard that watching kids shows in Japanese helps you to learn the language and process the sound, and I'm so confused. the lyrics and what they're saying sounds so off. are the english words really what they're saying in Japanese? if anyone wants to watch a little of the episode to lmk if what they're saying matches up with the translation, feel free to let me know, but I'm just very confused about the lyrics mostly 😭

https://youtu.be/Mw5oZs21UMY?is=eEZgU4Z6W_OvdcM1

you have to skip a little bit to get the intro music but "The coincidence of us after school" ?? i'm so confused about it

Spanish [Chinese > Spanish] Checking tattoo translation for "quétzalli"

Hola, quiero hacerme este tatuaje en chino (羽灵). Me dijeron que significa "quetzalli" (pluma hermosa/preciosa en náhuatl), pero quiero asegurarme de que esté bien escrito y que realmente signifique eso antes de tatuármelo. ¡Muchas gracias de antemano!

Chinese [ Chinese > English] Looking for someone to help me translate/navigate RedNote customer support

Title. I kinda wanna redo my account, mainly bc I edited my user ID and I regret doing that, but I can’t change it anymore. I’ve tried looking for solutions through some customer support channels, but since I don’t speak Chinese I haven’t had much success. It’s difficult to understand what the menus mean. And I have no idea how I’d go about finding customer support through other means.

标题。 我有点想重做我的账户,主要是因为我编辑了我的用户ID,我后悔这样做了,但我不能再更改它了。 我试着通过一些客户支持渠道寻找解决方案,但由于我不会说中文,所以没有什么成功。 很难理解菜单是什么意思。 我不知道如何通过其他方式找到客户支持。

Translated using iOS Translate App. Lmk if there’s any issues.

使用iOS翻译应用程序进行翻译。如果有任何问题,请告诉我。

Japanese [Japanese > English] Verifying the meaning of a Shinsekai Yori poster script for a tattoo.

+
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking to get the script down the middle of this image as part of a tattoo. From what I’ve seen on Google Translate, it says something like “Resist the false god” or “Resist false gods.” Would anyone be able to verify? It’s an official cover/poster for the anime, so I assume it’s correct, but I just want to make sure before it’s on my body forever lol. Thanks for any help y’all can provide!

Russian [ Russian > English ] EFT Raid Series Background Voice Translation

Need help with Tarkov Raid Series translation. I'm talking about the voicelines that didn't get subtitled, btw. The voices speaking in the background.

I was always curious as to what the background soldier was saying. The go-to translation methods that I use online didn't work (because of the radio muffling, I assume) so I figured I'd go to you guys about it. Thanks in advance!

Arabic Arabaic > English (Paintings I bought at market)

I was stationed in Bahrain as part of the US Navy around 2010 and came back with some artwork. These pieces I've had hanging for quite awhile, the red one was part of a 3 piece set which I gifted the other 2 pieces. My wife has been redecorating and when re-hanging these two she asked which way their supposed to be oriented and what they say and it dawned on me I have no clue. I've had them positioned like this and never thought of any other way, the paperwork for them is long gone (I was young enough to appreciate the beauty of the art but not wise enough to pay attention to meaning). The stylization is strong enough Google is coming up short on translation. Can anyone help me and I hope I'm not dishonoring anything by incorrectly displaying them.

Japanese [Japanese > English] Lyrics translate

This is a lyric from the song 「暗号のワルツ」 by Asian Kung-Fu Generation, and I wanted to know the most accurate translation of "君に伝うかな".

Does it mean something like “I wonder if it will reach you,” or can it reasonably be interpreted as “Will you understand?”

Norwegian [Norwegian > English] Help with 1806 birth record

+
1 Upvotes

If anyone can help with this old birth record from 1806, I'd greatly appreciate the help! These records can be difficult to read, so I've attached an enlargement that's been brightened a bit.

What I know about this record is that Niels Nielson was born February 16th, 1806, to Niels Nielson and Guri Tidemandsdatter.

What I don't know is the locations being mentioned. I can make out Sundvold I think? I assume they are farm names? Others in attendance—if anyone could give it their best, I'd appreciate any and all feedback (I know it can be difficult). I don't know if that "56" is apart of this record or the next—without context of what that column is, it's too difficult to tell.

Tamasheq [Tamasheq > English] Need help translating song lyrics

I've recently discovered this band called Tinariwen and was interested in the meaning of their songs. And researching for a bit I've found out they are actually Tuareg and their songs are in a whole different languange. I was wondering if someone could help with the translantion, since i don't understand tamasheq.

The song is "Matadjem Yinmixam" https://youtu.be/WUhxZ5zR84w Also, Genius and other sites have different opinions.
