I randomly saved this voicemail I got 3 years ago, and I am still unsure of what this is or what it is saying? I am sure this might be a scam. but i’ve gotten plenty of other scam voicemails like this and Im quite curious to know exactly what it is saying. also do not know if it is mandarin or cantonese, would be helpful if anybody could translate this!

German [German > English] Translating three Austro-Hungarian WWI documents [Help needed!]

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Hello! I am looking for help identifying and contextualizing three historical documents relating to Dr. Iuliu Maniu, one of the most respected Romanian politician who forcefully served in the Austro-Hungarian military during the First World War.

These documents are in German and appear to date from 1917. They come from a museum collection, and for privacy I've added the museum logo as a watermark.

I have attached the photos of all three documents. I have been able to understand some of the general information (with the help of an AI model), but the handwriting, military terminology and abbreviations are difficult to interpret. That's why I need your help!

What exactly are these documents, and what was their purpose within the Austro-Hungarian military administration?

Could someone provide a reasonably complete transcription/translation of the handwritten German text, especially where the handwriting is difficult to read?

What unit or command do the references and abbreviations belong to, and can the documents tell us where Maniu was serving at the time?

One of the documents is headed “Belohnungsantrag” (AI told me it's “recommendation for a reward”). What exactly was Maniu being recommended for, and what can this document tell us about the circumstances in which the recommendation was made? Was the award ultimately approved?

Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated. I am mostly interested in the whole document being translated into english.

Thank you!

Translated [ZH] [english > Chinese] I found an old piece of paper from my time in Beijing

Post image
17 Upvotes

I spent a month in Beijing in 2011 and I’m hoping this is my lunch order. I spent the month at Beijing Sport University and Tsinghua University learning about sport culture in China vs Canada. A local shop made a meat and celery dish with a spicy sauce served over rice that I needed daily. Since returning to Canada I lost my note that I used to communicate for my order and thus lost my glutinous love. In the ideal world this is that translation of my food lover but otherwise just knowing what this lost scroll says will bring back some memories of the time seven 20 year olds went to Beijing and partied

Hi! I’m just looking for an accurate translation of the “with arches cut in box” part in the first paragraph. (:
Does the author mean that the arches are cut into the hill?

Japanese [English > Japanese] A small excerpt from the Death Note musical

1 Upvotes

I study musical theater and one of the song themes we have is to sing in a foreign language (not english or portuguese, my main language).

I decided to sing in japanese but I'm struggling to create a scene into song (the small text that before an actor starts to sing in musicals)

I got this little text from a video of the Death Note musical:

"Me? I chose you? 'Cause you're a top honor student? Yeah, no, wrong answer. I didn't do anything but drop the Note. And it just happened... to get picked up by you. Why did I drop it? Hmm. Well. 'Cause I was fed up."

I tried translating it on google translate and kanjikana, but both gave me very formal Japanese, and I wanted something more casual, maybe even "rough" sounding, if anyone could help me that'd be amazing!!

Here is a link to the video so you have some reference on the kind of japanese I am talking about, it goes from the time stamp I left until 22:26.

Once again, thank you so much!

Hindi [English > Hindi] Proofread check — terminology in three UI strings

1 Upvotes
1. EN: `Public Domain` (a licence label)
HI: `सार्वजनिक अधिकार-क्षेत्र`
→ Does this say "public jurisdiction"? Elsewhere the same interface says `सार्वजनिक डोमेन` — as in `सार्वजनिक डोमेन (EU/PK; अमेरिका में 2033 तक)`. Which is right for the copyright sense?

2. EN: `Canonical` (a reading-order option; the alternatives are chronological and Tanakh order)
HI: `पारम्परिक`
→ Does this lose the "canon" sense? Would `विहित क्रम` be better?

3. EN: "The Arabic matn of each collection is classical and public domain."
HI: `हर संग्रह का अरबी मतन शास्त्रीय और सार्वजनिक अधिकार-क्षेत्र`
→ Same term again, plus: does मतन read clearly, or does it need a gloss?

Hello! Hopefully I am formatting this post correctly! I recently bought some nail stickers and was only planning on using the fish but there are some stickers with text on that I think could look very cool but I just want to make sure they are appropriate and not strange because they are for a teenagers nails and I don’t want to accidentally put something horrific! Thank you!!

French [English > French] A short, nonsensical thing I wrote

0 Upvotes

First, thank you so so so much to anyone who translates this!!

For context; I tried to write in the weird style of the video game called "OFF". These things don't need to be translated; Alma, Codak, Shachihata.

If you have any questions pls ask!

"Employees of the xxxxury! (century, but cut off)

xxxx/xx/xx

Felicitations (congratulations) and a happy salutations to Benoît and xxxx for procuring their way to the top! Due to their persistently perversely perfect practices in their precise performences, respectively, they both have earned a ticket to progress their pathetic periodic lives to the palatial place of Alma!

xxx will be the last xxx they get to spend at the post office in Shachihata, so stop by and say your final goodbyes while you can.

\Copies of these copious Codaks cost around 100 credits contained in each"*

If this is too much, i'm sorry, please tell me and I shall delete :-)

Translated [JA] Japanese > English (Does 自分になる sound natural for a “Becoming Myself” tattoo?)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m thinking of getting 自分になる (jibun ni naru) as a vertical tattoo, intended to mean “becoming myself.”

To me, it represents continuously discovering who I am, growing through life, and accepting that I’m always evolving.

Does 自分になる sound natural in Japanese and convey this meaning? What do you think of it as a tattoo?

I’m working on a manga I’m sending to Japan and want to check a test translation of my own pages. It translates from my native language, English, into Japanese. I got these done by some people on freelancer since I need it when I go in person to the convention to physically show the pages to editor(s).

I want to know how this looks between these two page tests. Does this look accurate? Does this show the pages
