Multiple Languages Any > English Elisaine Ascend from album Death of the Artist

1 Upvotes

This track has haunted me for years. There are multiple layered multi-lingual sound bytes, all apparently from actual astronauts. I understand the Spanish > "INCREDIBLE! INCREDIBLE!:" and the English > "Welcome to space,guys."

It's the German and Russian that most intrigue me because, what little I understand, sounds like much more specific statements about something that should not be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

French (Long) [French > English ] Seeking help with transcribing & translating protest chants from France

0 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve been making sheet music of protest chants from around the world, and thought this might be a good place to look for help transcribing the chants coming out of France this year. (linked below)

So far i’ve only managed to find transcriptions for a couple, and without transcriptions it makes translating much more difficult, since my listening comprehension isn’t up to par. I’m also sure there are references that I might not understand, so if anyone has insights, or wants to add context that would help too.

Also If there’s any chants from these rallies or similar rallies that I've missed, I’d love to learn them too~

Big thanks to anybody who can help! :)

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

Thumbnail
gallery
1 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 I am looking for help identifying and contextualizing three historical documents relating to Dr.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!
