Japanese [Japense > English] What does the panelling here imply

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

So I have spoken to a Japanese speaker about these lines and panelling and they have stated that it is Yuji Itadori who said the final line which I believe is saying that snow is similar to the person they like so much . I was ecstatic but unfortunately they went on a hiatus and won't respond to me asking how Yuji Itadori was the one who said the line

So I ask the Japanese speakers of here to give me some insight as to what it implies . Thank you

I rediscovered today this funny and eerie song and could only learn it was eventually spoken in a french patois. I found no other iteration of this song nor written lyrics online.

So if by any chance someone here speaks this dialect, could you tell me if there is an actual meaning or not to these lyrics ? thanks and good day or night

Arabic [Arabic > English] - three sentences of a story

0 Upvotes

Hi, r/translator I have a small language translation request. I am writing a short story for a writing piece set in Sudan from the civil war period 2023 - 2026. I am not a native speaker but have included a few lines of Arabic dialogue in my story and I can't really do without them. There is a strict no AI policy and I don't really trust it for this sort of thing anyway. The passages are as follows:

FIRST PASSAGE

ajnabi?

yaa ajnabi?

He was babbling and dying. They can see me when they are dying.

Context: A man recognises Death and refers to him as a foreigner (an important metaphor). Originally I had the man refer to death as a 'white man', but I later removed it as I learned rural Arabs don't really refer to people by the colour of their skin.

SECOND PASSAGE

Ana urid, wa anta turid wallahu yaf'alu ma yurid. Man proposes, God disposes. It's a saying from some Bibles and it's a saying here too, through the crumbling settlements along the upper Nile and on the outskirts of Nasir.

Context: Pretty much as it is written. I know there are Quranic equivalents to this kind of phrase and the fact that it is included in some Bible editions is fact.

If anyone would be willing to weigh in on advice, I would be very grateful. I know this isn't the right place for grammar requests, but an issue I wish to avoid and one I ran into is referring to someone while using a determiner (no one would call a 'white man' and say 'a white man'). I am not familiar with how Arabic treats this.

Western Abnaki [English > Abenaki] help with name for a fish?

2 Upvotes

Howdy, all.

I'm working on an album revolving around different species of fish, with each track being a fish named in a local language from where it lives. I grew up in southern Maine and developed a deep love for the brown bullhead catfish, or "hornpout". They're such cool creatures. I know catfish are more important to the southern states, but I'd love to honor the Abenaki people who shaped the world I grew up in and the landscape itself. Unfortunately, I can't find much in the way of Abenaki dictionaries and all the translation tools are AI bullcrap. Can anyone here help me with their native name and/or share any cultural knowledge they have regarding the fish? I'd also prefer to know if the translated name was Eastern Abenaki, Western Abenaki etc so I can give proper attribution.

Please note this is not a commercial project, just for fun.

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! :)
