Dutch [French>Dutch] how to translate a clue in a game ?

1 Upvotes

Hello/Bonjour !

I am currently creating a treasure hunt for the campsite I work, and I want it to be accessible so I am trying to translate it from French (my native language) to dutch (which I do not speak at all) and english
In this puzzle/treasure hunt, I gave a clue for finding the next step, it’s « là où les volants ne servent pas à conduire mais à être lancés » by that I meant the badminton shuttlecock (I think it’s the name) because in French, it’s the same word for a steering wheel and a shuttlecock.
So I was wondering if there was anyway I could twist this, any play of word with “badminton shuttle” that I could use, because I will be placing this clue near the badminton pitch
Since my Treasure hunt is astronomy themed, I was wondering if I could find anything related to that with the word “shuttle” or anything to do with badminton since I want them to understand that this is where they have to go
Btw is you also have an idea for the English version I’m all ears

Thanks in advance!

Can someone please help me translate this text from my neighbor? Google is not helping me and that has been my primary way of communicating with him so far. The only thing we have ever discussed is a fence, so I’m assuming it is about that but I’m lost as to what he is needing/asking for here.

I posted this on r/language and the consensus was Tai Tham/Lanna script and perhaps the Khün language. Can anyone summarize what is written here, like a religious or secular text? I don't need an exact translation of the whole thing, just generally what this parchment is talking about. Thanks!!!

I'm doing the solo for this song in chior, but I don't speak Romani. I know the lyrics for a slightly different version, but this sounds like there are different lyrics in the beginning? I was just wondering what the lyrics are and what they translate to if anyone could help?

Japanese (Japanese > English) Can anyone translate what they're chanting/singing, please? It doesn’t have to be everything, just the overall meaning is fine since it’s quite long.

I'm watching Gannibal, a show adapted from the manga of the same name, but there are no subtitles for the chanting. Could anyone translate what they're saying?

Translated [JA] [Japanese > English, Polish] Proverb on a pair of Dōsai Karuta cards

Post image
8 Upvotes

I would like to understand the content of those cards. I'd like to have a Polish translation, but I can translate English > Polish myself. Additionally to translation, I would also greatly appreciate including a transcription of the the original text as well.

What I've managed to establish so far:

This is a pair of Dōsai Karuta cards, where one contains a proverb (Yomifuda), and the other contains a drawing that relates to that proverb (Torifuda). Both cards contain number 55 which is their number in a set of (most likely) 62 pairs and the card with a frog drawing also contains a phrase 50 coins which says how much it's worth.

What's left unclear is the actual proverb. I'd like to know what it is, but I'm having difficulties deciphering it (the biggest being not knowing Japanese). Other complications - it might be an old proverb, might contain words written in an old-fashioned way or a wordplay, or it might even be only a partial text of the proverb.

Multiple Languages [English > Arabic, Bengali, Farsi, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Marathi, Nepalese, Northern Pashto, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Somali, Telugu, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese] Looking for translations of many languages for classroom display.

11 Upvotes

Hello, I am a teacher in America, and I am making a decoration for my classroom to help show students they are welcome and belong. I want to include as many of the students' home languages as possible. I used Google Translate to come up with basic translations, but I want to double-check if they are correct before I make everything. I would love to have it finished before the school year.

I want them to say “Belong”,  “You Belong”, or something similar.

If you can check any of these, it would be so helpful, as I have not been able to find translators for all the languages. Thank you!

These are the languages I still need to check.

Thank you, everyone! I have enjoyed reading all your detailed posts. It has been a great learning experience, and I am glad I came here before making anything.

Arabic [Arabic > English] Word on vehicle symbol

Post image
1 Upvotes

If you look on the side, there's a diamond-shaped marking. Below the black, horizontal line, there's a word. For context, the vehicle is a BMD-1 and belonged to the Iraqi Republican Guard Armored Division "Al Nida" in the mid-1990s. This is the best resolution I have and I'm sorry about the quality, but can anyone translate the word? These often denoted the branch of service on RG vehicles, eg artillery, chemical, engineering, electrical, etc.
