"jeux de papier"

Une course à l'abolition intégrale de toute mémoire historique, de médiocres "jeux de papier" où les joueurs semblent s'efforcer de faire comme s'ils se détestaient pour de vrai.

Alors, que dites-vous ? Qu’est-ce que vous voulez ? —Stephen (Talk) 06:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's from this online article, though it can be found elsewhere on the web, so I'm not sure if this is the original or a copy of it. The last bit is definitely " […] where the players seem to force themselves to pretend that they really hate each other". The jeux de papier bit is a bit confusing, it makes me think of hangman or noughts and crosses, but I don't see why that works as a metaphor. Surely in such games, players don't pretend to hate each other. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:46, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

English to Irish Gaelic Translation

Could someone please translate the following into Irish Gaelic -

"Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity - everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul"

Thanks

This is the best I can do. I can hardly understand the English.
Tá pósadh a fíodóireacht le chéile de theaghlaigh, de dhá anamacha lena n-gcinniúint aonair, ar am agus síoraíocht — saol laethúil pósta leis an rúin síoraí ar an anam. —Stephen (Talk) 06:32, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, really appreciated.

I am not here to blend in.

English to Portuguese

I would like the translation from English to Portuguese. I am stronger than I knew

My guess is "sou mais forte que sabia". I'm basing this on Wiktionary entries, and assuming the grammar is the same as it would be in French. Corrections welcome. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:36, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Portuguese isn't as fond of dropping subject pronouns as Spanish is, so I'd say Eu sou mais forte que eu sabia. —Angr 13:27, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese to English (From Video)

Can someone translate this video from the start until 2:57? But translating the whole video could be more good. :3

The link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v4BVoU0EdY&feature=channel

You could post here, or email me at storytellerwiz8@gmail.com

We'll happily translate phrases or short texts, but video transcription and translation is waaaay beyond what we'll generally touch. I just had a look at the video out of curiosity, and I suspect you'll have much more success posting this request to an anime fan board. The amount of text and speech involved, and the specialized subject matter, put this request far above and beyond what we do here.
Sorry. Better luck elsewhere. -- 205.166.76.15 15:29, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Alrighty then.

Traduzir de português para aramaico: "Jesus, eu confio em vós!"

Por favor, traduzir a frase: "Jesus, eu confio em vós!" para o aramaico. grato, Alex

I think the English is "Jesus, I trust in you!" if that helps. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:49, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If so then Aramaic may be ישוע בך אנא רחיץ‎.​—msh210℠ (talk) 23:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

English to Sanskrit Translation

PLEASE i need the translation of the phrase "GROW OLD WITH ME" in sanskrit. Since i need it because i want to engrave it on a piece of jewelry, could anyone please translate this phrase and also provide the english pronunciation of the words in sanskrit. PLEASEEEEE ANYONEEE.

Are you sure you want the ancient dead language of Sanskrit, or do you mean Modern Hindi, which uses the same alphabet? If Hindi, then:
मेरे साथ बूढ़ा हो जाना (mērē sātha būṛhā hō jānā)
If Sanskrit, then:
मया सह जिज्रीषतु (mayā saha jijrīṣatu)
You should doublecheck before using, especially the Sanskrit, which I do not know well. —Stephen (Talk) 08:48, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

English to Khmer

Hi there, can someone please translate this bhuddist proverb into khmer: "Do not lie waiting for death or sit waiting to become rich; embarrassment of poverty will bring riches; knowing yourself as ignorant will make you wise; do not act as if dead before you have lived, life your life then die; associate with the learned, do not imitate those who are ignorant/evil"

If this is too long, the end of the phrase will be ok too: "do not act as if dead before you have lived, life your life then die; associate with the learned, do not imitate those who are ignorant/evil"

Thank you!

A body part in English

What's the name of the part between the shoulder and the neck? --Daniel 12:07, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The collarbone I think? —CodeCat 12:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There's also the nape of the neck.
Can you be more specific? Are you asking about bones, muscles, general regions, the front/back/side? -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 22:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you mean the top of the torso, the horizontal parts on each side of the neck, those are part of the shoulders. The shoulder is not just the joint, it includes the clavicle and scapula, and the top part of the humerus, along with the associated muscles and ligaments. —Stephen (Talk) 07:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --Daniel 23:47, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obi Wan, please translate English to Latin

"It is the will of God" I found DEUS VULT, but not I am sure. Thanks, you guys are great!

Deus vult is more idiomatic, but it has connotations with crusaders, and literally means "God wills it" (although "it" is implied). For "it is the will of God", a literal translation would be Voluntas Dei est. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

English to Sanskrit (Tattoo)

I'm getting a tattoo and I'm looking to have the following quote written in Sanskrit. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

However, fully understanding that meaning doesn't always translate well. I'm open to having it translated into Hindi, Hebrew or Arabic if they translate better. Thank you kindly!

I think you will have better success with a modern language than with Sanskrit. This is Arabic (but you should get second opinions before using it):
نحن لا نخشى من أننا لسنا كافية. خوف عميق لدينا في أننا أقوياء لا قياس له.
This is Hindi, but I am not sure that it is all correct:
हमारी गहरी डर नहीं है कि हम अपर्याप्त हैं. हमारी गहरी डर है कि हम माप के बाहर शक्तिशाली हैं. —Stephen (Talk) 06:47, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Emily Dickinson Poem to Arabic and/or Thai

Hi, I am a seventh grade English teacher, and I have two ESL students in my class, one who speaks Arabic and one who speaks Thai. I want the students to partake in some literary analysis, without their language limitations interfering. I was wondering if anyone might be able to translate the following Emily Dickinson poem into either Arabic or Thai, so that they could read the poems in their native languages. It does not need to be a poetic translation- a literal translation will do, but I am distrustful of online translators and would prefer to be able to provide a more accurate translation.

Thank you!

Here's the poem:

Will there really be a morning? Is there such a thing as day? Could I see it from the mountains If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like water-lilies? Has it feathers like a bird? Is it brought from famous countries Of which I have never heard?

Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor! Oh, some wise man from the skies! Please to tell a little pilgrim Where the place called morning lies!

هل هناك حقا شيء من هذا القبيل كما الصباح؟
هل هناك شيء من هذا القبيل كما اليوم؟
أستطيع أن أرى أنه من الجبال
إذا أنا طويل القامة مثل لهم؟
لا توجد لديها مثل قدم على زنبق الماء؟
لا توجد لديها مثل الريش على الطيور؟
يتم إحضارها من دول الشهيرة
التي لم يسبق لي أن سمعت عنهم؟
يا العالِم! يا بحار!
يا رجل حكيم من السماء!
من فضلك قل هذا الرحالة الصغيرة
حيث تم العثور على مكان يسمى صباح! —Stephen (Talk) 01:16, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translation, please, I think it is Hawaiian. Thank you for any help. This is printed on a large cotton scarf.

It is Swahili or a Bantu language related to Swahili. It is misspelled, or you have not copied it faithfully, so I can’t read it. Uonal can’t be right. The parts that seem to be spelled correctly say something like: _ _ speakers also say this. —Stephen (Talk) 01:51, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
