r/translator

I bought this at the annual Nyan Fest in Tokyo in April, I have used Google Translate but the answer varies from weird to nonsensical. When I use Google Translate the front of the shirt gives me “cat pressure” and the back gives “sleeping on butt” and “I don’t care about food”. I would love to hear what it actually means since the translators go quite literal.

There is a character or a set of characters in the central panel of a shutter that I bought at a Chinese antique dealer. The dealer said it was at least several hundred years old. Can anyone provide me an accurate translation of what is represented here?

I’ve tried using AI and get different answers.

I would appreciate help translating torn family document written in Yiddish cursive (Ashkenazic script). It was found amongst my late grandmother Pera’s possessions. From what we (AI) can gather so far, it appears to be a deeply personal letter from a parent to their children expressing great sorrow, longing, and loneliness. It mentions a town (shtetl), a daughter named Chana (or Chanele) getting married (chautneh gehat), and contains modern archival pencil marks at the bottom referencing "Pera Kloc," "Rok 1912," and "Suraski 1905."Because the document is torn down the margins, many words are cut off. I would deeply appreciate it if anyone with expertise in early 20th-century Eastern European Yiddish handwriting could help decipher specific lines, fill in missing context, or identify potential regional dialects or town names (possibly Suraski/Supraśl area?).Attached is a high-resolution image of the document. Thank you so much for your time and help!

ベッドの真ん中が
一番淋しい
二人で抱き合えば
なにもいらなかったはず

昨日のやさしさが
明日の望みで
両手を重ねても
にじむ汗冷たい

からだで教えて
傷つけても
言葉ごまかして （恋は）
続くから

グラスのかがやきが
「まぶしすぎる」と
街中の明かりさえ
「うるさすぎる」とつぶやく

時折 見せる影
本当は知ってると
一瞬に消える笑み
何故かなんてきかない

からだで教えて
傷つけても
言葉ごまかして （恋は）
続くから

からだで教えて
傷つけても
本気でみないで
嘘を見抜くから

この部屋のすみでも
ずっと黙ったままでも
そばにいれば
わかりあえるから
この部屋のすみでも
ずっと黙ったままでも
そばにいれば
わかりあえるから

からだで教えて
傷つけても
言葉ごまかして （恋は）
続くから

からだで教えて
傷つけても
本気でみないで
嘘を見抜くから

この部屋のすみでも
ずっと黙ったままでも
そばにいれば
わかりあえるから
この部屋のすみでも
ずっと黙ったままでも
そばにいれば
わかりあえるから

I have no background for this, found it randomely at a garagesale. Anybody know what it says? Thank you in advance.

Art gifted by my friend. I would really appreciate a translation. Thank you

Hello. I've had trouble finding both a translation and even identifying what language this is. To me, it sounds like some variety of Persian,whether Persian, Dari, Tajik, or something closely related but most people have told me it's not a standard form.The opinions I've received have been all over the place. Some have said it's a dialect from central Iran, others said it's from Tajikistan, others Dari, some even claimed it's Pashto, and one person even told me it was a form of Urdu. So it seems that the people I've asked so far don't really know, That's why I'm asking here. I'd really appreciate a translation, as well as any information you may have about what language or dialect this is and where it is spoken

Hi everyone,

I recently acquired this beautiful landscape painting and would love some help deciphering the cursive script, the artist's seal, and the label on the outer box.

Thank you so much for your time and expertise!

Fall down 7 time, stand up 8 is what I was told it was, but just wanna verify!!!

What does this mean? Is it Chinese, Japanese, from some kind of flashcard What does it mean please?

Hello my friend is getting a tattoo in Japanese with hopes that it essentially says “everything happens for a reason”. I just want to ensure the credibility

I will include the pictures of the symbol(s) from opposite directions and the full piece. Did I make this up or can anyone tell if this is based on a word or phrase? I would say it’s Asian, but I’m no calligrapher so I did a poor job at representing its origin.

Or I made it all up. I don’t know, I made it 20 years ago.

These seem like two different sentences, right...? I can't translate the sentence below; hopefully someone can help me translate it or explain it. (I'll delete this post once I understand. Thanks for your help.🙇‍♀️)

I think it is written in some variant of Chinese but I’m not confident, I don’t need a word for word translation of all the characters just like the general idea of what’s written here? Thanks!
