Just some lyrics from a chorus in a song , Anyone wanna help me out here?

I'll raise my eyes to you
I've changed my name 100 times
I'll raise my eyes to you
I've no hope

Really discombobulated song you've got yourself here....

Can't hep with the arabic jargon but i can tell you what's on the right of it.

It's hindi - "Sundar aur Aakarsh"

Means Beautiful and attractive.

Sundar (the first word ) - stands for beautiful.

aur - Hindi for "and"

Aakarsh - Attraction (in this case, attractive)

Ich kaan die dudelsac spielen.

Ich habe das grosse wagen in mein leder hosen.

Ich wurde deine-familie toten.

[yeagel]

I know basic german, so i can try :

I can play the dudelsac.

I have a big truck(?) in my leather pants.

the last one's a bit confusing though - something on the lines of "I become your dead family."

But assuming that's it is the same sicko who wrote all the three : maybe it means " I will cum on your dead family."

I believe it is

I can play the bagpipes. (good for german girlfriends parents)

I have a big wagon in my leather pants. (good ice breaker at partys)

I will make your family dead. (also translates to get your hands off my girl) Not sure about this one.

I did the best I could to recreate the characters in paint, heh, but I don't know if it's good enough. If you need it to be done better just let me know.

It's chinese.
I believe the characters were together as one, not two.
if they were separate, the one on the left means "fish"
the one on the right means "snow"

if the characters are together as one, it means "Cod"
as in the fish "cod"

I'm looking for someone to translate some Dutch audio files a friend sent me (of her talking ie, her secret messages for me). If anyone is interested in helping me and earning some thanks, PM me and ill discuss with you a way to send the audio files to you. Thanks

[Junior Jacon Jeese Jurger]

I know J.P.W is Dutch, you may want to ask him if he can help you out. I think Fza may be Dutch too.

[water bottle]

There are a bunch of Dutch and Belgian people here, so you'll probably have no trouble getting a tranny (lol, I meant to type 'translation' and that came out... I'm leaving it as it is) but Yggdrasil has a thread for translation requests... better delete this and repost in that thread before he sees this, oh noes!

[Fza]

For future reference, I'm willing to help with any Dutch translations (native language), I also have a fair knowledge of German.

So anyone with Dutch questions feel free to PM me.

[nickkilla]

Future reference, I'm a native English speaker, but i do speak and read Mandarin (Chinese), if you guys need help.

[Yggdrasil]

Thanks to you both, I'll put your names in the OP to help other users get in touch.

[Animal Farm Pig]

For the OP, I can do passable Portuguese translation provided it's not too "poetic."

[coolstorybro]

I can do russian translation and more recently, cyrillic transilliteration

[Sookie]

Not sure if I would be needed here but I am fluent in Korean and French so... yeah. I'd be willing to help whoever.

[monotoned]

I'm a native Chinese(mandarin) speaker, I can also help with Chinese translations. I read both traditional and simplified Chinese.

[Vox Ducis]

If you need some help in Italian and German, drop me a line. I can also help you in Scandinavian languages.

unfortunately I'm a native speaker, I learned it from my parents.
But tips on learning Chinese(esp writing), is to practice a LOT.
I remember when I was in elementary I did at least 20x for each character I learned that day. Read the character silently to yourself when you write it, you'll remember it better.

Key is practice, and following the strokes are very important for writing faster in the future, if you write it 20 times but each time with different strokes, you'd be wasting your time.

Google " Chinese character stroke order" or something along the lines of that and find a site that you like best, try to practice consistently each day

[Ron Burgandy]

Can anyone translate English to Latin?
