Flornaa Thank you for confirming! I've added you to the list :)
Hey! I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post this, but I think it'd be cool to have a place for bilingual people to translate some cool phrases or words for creations. Personally I'm looking to see if someone can correctly translate "You can't handle the truth" from English to Latin.
I'm not bilingual myself, unfortunately, but maybe others who want correct translations can build this post up and help each other.
So what kinds of things do you want translated for your creations and how do you use them? I like using phrases or words to create names or locations :)
Edit: Wow, this post blew up more than I originally thought it would! From now on, I'll try to list the languages and the users that speak said languages below to make it easier for others to find the proper person they need! If there's any problems at all with what's listed, please let me know and I'll change it ASAP. If there are languages that are together that the native speakers suggest be separated, please also let me know! I don't want to offend anyone and I don't know much about different languages (but I'm learning a lot from everyone). Thank you to everyone for your assistance!
If anyone wants to know anything specific to translate, please ping in the forum someone from the list under the correct language. There are many people with many skills who have offered their time to help :)
Please try to keep things PG13, as there may be minors present. Also if anyone in the list wishes to be removed from it for any reason, please let me know! I will do so with no questions asked.

I'm able to speak English (as it is my primary language), but I can also do Spanish (though I'm not a translation major) and provided I hear it (text-based is a little more complicated) I can translate Japanese.
Add me in for Mandarin Chinese, please! Note that I'm not the best with slang, as I haven't lived in mainland China for quite a while.
I'm a native brazilian portuguese speaker and I can do both PT->EN and EN->PT translations well, if someone somehow needs help with northeastern dialect I can help too!
Looking for very specific help with Japanese, so looking here before I DM anyone. I'm writing a call and response for an idol, and I want to know if it makes sense/sounds like one.
“みんなの花、ゆなです！”
“Everyone’s flower, Yuna here!”
最も美しい花です！
You're the prettiest flower!
“ふふ～ありがとう、バニボン！”
“Fufu~ Thank you, BunBons!”
Thank you very much! I've never been sure about whether to include you or not. The article looks super helpful, too. I'll definitely be saving them for future reference.
Oh sorry it's been a long time since I've been on here! I thought the thread was dead LMAO
Thank you all who offer your time and amazing language skills! I think learning from each other would be incredible. The more accurate the better, right? :)
If anyone wants to share any common sayings or any unique words from the languages they know, feel free to! I think it's a great icebreaker, especially since the English language doesn't really have any good words that describe certain things. This is kinda why it's hard to translate some things to English and it not be quite accurate, so I'd be interested in learning any unique words like that (I also tend to kinda base characters off of words like that that may go into their character or qualities of them).
Once again, thank you to everyone who is offering their time :)
tomorrow You have been removed from the list! Sorry it took so long!
