SoraChiiy :0 Omg it's so pretty! I've always loved how the language looks. Thank you so much for the translation!
piineapples Don't be too nervous! Everyone offers their assistance on their own :3 They want to help!
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.

Dez my favourite saying in german is: "Wer einem anderen eine Grube gräbt, fällt selbst hinein."
It means: if you do something bad to someone, it will come back to you. Translated word for word it means: "He who digs a pit for others, falls into it himself."
German grammer is horrible. xD I am wirting on a book and I am afraid of the grammar correction I need to do. D:
Weemelia Welcome! And thank you so much! :) I figured it's a great way for people to get proper, accurate translations for their worlds, characters, names, or literatures! So thank you so much for contributing!
If you don't mind me asking, is there a direct translation of "Sacré bleu" to English? Like I know it's a phrase of surprise but what is the story behind it? I hear it so often in cartoons or movies with French culture, so I'm very curious.
I'm a native spanish speaker from Argentina! I'm willing to help if anyone needs help with translating something :)
Urielopolus Awesome, thank you so much for your assistance! From Argentina? That sounds amazing! It looks so beautiful over there. There seem to be a lot of Spanish speaking countries, I wonder what the difference in language is? Hmm how would you say "This land is a land of beauty" in Spanish?
Dez hahah yeah! We do have some nice places here! I specfied in case someone has an Argentinian character and needs help with how we talk, but it's not the same that in other spanish speaking countries, not just for slangs but with common words too, like "you have" is "tienes" in most countries, but we say "tenés" in Argentina!
Now for that prhase I would translate is as "esta tierra es una tierra de bellezas"
Urielopolus Oh that makes sense! I went ahead and specified that on the language list :) Thank you so much for translating and letting me know about the differences!
