Hi guys I have been talking with friends about the Meiji Ishin .
I would like to say something in English like:

industrialisation and culture stood together into the future.

First does this attempt portray the same in English?
Second Is this a bit to much like a written response, would a spoken response be different.



産業化と文化は一緒に未来へ伴ってたってありました

Sangyouka to bunka wa issho ni mirai e tomonatte atte arimashita

Thanks
 
literal translation
工業化と文化は未来に向けて団結していた。
Kōgyōka to bunka wa mirai ni mukete danketsu shiteita.

my attempt at free translation
工業化と文化は共に未来を見据えていた。
Kōgyōka to bunka wa tomo ni mirai wo misueteita.
 
In My dictionary industrial world is sangyoukai is says that kougyouka is manufacturing ka here means the section right?
Because I used ishho ni, is using tomonau ( To accompany/ to bring with ) like saying Together twice?
I've used attearu as stood

I've never used mukete (to turn towards) danketsu (unity before)

So is Kōgyōka commonly known as the Japanese industrialisation/industrial revolution?
 
The ka in this term is a suffix. It means : action of making something. -ification. So therefore kougyouka means being able to manufacture i.e able to manufacture- manufacturing. It comes from the verb kesu to change into. So put it together to change into manufacturing = industrialised.
 
You are confusing 化 and 界. 化 is a suffix, meaning "changing it to~". It's close to "-ization" in English, as in 映画化 "cinematization", 機械化 "mechanization", 近代化 "modernization". 化する is the verbalization of 化, which is probably originally from 漢文読み下し文, i.e., a usage in transliteration of classical Chinese into Japanese.

Here's definitions of 産業 and 工業 (all in Japanese).
こうぎょう【工業】の意味 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書
さんぎょう【産業】の意味 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書
産業 has more wide meaning than 工業. It contains agriculture, fishery, real estate or distribution industory.

It doesn't work well to look up the meaning of each word individually and just gather them into one. In the first place, your dictionary has only one translation for each word? "To stand" can be translated only to "立つ", for insatance?
 
Thanks guys for the explanations, I think I have bitten off more then I can chew.
でも、しっぱいはせいこうのもと
