Need a word or phrase translated?

Diogo Gaio said:
Thank you both, and yes, I was trying to play Elsword. Everything went fine while installing it, but when the game starts, it freezes with that message, and eventually closes on its own.

You are denied to access the ELSWORD server probably because of your security software. Change the security settings to allow to connect to it.
 
I have a simple question I just want to clarify.
Someone says: 皆殺しッて命令なんだわ

Is this a girly or feminine way to say it? If there are feminine elements to this sentence, could you list them for me?
 
Charger Alert translation

OK here's a few of words / phrases to get started on the translation over at: getlocalization.com/ChargerAlert
  • Guard - like: security guard
  • Enabled - like: turned on
  • Disabled - like: turned off
  • Auto start when plugged in - like: automatically start when the phone is plugged into charge (power).
P.S. Is Google translate any good? This is what it gives me for the above:
  • ガード
  • 使用可能
  • 使用禁止
  • 差し込まれたときに自動起動する
 
No. Both male and female can be the speaker. If it's said with a rising intonation, a female would say it(The meaning is "It must be an order..."). Whereas if it's said with a falling intonation, it's a unisex expression(The meaning is "It's an order...").

使用不可(禁止 means more likely "forbidden".)

Three symbols. Just need them in notepad text form.

Hi to all. First time here.

I don't particularly need help with a translation (might though in future :emoji_wink: ). But, I would appreciate it if someone could type out the following two words so I can copy and paste them in notepad.

Thanks for the help! :
 

Those may or may not be "words" just as they are. Impossible to say without context. They could merely be portions of words.

Here they are:

ま
ない

What do you imagine they mean?
 
Thanks for the quick reply Mike Cash.

You are right. They are part of a whole sentence that I'm trying to translate using a particular method of translating. Also, remember when I said I might need help with translation? Well, I've got the whole sentence down but when I translate, it makes little sense.

Here's the complete sentence:

16大怪獣日本襲来しません

When I translate it, it comes to:

Monster Invades Japan does not 16.

Maybe the sentence has a wrong symbol in it? From what I can tell, it means that 16 monsters do not invade Japan. However, this is part two of a series of sentences. There is more in part 3 which I am currently working on and will likely need help with.

Thanks again.
 
The sentence is correct and exactly means "16 big monsters do not invade/attack Japan." It's just your translation/translating method(google translate?) is wrong.

Yes, I was using google translate. I know its not the best but it would help to get a gist of what the message is trying to say. Thanks for confirming what it says Toritoribe. Also, I got the other part done which is:

バツクアップメモリーがフォーマットされていません

which translates to:

Memory back-up punishment is not formatted.

This one is a weird one. Does it mean that if the memory has not been backed up, the punishment (or result) will be seen if it is formatted?

Also, there was one part which I was having trouble with before the above two. It is here:

The above are followed by ない which Mike helped me out with earlier. The whole thing I could get was this:

魚艹禾れない

The translation I get is "艹禾 not fish". Obviously, this is wrong because the second segment should be on top and not in between. Again, if someone could type out that portion so I could translate it through, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
 
The back up memory is not formatted.

蘇れない

What you are doing is not "translating" but "guessing the meaning" with using google translate.

Arigatou gozaimasu.

I've added your translations to: getlocalization.com/ChargerAlert

For the other part, I've got:
(Note: 'Charger' refers to a mobile phone battery charger.)

Activate Guard? (i.e. Would you like to turn on/start the Charger Guard?)
保護をオンにする？ or 保護を開始しますか？ or 保護をアクティブにしますか？

Deactivate Guard (i.e. Would you like to turn off/stop the Guard)
保護をオフにします？ or 保護を解除？

Answer: Yes / No (in response to the above questions)
はい / いいえ

Charger Guard is Active
充電器のガードがアクティブになっている

Alarm activated by charger guard
アラームは、充電器のガードによって活性化されている

Would Charger Alert (the name of the App) be translated as:
充電警告
 
This is for having a word or phrase translated, as the thread title states, not for having entire software projects translated piecemeal for free.

Technically, you are right. But in a previous attempt a while back, the same method was doing a pretty good job i.e, it was outputting information that was understandable. Don't know why that isn't happening this time around though. But thanks for the help.

Apologies. You're right, looking at the title this isn't the correct place for this. I guess it should be moved / removed.

Google Translate uses a statistical algorithm, which means it has no 'understanding' of grammar built in.
Whether or not it works well for any given sentence will depend on the grammatical closeness of the two languages, the complexity of the sentence, and the similarity of the sentence to the input. And 'understandable' output is not necessarily the same as correct; it (or any automatic translator) often outputs stuff that's not just a little scrambled but plain wrong (like ignoring a verb being in negative form, or using a hilariously inappropriate translation for やる).

And it of course can't tell if what you've given it has any typos in it. e.g. you have バツク not バック above. That's why it got 'punishment' (バツ). "weird" results are usually a sign that the translator is failing. Google Translate does have it's uses, but you need to recognise when it's just fallen over and is giving you rubbish, and not trust the output too much.
 
Reader's Digest version: It sucks.
 

nekojita, you are absolutely right and I agree with you completely. However, this is the only way I can actually make an attempt at trying to understand a piece of Japanese text that strikes my curiosity to know what it means as opposed to just jumping into the forum and going "hi, can you translate this, thx".

I prefer a simple transliterated version; チャージャーアラート.
 
ねえ、タクシーで帰らない？
荷物が多くて、かささせないもん。

What is かささせない? かさ + させない doesn't make sense to me.

Edit: the second sentence seems that the person couldn't call taxi because he had too many packages, but I don't know what form is the verb. If kasu it should be kasasenai not kasasasenai?
 
I would suggest it is 傘、させない (e.g. can't use an umbrella)
(presuming the same person says both lines)

It seems like the first line is a suggestion/invitation to take a taxi back and the second the reason.

Hello, I hope somebody can help me with this.

I'm trying to install an app in my mobile (MAID-san's Battery Check Widget. link here) , which as its name states, it's a battery checker for android.

However, I found an error and I don't understand what it says. I've been trying a lot of ways to translate it (google goggles, google translate, online dictionaries, etc.) but I do not know any japanese... so the task has proven to be very difficult.

I hope you can help me. This is the screen I'm getting:



I just need the text in English, French or Spanish in order to understand what I have to do.

Thank you very much in advance.
 
Not an error, but a notice that it is a widget and you need to go back to home and do a long press in order to add the menu or some such. I have an iPhone and am not familiar with Androids. Your install worked fine, though.
 
Thank you very much Mike,

I tried going home and doing a long press, but that does not work... Could you please help me to translate it literally in order to understand better what I have to do?

I'm sorry to bother, but I would really appreciate your help to sort this out.
