Hi, I am using google translate to translate "deep hunger" to Japanese(深い空腹) however when I change the capitalization to "Deep Hunger" it seem like the translation(ディープハンガー) changes dramatically. I know Google translate is not a really good translater but can someone explain the difference and let me know which one is the right way to use? Thanks in advance.

I guess when Google translate sees capitalization, it assumes the word is a proper noun, and rather than translate it into Japanese it just renders it into a phonetic approximation of the English original.

What kind of hunger are you talking about?

Tattoo?

I'm trying to have a sign it says "Deep Hunger" in Japanese characters but not sure which translation is right.

Physical hunger? Emotional yearning?

Thanks for the reply.

It is more like having a deep hunger to find yourself or to find your inner fire(or whatever that is giving you a power) so you can keep going/moving forward.
