Translations Needed: Talk to Me in X
FearfulJesuit:
Here's the problem with being a polyglot: if where you live is a highly monolingual area, and is monolingual for hundreds of miles around, how are you supposed to find people to speak with?
Well, you sort of have to advertise yourself. To that end, I'm thinking about designing a series of pins and buttons. The pins will be large enough to be read but not obnoxiously large, and they will have "Talk to me in X" in X (where X is a language), with the associated flag as the background.
So I need translations. For the following languages, "Talk to me in X":
Portuguese
Spanish
Catalan
French
Italian
Romanian
Irish
Scottish Gaelic
Manx
Welsh
Cornish
Breton
Dutch
German
Icelandic
Faroese
Norwegian
Swedish
Danish
Polish
Czech
Slovak
Russian
Ukranian
Belarusian
Slovenian
Croatian
Serbian
Bulgarian
Latvian
Lithuanian
Greek
Albanian
Finnish
Estonian
Hungarian
Arabic
Turkish
Farsi
Hindi (and any other Indian languages you can think of)
Mandarin
Japanese
Korean
Vietnamese
Cambodian
Thai
Indonesian
Swahili
Afrikaans
Malagasy
That should do, I think. Sure, some of you nattering naysayers might say that nobody speaks Cornish (and that's completely true), but, hey, it costs nothing to design, and it's all in good fun. And even if your Cornish is rusty, it makes a good conversation starter. Any other languages you know that have national status will also be used. So help out?
Lectorog:
For Spanish, "Hablame." or "Hablame en español." should do it. I'm far from fluent, though.
Interesting idea. Sorry I can't help much; I'm no polyglot wizard.
