🌍 Do you speak a language other than English? I need your help!
I’m working on a landing page, and a little easter egg is that the tagline can be translated into a bunch of different languages.
If you’re a native speaker, I’d love if you could review my machine translations. ❤️

(Also, it appears spaces aren’t a thing in Japanese, but I need to wrap spans around each word for a separate easter egg effect; can you plz add spaces between words?)

In the original Spanish version, both charming and delightful are being translated using the same adjective
I also changed “Aprenda” for “Aprende” which addresses the reader more personally (I’m sure there’s a word for it but I’m not a linguist 😂).
Hope it helps!

Spanish from Spain… don’t know if that will sound ok to an american spanish speaker.

This version shows the *intention* and sounds *natural*, also *neutral* across all Spanish dialects ;)

Take special attention not to say "artículo", given that this is not a blog post :). You could also say "En este curso" if you want to specify.
En este artículo comparto mi trucos.
"Séduisantes" instead of "charmantes" ou 'attirantes",
"Charmantes" would be "cute"
"delightful touches" : "détails enchanteurs"

I also added "vous" at the end which means "with you".
Only part I'd change is:
> Je partage tous mes trucs
(In other words, I do kinda speak it but it’s very choppy 😅)
(Also sorry for the lack of accents, I don’t know how to type them)
This should be better a little better

Please rephrase what you mean by "touche" in English , could have couple meanings in french , you mean as in "personal details" ?
It reminds me of the use in painting, putting color with the tip of a brush. Impressionists used it a lot.
So a translation would be "avec des touches de génie".

Yeah, Google Translate gave me "astuces", which is a word I've never heard despite going to French school for 6 years. Wonder if it's a Quebec difference?
Gonna go with yours regardless, thanks!
He's French

I’m adding credits under each translation, let me know if you’d prefer to be credited as something other than "Kyrre" (or removed entirely).

If it would be more natural to say the equivalent of "create wonderful experiences on the web using the magic…", that’s totally alright 👍

I’m adding small credits below the translations, let me know if you’d like to be credited as something other than "dorag"

Could I trouble you to translate the second line as well, "I’m sharing all my tricks in this one!"
(If "in this one" doesn't make sense in Montenegrin, it could also be "in this course". And feel free to take some liberties, doesn't have to be a direct 1:1 translation!)
You can put Ivan Jovanović 😊

The course is called "Whimsical animations", but this translation is displayed right below that name. Is there a way to say "in this course" or something more generic?
Last question: I’m adding credits below each translation. I have you tentatively as "Pablo", let me know if you’d prefer something else (or would prefer not to be credited at all).

Also, I translated "this one" to "this course" for lack of a better direct translation
And yeah, it’s been a good opportunity for me to learn about RTL languages on the web!

The adjectives feels a bit wrong but it’s a start 😊
I’ve seen both @paolo.ricciuti.me and @lucacolonnello.bsky.social suggestions, but since I worked on marketing for a bit I think that mine suits better (kudos to them for inspiration)
To maintain a friendly, casual and playful tone I whould write something like this:
Thread 🧵
>
> Scoprirai tutti i miei segreti!
Instead of
> Impara come creare
Because “come” is a bit too literal translation
Source: https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/imparare/
Is the best adaptation of
> charming animations and delightful touches
That I can think of, but there’s a lot of room for changes here
Sources:
- https://www.wordreference.com/enit/charming
- https://www.wordreference.com/enit/delightful
It’s not a literal translation because if it was it would mean something else.
A bit of context of where this will end up can help a lot to shape this last sentence.

I’m adding credits below each translation, let me know if you’d like me to use something other than "PanDemic Sub Mousewifey" (or if you’d prefer not to be mentioned at all).

@Mark- that was a really lousy thing to do. Someone’s trying to do something important and you pull this?
But there’s no harm 😄 I do double-check all of these, and the randomness of Google’s translation did make me chuckle.
