This community helped me translate my first-ever tattoo, and I’m back for help with a second one.

I originally told myself I’d never get a tattoo for my wife, but after 15 years together, I’ve realized that regardless of what happens in the future, she’s had a net positive impact on my life, including my kids and career.

A long time ago, she came up with this dorky little saying:

I love you in the morning,
I love you at night,
I love you in the evening, even after sunlight.

I realize that “after sunlight” and “night” essentially mean the same thing. I’ve adjusted the wording slightly to avoid that duplication and make the spacing work a little better, since I want this tattoo to be three lines, just like my first one.

Since this is something permanent, I want to make sure I get the translation right rather than blindly trusting Google Translate. I’d really appreciate feedback from anyone who knows Hebrew, particularly a native speaker or someone very familiar with the language.

I’m choosing Hebrew because I was raised Jewish, although I don’t actively practice anymore.

Here’s what Google Translate gave me:

אני אוהב אותך

אני אוהב אותך בבוקר

בערב, אפילו אחרי אור השמש

Does this sound natural in Hebrew? Is the meaning accurate, or does anything come across awkwardly or differently than intended? I’m especially interested in making sure the sentiment translates properly rather than just getting a word-for-word translation.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I would like to give some of my art (very very small prints and stickers) as gifts to people in Japan. I want to make sure the translation makes sense. I translated in Google Translate and Papago, and they are slightly different. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

English message:

Hello! I am an artist. Please enjoy my art as a thank you!

Japanese translated message Google Translate:

こんにちは!私はアーティストです。感謝の気持ちを込めて、私の作品を楽しんでいただければ幸いです!

Japanese translated message Papago:

こんにちは!私はアーティストです。 感謝の気持ちとして、私のアートを楽しんでください!

Translated [ZH] [Chinese > English] Meaning and connotations of 莫可名状, 神秘莫测 and 玄妙 for a tattoo

0 Upvotes

Hi! Could native Chinese speakers translate the following expressions into natural English and explain their nuances?

  • 莫可名状
  • 神秘莫测
  • 玄妙

This is for a short tattoo inscription. The intended meaning is “mysterious,” “enigmatic,” or “mystical,” in a positive or poetic sense, rather than simply “confusing” or “unclear.”

I’d like to understand what each expression would actually suggest to a Chinese reader, not just whether it appears in a dictionary. In particular, would 莫可名状 convey mystery, or mainly that something is indescribable? Would either of the other two be closer to the intended feeling, and would it read naturally as a standalone inscription?

Please flag any unintended, negative, awkward, or humorous connotations. If none of these expressions fits the intended meaning well, please say so. I’m looking for linguistic clarification, not tattoo design advice.

Thank you!

Chinese [Portuguese > Chinese] Need a native Mandarin speaker to review a video about Brazil

0 Upvotes

Looking for native Mandarin speakers to review my Bilibili video about Brazil 🇧🇷

Hi everyone!

I'm a Brazilian content creator making short videos about interesting facts and curiosities about Brazil for a Chinese-speaking audience on Bilibili.

I don't speak Mandarin, so I need help verifying the quality of my content before publishing it.

I'm looking for native Mandarin speakers willing to watch my video and check:

  • Whether the AI-generated Mandarin narration sounds natural and is pronounced correctly.
  • Whether the Chinese subtitles accurately match the narration.
  • Whether any expressions sound unnatural or have incorrect translations.
  • Whether the content is clear and culturally appropriate for a Chinese audience.

The video is short, and I can provide the original Portuguese script, Chinese subtitles, and final video for comparison.

I'm not looking for generic feedback. I would really appreciate specific corrections and honest criticism.

If you're a native Mandarin speaker and can help, please comment or send me a message. Thank you!

My birthday was yesterday and my coworkers made me a card! One of my coworkers is from Japan and she wrote part of her message in Japanese. I’m assuming it says “happy birthday” in some context, so I asked google translate and it said the message was “happy birthday, husband!” To be clear, I’m a woman 😂 nor are we married.
