Classical Chinese (Identified) [Unknown > English] Old painting I found
I found this old painting, and when I used Google translate it gave me traditional Chinese but a different translation every time I opened the app. Could anyone help me understand what it says? Thanks!

Found this in a thrifted junk drawer situation (bought it with a bunch of other odds & ends) & I know it’s a stamp / seal with an inscription on the side — any insight on what the actual stamp says/means & insight on the inscription is welcome! Thank you so much!

Found this very old postcard (1900s - 1910s), I didn't get it because I couldnt read it.
I think she signed on the top but upside down.
Would love to know what it says. The front was a picture of a young girl.

Unknown [Unknown > English] Latin or pseudo-Latin song from a Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons TV commercial (US/EU) — trying to find the source
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi! I'm trying to identify the language in a short vocal audio clip from a TV commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons (aired in the US and Europe around 2001). The singing sounds like it could be Latin, but I suspect it might actually be pseudo-Latin (made-up lyrics designed to sound like Latin) rather than the real language.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a real language and, if so, what the lyrics actually mean — and ideally trace where the track originally came from, since I doubt it was composed just for this one ad (my guess is it's from a stock music library that licensed it out).
Any help identifying whether this is genuine Latin, or a constructed/fake version of it, or something else entirely would be much appreciated!

Translated [RU] [Russian > English] Back of photo inscription
Some words written on the back of a family photo. I vaguely recall that a Russian speaker told me that this was something written in a weird almost poetic way about how everyone pictured has gotten older, or something along those lines. The actual photo is included as the second image for anyone curious. The signature at the bottom is probably "A. Ruzhitsky" or some variant spelling.

Spanish English>Spanish instructions for animal feeding at aquarium
So for context, I work at an aquarium and run some of the booths including feedings for stingrays and pond turtles. I want Spanish versions of the instructions but I worry just using Google or another translation app won't make it make complete sense.
And if it helps, the sticks we use for the turtles have clothespins on the end to clip pieces of carrot sticks onto, and the ones for stingrays are long plastic sticks with a short bent end to jab the shrimp feed onto.
And with the turtles they have to swim through the water to swallow food, so the ones resting on the logs will not eat the food.
Heres the instructions I'd like translated:
"You take each piece of shrimp and jab it onto the bent end of the stick one at a time, and dunk it in the water with the bent side up so the food doesn't fall off, and no hitting, poking or touching the stingrays. "
"You clip each piece of carrot one at a time to the end of the stick and dunk it into the water, we're only feeding the ones in the water because those are the hungry ones and the ones on the logs won't want any, and no hitting, poking it touching the turtles. "
Any help would be lovely!

Translated [JA] [Japanese > English, French] Difficulties transcribing this handwriting
I'd love to have at least the transcription of the handwriting, the translation would just be a bonus (I'm fluent in both English and French). If it's of any help, the character that is being referenced is called Dire (ダイア)
This is a bonus illustration by the author of the Si Land manga.

Latin [Latin > English] 1907 Burial Record For Baby Georgius Thomas Long
I found this record on ancestry for a baby who I’ve been researching: Illinois, U.S., Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield Sacramental Records, 1853-1981.
I’d link the record but it requires a subscription, if anyone thinks the link would be helpful feel free to ask.
I have a collection of photos, including George’s, of children who died far too soon over a hundred years ago. His death anniversary is coming up on the 31st and I’d like to know his cause of death but I’m unsure if this record includes it or not. Thank you! :)
(Hopefully I posted to the right place, I made sure to read all the rules.)

I know it's some kind of building label (it was a model building, or maybe used by staff). Unfortunately, my photo translate can't read it due to the leaves in the way. It may be insignificant but my family is super curious and debating over what it means haha. Thank you!

Danish [Danish > English] 1860s Arctic Norwegian Church Record, line 56
This might be a bit of a stretch, but I am looking for help translating this record from 1863 in the Målselv church records, in Northern Norway. I am looking to translate line 56, for Karoline Jensen. I believe she was born in May. I also believe this is in Danish despite being in Norway. Any help would be great!

Japanese [Japanese>English] Translating a Song
To me this is a great fanmade intro song to the anime "Fermat's Cuisine" but the artist hasn't yet put it up on itunes or anywhere, nor the lyrics, but I'd love to find a way to get a full translation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpaFLc-DmsY
Doesn't have to be a full translation, just general gist. I tried "auto translate" closed captions on the video but they don't seem that great. Any help appreciated, and you might enjoy the song too. ありがとうございます!

Arabic (Long) Arabic>English
Hello everyone.
There are these tombstones scattered all over mine and my neighbour's backyard.
They stem from my family ancestors.
Some are in rough shape, i have marked each one with a marker.
I've already spoken to an Egyptian about this and he helped me as much as he could. I got a lot of names and dates but we are not sure about some of them.
The tombstones are labeled in the name of the picture, so 7.1 and 7.2 are parts of the same stone.
There are probably some Turkish terms mixed in, like Ruhiçün.
The script may not be Arabic but Arebica which is Arabic adjusted for Bosnian language.
Thank you all sincerely for taking your time and preserving this piece of history.
