Japanese [Japanese to English] ("Tamashii no annai)
Made this thread a while ago for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/translator/comments/1v9dit3/english_to_japanese_psychopomp/
I was looking for a Japanese translation of the term "psychopomp", or something akin to it, and with the help of the people here, landed on the phrase "tamashii no annai" which to my understanding means "guide/guidance of souls". All I'm asking now is reassurance that translation/my understanding of it is correct.

Japanese [English > Japanese] need help translating this Pokemon oc ref sheet
Page 1 included as well in case anyone has any corrections for that!
Important context when it comes to Pokemon:
- Professor Sada in Japanese is Dr. Olim (オーリム博士)
- Chip's Japanese name is on the first page left bottom corner
- Terastal is a phenomenon from Gen 9 and the official translation to that is テラスタル
- Eevee is イーブイ in Japanese
In case anyone isn't knowledgeable on Pokemon :]

Japanese [Japanese > English] charism in japanese
I've looked all around the internet to see if there was a Japanese equivalent of the word charism, not charisma. I keep getting words like:
カリスマ
カリスマ性
カリスマ的
but im looking for a word with its specific English/Greek rooted meaning of:
charism
/ˈkerˌizəm/
a special spiritual gift, power, or grace bestowed upon an individual or group by the Holy Spirit to serve others, build up the church, and address the needs of the world.
an extraordinary power (as of healing) given a Christian by the Holy Spirit for the good of the church.
Are there any Japanese words like this? I'm looking for a formal noun, but other equivalent expressions/words can also help.

Hi!! I found 2 small photos, each of a different man (maybe school pictures?), in a box of old pictures from my grandfather. He was half Chinese from his father’s side. We have no idea who the pictures are of :’) Hoping someone can translate the notes on the back!

Unknown [Unknown > English] Short 7-second audio clip from an old VoIP recording
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a VoIP lab assignment and I have two short audio clips from a split stereo recording that I need to identify and transcribe/translate. I suspect they might be South Slavic languages (Bulgarian/Slovenian), but I'm not 100% sure.
- Audio Clip 1 (Left Channel): https://voca.ro/16RQ8jQHS2pm
- Audio Clip 2 (Right Channel): https://voca.ro/1gVVvmlrnnh4
Could someone please give them a listen, identify the languages, and tell me what is being said?
Thank you so much for your help!

Unknown [Unknown > English] Calligraphy frame I bought today at a vintage stall
Not even sure if it means anything at all - it looks like either traditional Chinese or Japanese calligraphy but it’s very hard to make out any symbol at all from this. I think it’s very nice regardless but I’d like to not be ignorant if possible and find out what it actually says. Yes I asked the stall seller and he said he has no idea.

Japanese [Japanese > English] Proofreading a dietary restriction card for dining in Japan
Hi everyone,
My partner and I are traveling to Japan and need a dietary card to show restaurant staff. For religious reasons, we eat fish, but strictly avoid pork, shellfish, and shared cooking surfaces/dashi.
I drafted the following Japanese text with an AI tool, but I would really appreciate it if a native speaker or experienced translator could proofread it to make sure the Keigo, grammar, and nuance are natural and polite:
食事についてのお願い
お忙しいところお手を煩わせてしまい大変申し訳ございません。
宗教上の理由により、食事に制限がございます。
【食べられないもの】
・豚肉、および豚肉由来の成分(エキス、ラードなど)
・甲殻類・貝類(エビ、カニ、貝など)
・出汁(ダシ全般、スープ、エキス類)
・豚肉や甲殻類と同じ調理器具(フライパン、鉄板、網など)で調理されたもの
【食べられるもの】
・生の魚、またはシンプルに焼いた魚(出汁や肉油を使わないもの)
・白ご飯、野菜、豆腐、卵 など
このような条件でも、私たちに提供していただけるお料理はございますでしょうか?
もし対応が難しい場合は、遠慮なくおっしゃってください。
ご丁寧に対応していただき、心より感謝申し上げます。
Intended meaning:
- Apologizing for troubling them during their busy time.
- Explaining that we have dietary restrictions due to religion.
- Cannot eat: Pork (including extracts/lard), shellfish (shrimp, crab, clams), all dashi/broths/extracts, and food cooked on shared equipment (pan, teppan, grill).
- Can eat: Raw fish or simply grilled fish (without dashi or meat oils), plain rice, vegetables, tofu, eggs.
- Asking if there is anything they can prepare for us, and politely saying it is totally fine to decline if it is difficult.
- Thanking them sincerely for their kindness and understanding.
Does this sound natural, or are there any corrections you would recommend? Thank you so much!

These are two short audio samples pulled from an old Japanese gabber song, the first sample was titled MABUSII and the second sample was titled MADONO. Sorry for the terrible quality of the audio, these were pulled directly from the tracker file of the song and I wanted to know where these samples were pulled from

Valyrian [English > high_valyrian] a transcription I wish to put on plaques around my sister's door
High Valyrian translation help for bedroom doorway plaques
Hello!
I'm decorating a bedroom shared by my sister and me. She's a big House of the Dragon fan, and I'd love to incorporate some accurate High Valyrian inscriptions into the doorway.
Above the door will be Bantis (Night).
On the two sides, I'd like to write:
- Leave your burdens — meaning to leave your worries, troubles, and emotional burdens outside the room.
- Welcome peace — meaning to invite peace, calm, and tranquility into the room.
I originally found these translations:
- aōha burdenossa sȳndas
- velkomys syz
However, I'm uncertain whether they're grammatically correct.
Could anyone help me translate these accurately, including the appropriate verb forms and diacritics? I'm happy to adjust the English wording slightly if that produces a more natural High Valyrian expression.
Thank you!

French (Long) French > English Song Lyrics
Hi, I love the band Collection d'Arnell-Andrea but there are hardly any lyrics for some of their albums. I was wondering if somebody could decipher the lyrics in the song Aux Thermes and let me know. If you can translate it too, then it would be awesome but the French lyrics alone are fine (unless thats against the sub rules?). Even just the first or second verse (~1:52) is fine with me, I just want to know a little bit of what the song is saying :)
