Language translation HELP....

Eledi · Post by **Eledi** » Mon May 12, 2008 9:59 am

Hello guys, i need help; i have to translate the following question into the following languages: Danish,Chinese,Somali,Russian,Turkish,Kurdi,Thai,Afghanistan language,Iraq and Iran....
The question is:
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO SO AS TO SHARE YOUR CULTURE/TRADITIONS AND BE A GOOD REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR COUNTRY IN THE FINNISH SOCIETY?
The answers will help in the development of an already existing(inactive) multicultural centre....we want to get the right answers, we tried to write the question in finnish and most people did not get the point, thats why we are making it easier for them by puting the translating the question into their own languages....and the answers will just come in english or finnish.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE...

Danish:
Hvad vil du gerne gøre for at dele din kultur/traditioner med andre og være en god repræsentant for Danmark i det finske samfund?

Chinese (simplified):

你能为分享你的文化和传统并在芬兰社会里成为你的国家的一个良好代表而做些什么吗？

Mittee jotta tohtisit tehä, jakkookses kultuurijas/tapoijas, ja olleekses ristitty ihmine savolaisuuden ejusmiehnä suuresa etelässä jottiatuota.

(I know *2* peoples that'll kill that besides EP

)

OK, so as our Estonian contingent would wake up:

Mida sina haluad tea, et soovi sinu oma kulduur/traditsioonid tutvuks teha, ja olla hea representatsiooni sinu oma riigi elust soomlaisele?

(its f*d.. I can't get Estonian written properly)

And as for Afrikaans, I'll do it once I find my woordeboek

Granted, can't speak perfect savo by long shot despite being born and raised there, but wouldn't it be more like.

thats nice, but a bit far away from truth

Kuidas tahaksid jagada oma kultuuri/traditsioone ja olla hea oma riigi esindaja soome yhiskonnas.

Why don´t you post it again with a different title. Now people think you need a translation into Finnish. You already have Danish and Chinese and Estonian. Start with a title: For the speakers of Somali,Russian,Turkish,Kurdi,Thai,Afghanistan language,Iraq and Iran....
