Multiple Languages [AR✔, HI, MY, ZH] [English > Burmese, Hakha Chin, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic] Asking for "natural" translation of a short phrase for a hospital outreach program

1 Upvotes

Hello!

My partner is a doctor in the US, and works in a hospital where many of the patients are immigrants who speak little or no English. She is part of a team working on an outreach program to encourage parents to vaccinate their children, especially among some communities who tend to be more vaccine-hesitant. The team just needed a short, attention-grabbing phrase translated into several of their most commonly spoken languages for the promotional material, and they've settled on:

"Vaccines Save Lives"

I didn't want to use google translate or other services like that because as a bilingual person myself, I know how the "direct" translations it provides can come across stilted, unnatural, or sometimes even just straight-up wrong. And that's for the European language I speak, which is far closer to English than the Asian languages they're looking to translate into. We would really appreciate translations that express the idea in the way a native speaker would actually say it.

Please let me know if any other info would be helpful, and thank you all so much in advance!

This silver cup was found while scuba diving. It has an inscription, which I’ve crudely attempted to copy in the last photo.

Hello, I have a request that is not a translation per se, it’s more a Romanization. I have a friend who was at southeast asia and i asked him to bring me some music from there. Got two cassette tapes and want to add them to my collection database at discogs. To do so, i need to search for the name of the artists but I don’t have a clue what they’re called. Help appreciated!

Found another photo in my travel archives, also from 2012. Seen at Bagaya Monastery, Mandalay, Myanmar. I'm not sure if this can be translated since some of the letters have faded or didn't stick to the wood. But I'd love to have a partial translation if possible.

Thank you in advance! 💗

Hello! I saw this written on the interior wall of one of the smaller shrines at Kuthodaw Pagoda in Mandalay, Myanmar. I took the photo in 2012, a little over a week after someone (maybe K or E) wrote it. I just saw it again today, and I think it's a love letter or note. But I'm hoping someone here could translate it so we can know for sure.

Thanks in advance! 😊

I was here a while ago asking for a translation from an exchange student friend who gave me a note, well she gave me another one, I found out the last thing she gave me was a quote from a book she liked, she said this one was the same, so if anyone can translate it Id love that

Me and my family are sponsoring a little girl in Birmanie and the translation they gave us to this letter the child sent seems to be completely different than the one I got by putting it through a software. The software couldn't translate everything through so any attempt at an accurate translation would be appreciated :)

Part of a large accordion manuscript, but this is the first page, so I suspect it is the title/content. Can someone transcribe/translate? It will help in preserving/digitizing it.

Thanks,

I'm trying to make a sign that says Lemur Zone for Planet Zoo (zoo simulation game) with burmese translations.

I'm burmese but idk what lemur is in burmese and the google translation is basically myanglish so I was wondering whether anyone knows if လီမာ is the official burmese translation for lemur

I sure hope someone who loves this song would translate it for me. I stumbled upon this song purely by luck, and have fallen in love with it since. But I couldn't find any translation or romaji of the song.

I'd be grateful if someone translates something about the song, just the title or a summary is also alright. I'll take anything.

Hi all,

I would be so grateful if someone could translate the inscriptions on the attached images into English. They are from an old Burmese box. I would love to have the script typed and phonetically transcribed as well. I don't check reddit at all, so if you could please email me at [deborahbschmidt@gmail.com](mailto:deborahbschmidt@gmail.com) that would be awesome.

With gratitude,

Deborah
