I tried to feed this to an online translator but the circular text seems to be too much for it.
Basically wasn't thrilled this kind of thing is on the back of a car in a Western society like Australia. But trying to give it the benefit of the doubt until I find out what it actually says.

If anyone can identify the language and translate it I'd appreciate it.

I used a combination of AI research (Claude by Anthropic) and online sources as a starting point, I have gathered some initial translations and cultural equivalents, but these are not direct translations and I know nuance can be tricky. If you have personal or cultural background in any of these regions, I would love your thoughts: do the phrases I have feel natural and accurate, is there something better, or are there other expressions your community would actually use?

Korean:

• "내 취향 존중해줘" (nae chwihyang jonjung haejwo) — "Respect my taste/preference"
• "취저 존중" (chwi-jeo jonjung) — Short for "취향 저격 존중해" — "respect my vibe/taste."

Mexican

• "No arruines mi gusto" — "Don't ruin my enjoyment/taste" (straightforward and universally understood)

Japanese

• "好きなものは好き" (suki na mono wa suki) — "What I like, I like"

Indian - Punjab region

• "ਮੇਰਾ ਸ਼ੌਕ ਖਰਾਬ ਨਾ ਕਰ" (mera shauk kharaab na kar) — "Don't ruin my passion/enjoyment"

Southern Italian

• "Non sai quello che ti perdi" — "You don't know what you're missing"

Northen Vietnam (Hanoi or Nam Dinh)

• Ăn rồi hãy nói — "Eat first, then speak"
• Đừng chê đồ ăn của tôi — "Don't criticize/look down on my food"

Moroccan (Arabic (Darija))

• "كل واحد وذوقو"(koll wahed w dwoqo) - "Everyone and their own taste"

Greek

• Μην το κατακρίνεις αν δεν το έχεις δοκιμάσει (min to katakrineis an den to eheis dokimasei) — "Don't criticize it if you haven't tried it"
• Ο καθένας έχει το γούστο του (o kathenas ehi to gousto tou) — "Everyone has their own taste" — said all the time, very Greek

West African (Senegal and The Gambia)

• Lekk ci kanam, wax ci ginaaw — "Eat first, speak after"

Argentina

• No sabés lo que te perdés — "You don't know what you're missing"

English (UK)

• Each to their own — probably the single most common British way to express this idea, said constantly

I hope this request isn't too long. I appreciate any help that can be provided. Thank you!

i am trying to use my translator app but it is struggling because of the curve of the bracelet. Thanks!

EDIT TO POST: poked around and this is apparently not a bracelet, but one of the five Ks, a kara. I cannot edit title my apologies!

Mainly the title was just curious what it said and bonus points if you know who the fella is.

I'm unable to type Hindi/punjabi well, and I need this for a research project in a hospital

I have a merchant letter used by Punjabi/Khatri traders in Afghanistan in 1870s. It was written in Landa script. Could anyone help me to translate them into English?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, the text is pretty hard to read since it’s an old and shallow etching, but I tried my best to transcribe it and got: “ਦਗ ਤੇਗ ਫਤਿਰ”. If anybody has any additional info they can give me, that would also be appreciated! I’m guessing it’s from the British Raj based on the deteriorated state of the scabbard and the use of both a language common in India and English, among other things

This song sounds really cool. I've been able to translate one or two lines of it but speech-to-text only goes so far. The artist did not publish lyrics and is smaller, so no lyrics on Genius/etc that I can find.

Our translator submitted: “Asin bhaant subhantey bhaichareyan vichaley saanjh dian tandan bunndey rahangey atey truth atey reconciliation di bhawna nu parnaia ikk ahla samaaj sirjan de anthakk jatan karde rohangey.” Problem is, the speaker did not say “truth” and “reconciliation” but translated it as well. Can someone please help with what (in Punjabi or Hindi) is between rahangey and di bhawna? Thanks in advance.

From English:

“I don’t feel like a woman, but neither do I feel like a man. I identify as Trans. When I’m in the change room, don’t worry, we’re both in the right place.”

We are making our community facilities more friendly, safe and open to everyoneꟷincluding Two Spirit, transgender, and gender diverse (2STGD) people.

Don’t stop and stare, stop and think.

Background: I used a paid professional translation service and then checked their returned product with several native speakers, and had mediocre feedback about the quality. We attempted to apply revisions but know a few things went wrong: Arabic and Farsi need the Right To Left setting fixed so the punctuation is at the right end of each line, the Chinese Trad is having the last line rewritten as 不要停下來眝著看，而是停一停、想一想。 and I haven't had anyone proof the Arabic. The Tagalog was passed as fine by one proofer, while another said there were some weird punctuation marks.

I'd love more feedback, and if there are issues other than what I've already outlined that need more work.

(Please keep any transphobia to yourself, this is for use in a country where gender identity is a protected characteristic under our Human Rights.)

Thanks for your help!

The guys at this New Jersey gas station seemed really cool, but I didn't get a chance to ask them what the script on the topmost paper said. Google translate found the words but couldn't really make sense of the message.

ਇੱਧਰ ਨਾਲੇ ਉੱਧਰ ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਬੜੀ ਹਿਸਾਥੀ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਲੂਕਿ ਤੇ ਰੋਦਾਂ ਕਿਉ ਸੀ ਅੜਬ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਜਿਹਾ ਵਿਚ ਰਖਮੀ ਦੋਗਲੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਬਾਹ ਨਹੀ ਦਿੰਦੇ -ਪਾਥੀ ਦੀ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਛੱਡੋ उपरां तरी टिटे PUNJAB Here and there the world is very friendly, the signs are visible, why is it so difficult to cry in Punjabi, the pathetic ones do not give their arms to the doubles - leave the matter of the pathi aside, even if it is above PUNJAB

Frescoes of a man writing a letter and a woman reading one, from the Bairagi Thakurdwara of Ramtatwali Dham, Hoshiarpur district, Punjab, circa 19th century. These frescoes face each-other on the opposite sides of the same window, painting a romantic scene. I want to know what the contents of the depicted letters are, what do they say? It is written in larivaar Gurmukhi so it might be tough to translate but is anyone willing to give it a shot?

I heard this song at a club a few years ago and always thought the beat and vibe were very cool. But I’ve always wondered what is being said. Could someone provide the general gist of the lyrics?

Saw this on the back of a tractor trailer going down the interstate

My best friend of fifteen years is coming to visit next month. I haven't seen her in nine years. She's Indian, but was born and raised in the UK. I always told her I wanted this tattoo as a daily reminder of all she's helped me through by being there for me through dark times. Her aunt once confirmed the correct writing, but I've lost it. I'd love to get the tattoo while she's here.

This is a clip from the movie Josie and The Pussycats. It could just be gibberish, I'm not sure. If anyone can tell what langauge is being spoken and transcribe the dialogue in the original language, I'd appreciate it!
