Carl: I got it on an Estonian board.
Please use auto pass = Palun kasuta automaatset passi

TAROU: It is right translated but we like to write shorter:
Palun kasuta autopassi!

Jaak: I see. It's similar to English, and easy to understand for me.

Anyone here wants to trade Hindi for Hebrew?

Dank, Dan. Ich habe nicht gewissen, dass du so gut Deutch sprichst.

I think it says something like, "Thanks Dan. I didn't know that you speak German so well." ?

Artful Dodger: Not that Google Translate can be trusted, but it suggests the opposite.

"Thanks, Dan. I'm not certain that you speak so well Deutch"

rod03801: Hmmm, you're probably right. I said happy birthday to a friend in German (they live in Germany) and that was the response. I love the way Google translates it!

Artful Dodger: You're right, Dan. That's exactly what it means.

Pedro Martínez: thanks!

Artful Dodger: No, I never trust google translate. Unless it's something I was pretty sure about anyway. I just felt it was funny how it was saying the opposite, and the placements of the "not" part of the translation, which changed the meaning to the opposite.
I find odd things funny

rod03801: If you find odd things funny that explains why you think I'm funny! I once used google translate here for some Czech translation (English to Czech) and did I ever butcher it!

Zdravo svima! Je li moguće dodati hrvatski jezik na našem siteu? Ja ne vidim razlog da ne može jer već ima npr. bugarski i slovački. Hrvatski mi je najvoljeniji jezik nakon maternjeg bugarskog. A ima li Hrvata na Brain Kingu? Vjerojatno ne bi bilo problem uvesti na siteu i bosanski ili srpski, koje ja također volim.

Орлин: You should ask Fencer. I am not sure how he decides to add languages. I believe people interested in a particular language also contribute to its being implemented and translated onto the site.

Hi. It looks like the board has been "dead" for quite a while. So, I guess I'm resurrecting it :). Here's my question: I was reading a conversation about a couple of movies, and there were two sentences which caught my attention. One said, "The movie is set in ancient China." and the other said (about a different movie), "The movie takes place in Italy." Am I right in thinking that when we're talking about a movie's being set in a place, we're referring to where the plot takes place, like the movie Mummy (the first one) is set in ancient Egypt, and that when we're talking about where a movie takes place, we're discussing where it has been filmed, so technically, a movie can never take place in ancient China? Correct me, please, if I'm wrong. I'll be grateful.

King Reza: Hi Reza, I believe you are wrong indeed. Both terms refer to the plot of the movie, regardless of where the movie was filmed/shot.

I am so apologize. I suppose game Halma better translate on Russian like Хальма, not Уголки. Because Уголки (Corners) is a game with "home" 3x3, and if black finished just after white will be draw.
Can I suggest my help for rules? Some of words not correct...

Stepanov Oleg: Олег, с Русском переводят: Yuri, Crasto, ergart, Helena. Никто другой не может изменить текст. Удачи.

King Reza: IMHO, in the examples both phrases referred to the plot. However, in a different context "takes place" could also mean "filmset". Suggesting that a motion picture was produced during ancient Greece is historically incorrect and technically unattainable.

AlliumCepa: OK. No problems. Just try inform - Russians sentences here not cool. ;-)

Stepanov Oleg: I recommend to contact with Crasto because he is the only active Russian translator now.

Jaak: Thanks

What does "Hovado jedno" mean?

ughaibu: I think that "asshole" would be very close.

Fencer: lol

Fencer:

I see, thanks. I guess my opponent isn't the most gracious of losers. What's a suitable reply?

ughaibu: May God bless you.

ughaibu: Perhaps something like this :

AlliumCepa: :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping for something less subtle than "may god bless you" but less blunt than . I considered ((may god bless you) + ())/2 but that seems to be going the wrong way in terms of subtlety. So I decided on "the pleasure's all mine".

ughaibu: It’s the 1st time I use this smiley. I don’t accept that someone can be rude with me. So, I think my reply wouldn’t be very nice. Your reply is good if you want something polite.

Why are trousers plural but bra singular?

ughaibu: it is a symbol of the toxic masculinity and male dominance oppressing women.
SlashEndOfSarcasm

ughaibu: Yes, it’s curious. In french, the two words are singular.

Heard that in a quiz once. The answer they gave was that originally pants referred to fabric wrapped separately on each leg then wrapped or tied at the waist. Saying that trousers were from a Welsh word meaning tight shorts of some kind lol

Then you could mention tweezers, scissors or pliers. Let's face it English isn't the most straightforward of languages!

:)

Nice works: Is that why we drive on the parkway, and park on the drive way? Or that shipments go by truck, and cargo goes by ship?

Walter Montego:
Exactly !!! Lol

Further proof that english isn't straightforward !
