A conversation in WHC today brought to light the fact that I would like to have things I can copy/paste into chat. Please contribute. If you see something that is not translated into your language, please translate it and explain to me any nuances about that phrase that I might not understand as an American. There is often cultural significance that can't be captured in a direct translation. Feel free to add phrases for people to translate as well.

=Sample Format=

Sample Format:

== "Phrase/concept to translate"==

* <big>"Phrase/concept to translate"</big>

~~===~~Language~~===~~

: Language

* "Phrase in this language" - Translators name

::"Phrase in this language" - Translators name

: English explanation of the meaning. For instance if you may not be a direct translation, you might be making a translation of the idea and you want to note what you're really saying

=The list=

The list:

== "I don't know what you're saying, I'm sorry. Can you say it in english?"==

* "I don't know what you're saying, I'm sorry. Can you say it in english?"

~~===~~German~~===~~

: German

*"Alder, seh ich aus aus würd ich dich verstehen? Tipp englisch." - Dunar Dolorgiet

:: "Entschuldigung, ich verstehe kein deutsch. Kannst du es auf englisch wiederholen?" - Sayod

: ultra informal, aggressive

::: Literally: "Sorry, I don't understand german. Can you repeat it in english?" You actually differentiate two different "you" in german - the sentence uses the informal one, since it is a computer game, even though you are probably talking to strangers. The second sentence would be "Können Sie es auf englisch wiederholen?" if you want to be a bit more old fashioned/polite.

*"~~Tut mir leid, ich spreche leider kein Deutsch. Könnt Ihr Englisch?~~" ~~- Dunar Dolorgiet~~

::"Alder, seh ich aus aus würd ich dich verstehen? Tipp englisch." - Dunar Dolorgiet

: ~~informal~~

::: ultra informal, aggressive (below uni standards)

* "Verzeihung, ich verstehe Sie leider nicht. Könnten Sie bitte auf Englisch wechseln? Danke" - Dunar Dolorgiet

* "Hello! :)"

: ~~formal~~

: German

== "~~Hello~~! :)==

:: "Hallo! :)" - Sayod

== "I hope you're having a fantastic day!==

* "I hope you're having a fantastic day!"

== "I didn't want that ship anyway"==

: German

:: "Einen schönen Tag noch!" - Sayod

::: Literally: "A nice day still" It is hard to translate "noch" in a sensible way - the "still" would be completely out of place in english.

* "I didn't want that ship anyway"

:German

:: "Ich wollte das Schiff sowieso nicht" - Sayod
