Translation help

If anyone's interested in reading N.Milošević's (he was a Serbian anti-communist academic but his works are rather interesting IMO) The social psychology of Stalinism , i could translate it in perhaps a two week's time.

Sounds like a very interesting read.

I volunteer for Spanish-to-English translation, too.

I would like a translation from English to any other language of a short text about my local branch of the Communist Youth. Could someone help ? I'm especially interested in Spanish, Greek and Italian. But other languages such as Russian or Chinese would be fine.

I could translate into Italian, but it won't be perfect.

Quote:

If nothing else, if anyone knows of a book of a similar nature (in English) I'd be interested to hear suggestions.

This one is rather similar:
The Triumph of Evil: The Reality of the USA's Cold War Victory by Austin Murphy

I want THIS translated



I WANT IT ! I WANT IT ! Help meeeee !

A well known poster by Mayakovski:

Want it? Enter (join in)
1. You want to overcome cold?
2. You want to overcome hunger?
3. You want to eat?
4. You want to drink?
Hasten to enter shock brigades of exemplary labor!

I love the monster on the left. I'm going to vectorize it.

I'm making English subtitles for an old Chinese movie, "The Great Wall" (1938)

Can you revise my English? Here is a first part.

Present

This film was made in 1938 by some filmmakers from the Young Chinese Republic.
It includes many authentic historical documents. It recounts only true stories. It is the true and fair illustration of the atrocious suffering, but also of the heroism of the Chinese people which intend to defend its liberty, its land and its national independance against the Japanese aggressor.

When in August 1938 Japan attacked Soviet Russia, it met from the first hour with such a strong will of resistance that it was forced to negociate and to abandon his views of conquest. Thanks to its firmness, the U.S.S.R. imposed peace.

China, meanwhile, made concessions on concessions for many years to Japan, it gave it Manchuria, Jehol, important territories from the Northern Provinces. But nothing can satisfy the lusts of the warmongers of the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo triangle if they are faced only by weakness, cowardice and complicity.

The Chinese people has understood that persevering in concessions meant the end of its civilization, misery, slavery. It understood that its servitude could not even avoid him war, since wherever militarist Japan sets up, it recruits valid men, uses them as cannon fodder to fulfill its unlimited plans of hegemony.

China united to resist the invader. It has stopped it today. It will drive it out tomorrow. (when refering to China or "the invader" should I write "him/she" or "it"?). And from the sacrifice of today's men and women, a happy China will born, a new bastion of Democracy and Peace.


Edit: This movie is called "Fight to The Last" in English. It was released in the USA but I wasn't able to find any version in English. So I will continue to subtitle it.

I need someone to translate a few lines from Russian to English.

I could try, my Russian isn't very good but still...

I can translate portuguese (or spanish) into english

I would like this song translated:

Остался дом за дымкою степною,
Не скоро я к нему вернусь обратно.
Ты только будь, пожалуйста, со мною,
Товарищ Правда, Товарищ Правда!

Я всё смогу, я клятвы не нарушу,
Своим дыханьем землю обогрею...
Ты только прикажи - и я не струшу,
Товарищ Время, Товарищ Время!

Я снова поднимаюсь по тревоге,
И снова бой, такой, что пулям тесно.
Ты только не сорвись на полдороге,
Товарищ Сердце, Товарищ Сердце!

В большом дыму и полночи, и полдни,
А я хочу от дыма их избавить...
Ты только всё, пожалуйста, запомни,
Товарищ Память, Товарищ Память!

Well someone on YT had already done the translation for The Comrade Song, so:

Home is left behind
A steppe haze,
I'm not returning soon...
Just please, stand by my side
My comrade Truth, my comrade Truth!

I will endure everything, I will not break my vow,
I'll warm the earth with my breath...
Just command - I won't be frightened!
My comrade Time, my comrade Time...

I will arise whenever call comes,
Again the fight, so tense that bullets chase each other,
Just please do not fail me at half-way
My comrade Heart, my comrade Heart!

Smoke covers afternoons and midnights,
I want to set them free, to clear them up!
Just please, remember everything,
My comrade Memory, my comrade Memory.

Ah thanks, this is my favorite song. I'm going to learn it.
