All the icons got all big and wonky. I even had trouble making this post.

I moved to Japan about 16 years ago and my family who is visiting me showed me the new King Charles loonie. When I put it in hand, it felt much thinner than what I remember. Is this because it IS actually thinner or am I just too used to Japanese coins?

Here is the context it was used in:

D’après elle, « l’essai de décriminalisation » du gouvernement était voué à l’échec dès le départ.

Thank you in advance.

On a somewhat related note, does anyone know of websites or channels that are less depressing than CBC where I can read, listen to, or watch French content? I recently started using Loops, and the algorithm started suggesting some French accounts. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it.

I think "à la suite d'une fusillade mortelle" means "following a fatal shooting," but can't figure out without the first half. Something tells me that "crie" is not a verb in this case...

I could use Google translate, but I'd rather have a discussion with people here!

Hi guys. Another request about understanding a French joke. Why is "checkered jacket," a funny punchline?

Hey guys, I made that post about teaching Japanese by playing games together about a month ago. I have one Lemmy user who is available today. It's super short notice but we'll be playing in about an hour (9pm Japan time). I'm not sure which platform that bought the game on, but it's probably going to be either Switch or PC. Feel free to join us if you're available as I think the game allows for 4 players simultaneously. Thanks!

Edit: lots of typos

Does the person filming mention why he's picking up a single tadpole to take to the basin? I don't see the point in filming that part as I don't understand Spanish (I think) at all.

I like courses for online learning and wanted to learn how to use Godot to make games. If anyone knows a platform, or a tutor who might be able to teach a guy during the evening on weeknights (Japan time), that would be greatly appreciated!

Is it just that the lady being recirded is trying to give a clever answer "poisson" because it's already under water and maybe because it rhymes with boisson, but then the cameraman is just giving a straightforward answer (a zebu)?

Sorry about all the Instagram videos, it's about all I get my French content right now. I can stop if it bothers Lemmy users , or at least try to transcribe it instead.

Transcription

Woman 1: Quel animal n’a jamais soif?

Woman 2: Le poisson. [unintelligible for me, perhaps: C’est pas?]

Woman 1: Le zébu.

Note: this is an example of a translation request.

Per the title, what does this tattoo say?

Note: This is just an example of a translation request.

What is the character on the left saying? I can read the character, but I can't understand what that single sound is supposed to mean.

Hey everyone. I just started a community where you can request pro/amateur translators for translations. Anyone can make requests, and anyone can translate!

I was a very active member of /r/translators on Reddit until the platform banned me (not the sub, they were great).

I'm a Japanese-English translator by profession and would love to help you guys out with quick translations. There used to be a lot of requests on Reddit for tattoo ideas.

I haven't added a rule for keeping requests reasonable (i.e. don't expect us to translate a whole book), and not to charge money for translations but don't know how to word it right. I guess I should also decide if NSFW requests would be ok or not. So if anyone could help me there as well, that would be super!

どうぞよろしくお願いいたします！
