Translated [JA] [Japanese > English/Spanish/German] and viceversa

My friend found this graffiti on the street the other day and wanted to know the exact meaning of it.

I already know it doesn't seem like native Japanese, so could anyone provide a correct translation of "fuck everything"/"scheiss drauf" that preserves this nihilistic tone?

Japanese [Japanese > English] Birdo's character bio on the bottom screen.

Post image
19 Upvotes

For my project in my motion design class, I wanted to cover LGBTQ+ characters and the evolution of their representation. I'm choosing to cover Birdo since our video can only be ~2 minutes. Basically Birdo is female, and she is referred to respectfully in most of the games she is in. Itadaki Street DS (which this screenshot is from) is not one of those games (according to the Mario Wiki) and I'm assuming she is actually being referred to with he/him pronouns. I'm hoping somebody could give me the most accurate translation of just the character bio on the bottom screen. The person who I believe gives the most accurate translation will be credited in my video (unless you don't your username on it for whatever reason).

Bought at a buddhist temple in Korea. I already translated the Korean part. No luck translating the handwritten Chinese parts. If possible, I’d like to read what’s on the red leather pouches in the 2nd and 3rd photos, too.

I get 2 different answers. 1 Tongzhi period made. 2. Qianlong period made. I know it wasn’t made at those times. I am pretty sure it was made late 19th century. I just wanted to get a correct answer. Thank you.

I would like to give some of my art (very very small prints and stickers) as gifts to people in Japan. I want to make sure the translation makes sense. I translated in Google Translate and Papago, and they are slightly different. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

English message:

Hello! I am an artist. Please enjoy my art as a thank you!

Japanese translated message Google Translate:

こんにちは!私はアーティストです。感謝の気持ちを込めて、私の作品を楽しんでいただければ幸いです!

Japanese translated message Papago:

こんにちは!私はアーティストです。 感謝の気持ちとして、私のアートを楽しんでください!

My birthday was yesterday and my coworkers made me a card! One of my coworkers is from Japan and she wrote part of her message in Japanese. I’m assuming it says “happy birthday” in some context, so I asked google translate and it said the message was “happy birthday, husband!” To be clear, I’m a woman 😂 nor are we married.

Unknown [Unknown > English/French] Help identifying the language of a Pope John Paul II Rosary cassette

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have an audio cassette of Pope John Paul II reciting the Holy Rosary, but I can't figure out which language it is in. It seems not to be in polonese, his mother language

Here is a short audio clip: https://voca.ro/1mk4t6lzjhhr

Could someone listen to it and tell me what language is being spoken/prayed?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, I found this text on a piece of clothing and wanted to know what it says. I’m not sure if it’s Japanese; I tried using a translator and it identified it as Japanese, but the translation didn’t make any sense.

Tried to use a translation app to get the gist of them but I’m assuming they’re written in more poetic language as the app was struggling (and was convinced the blue background one said something about soldiers!). Thank you!
