Not to be rhe ten millionth person to say “USAmerican President Donald Trump Is An Incoherent Public Speaker Whose Train Of Thought Can Be Best Described As Scat Jazz” but I just remembered that when he talks at international events it is several dozen people’s job to translate what he’s saying and what he intends to say to world leaders in real time
And I desperately wish to hear how they do it
If anyone reading this isn’t fluent enough in English to understand the sentences that man says, please know that he has essentially mixed a number of adjectives and topics together in a hat and is pulling them out at random like a horrible children’s game
Like that waxy jaundiced bitch will straight up be like “J'étais sur internet l'autre jour – internet, la plus grande invention américaine. Et la Chine a “internet aussi. Pas un bon internet, pas comme le mien, j'ai un internet formidable. Les gens me disent : « Donald, ton internet est génial ! » On adore l'internet de Donald. Mais la Chine… Chine, Chine, Chine… Vous savez qu'ils mangent des oiseaux ? C'est terrible. J'adore les oiseaux. La Chine mange des oiseaux. Pas comme nous. Pas comme mes oiseaux. Mais vous savez, c'est comme ça, et c'est terrible. Mais voilà ce que je vais faire : je vais sauver les oiseaux. Je vais sauver internet et sauver les oiseaux. Tous ces magnifiques oiseaux. Pour l'Amérique. Et la Chine va nous détester pour ça. Ils vont nous détester parce qu'on est les meilleurs sur oiseaux”. And people will lose their minds
International translators have had this problem for A While - if they *don't* clean up what he says to sound coherent, they look like they're doing a bad job.
Explore Trump translation challenges, tips for interpreters, and 2025 strategies for accurate political translation and Trumpslation success
oh my god
There was a scandal in Poland because one translator decided to translate him accurately, tone, vocabulary level and word salad tangents and all. Polish conservatives who don't speak English and previously only heard smoothed out translations that sounded coherent and used big words were up in arms about how the translator was "inserting her political agenda", "mocking him", "exaggerating", "purposefully trying to make him look bad" and "incredibly unprofessional". I listened to the translation in question. It was literally just accurate.
5. Sensitive and Controversial Language Trump’s speeches occasionally contain misogynistic, sexist, or inflammatory language. Japanese interpreter Tsuruta, for example, faced challenges when translating sexualized remarks, ultimately opting for standard terminology to maintain professionalism. Similarly, Chinese translator Kumiko Torikai found certain lewd expressions ethically challenging, ultimately leading to her retirement. Navigating these situations requires skillful balancing of accuracy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that the translation is appropriate without distorting the original intent.
I don't know why the authors of PoliLingua act as if Trump's verbal misogyny and racism wasn't very much part of his "original intent".
it only now dawns on me that millions of people on this planet think Trump is way smarter than he is because translators have neglected to relate his violent speech accurately out of misunderstood politeness. Make the ape sound like a ape
it's really gross how you can be self aware enough to know what's going on in your head but you can't actually stop it from happening. i need to grab it like a pigeon that got stuck in a house and throw it out the window. be free
friend is trying to convince me this is a common experience and I do not believe her, so
Do you expect to be paid back if you pay for something for your friend while you’re hanging out? (I.E. a ride, a meal, a trinket.)
Yes, always
Yes, but only if it’s above a limit of money
No, never
I don’t buy things for my friends.

For a more illustrative example, say you go to the movies with a friend and you buy them popcorn, do you expect them at some point to send you money back via cash or through an app of some kind? Will you be upset if they don’t?

The EU decided to take a page out of the american book and get rid of the customs free small package rule. The new fee isn't high so I'll live, but it's made me wonder. What the fuck are the crazy high customs fees I've been paying on small packages until now then? Has postnord been scamming us all this whole time?

Bombina bombina is easily the most distinctive of the members of the Northern European herpetofauna. Like other members of the genus Bombina, it advertises its toxins with these bright ventral (underside) markings, which it displays in a yoga pose called the Unken Reflex (Unke is the German word for these frogs, which in English we often call fire-bellied toads, although they have nothing to do with true toads in the family Bufonidae, having their own family instead, Bombinatoridae). They are quite threatened in Denmark, and we are at the far western edge of their range, but they are doing fine through most of the rest of it, which extends well into Asia.
At my SFO (after-school program) we had two of these guys. I wonder about the legality; if they were wild-caught or came from a pet store. I went to SFO from 2004-2008, and the frogs were already close to 25 years old at that point. Incredibly, I still have photos
I rarely use the excuse that "it was a different time" but since these guys were likely born in the late 70s/early 80s, it kinda was. I have a kids book from 1981 that details how to capture wild herps and keep them as pets, and another one from 1954 that encourages catching bats. People just did whatever back then
Well, you’ll be pleased to learn that those are Bombina orientalis, not B. bombina. They’re definitely from the pet trade. The bright green skin is a giveaway. Compare:
But yeah, the policies regarding collecting wild animals has been… bizarre. Modern laws are better, but at least here in Denmark they’re still surprising lax on some fronts!
everyone tell me one good thing that happened to you this week. or something you're proud of! it can be something as small as seeing a cool bug or brushing your teeth twice a day ♡
Also, nothing, NOTHING that russia does can be called "retaliation", BECAUSE RUSSIA IS THE AGGRESSOR THAT STARTED THE WAR.
It's Ukraine's actions that, by definition, can be called a retaliation. Not the other way round.
Words have meanings. Stop bothsidesing one if the clearest wars ever.
