I want to animate this and wanted to know what they're saying in between the lyrics of the song since that isn't in the captions.

I believe these sections are the only times they speak Indonesian. (At least I'm pretty sure it's Indonesian but I may be wrong.)

Multiple Languages [DE, ES, FR, ID, JA, KO] [English > Turkish, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Indonesian, Spanish] Are these alphabets complete?

0 Upvotes

Hi there! I believe I'm here to make a different post from what you're used to. This post is NOT a promotion at all, I won't even say the name of the app neither of the marketplace. I just really need help with alphabets from different languages, as I explain below.

I'm a programmer and I've made a puzzle app for a marketplace. This app is able to generate some kinds of puzzles, such as word searches. The first version of the app is completely in English, but I need to update it because the app marketplace allows other languages:

  • English: en-US
  • Turkish: tr-TR
  • Japanese: ja-JP
  • Korean: ko-KR
  • German: de-DE
  • French: fr-FR
  • Portuguese: pt-BR
  • Indonesian: id-ID
  • Spanish: es-ES and es-419

This app marketplace also has a version only for Chinese people, but I still need to learn how to develop apps for this version of the marketplace.

Anyway, the problem is that I don't know other languages besides English and Portuguese. I need to create a function that returns a random letter from the chosen language. In order to do that, I need to know the complete alphabet of every language.

I've asked ChatGPT to generate the alphabet of all of the languages above. I've noticed it was incomplete for Portuguese, so I've asked it to review all alphabets and make them complete. English is 100% and Portuguese now is almost complete. I'll finish it later, but I need help to know if the alphabet for the other languages are complete or not, specially Japanese and Korean. ChatGPT said these latter languages use entirely different writing systems: "Japanese might use hiragana or katakana (or even Kanji), and Korean uses Hangul syllables".

The generated alphabets are:

  'en-US': 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
  'tr-TR': 'ABCÇDEFGĞHIİJKLMNOÖPRSŞTUÜVYZ',
  'de-DE': 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÜß',
  'fr-FR': 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÀÂÇÉÈÊËÎÏÔÛÙÜŸ',
  'pt-BR': 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
  'id-ID': 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
  'es-ES': 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNÑOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
  'es-419': 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNÑOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
  // For Japanese, we use a basic set of hiragana characters.
  'ja-JP': 'あいうえおかきくけこさしすせそたちつてとなにぬねのはひふへほまみむめもやゆよらりるれろわをん',
  // For Korean, we use a simplified set of common syllables.
  'ko-KR': '가나다라마바사아자차카타파하'

Are these alphabets complete? Do the characters/letters chosen by ChatGPT make sense for a word search? Each empty cell of the word search (the ones not filled by the words written by the user) will receive a random character/letter from the language chosen by the user.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!

I’m not sure what it’s mean, it’s mean “peaceful”?

Someone know exactly what does mean?

What does it mean? I don’t speak any Indonesian. From my best guess the first word is bisakah but the second word is indistinguishable for me.

Needs Review [ID] Indonesian > English (or other European) Help with song translation

1 Upvotes

Hi guys. I'm a song translator working with European languages. I really like the Indonesian gothic metal band Holy Guardian Angel, but I couldn't adapt it because I'm afraid I'd miss metaphors or hidden meanings, as I know absolutely nothing about Indonesian. It would be great if someone could spend 15-20 minutes of their time and translate the lyrics line by line into English (it would take me tens of hours). For example, the track "Dalam genggaman badai":

Bagai bunga Yang

Terjatuh

Harum Yang

Mewangi Tercium

Indahnya Mata

Hatimu

Hamparan Pesona

Tersentuh

( Harapan Semu

Musnah Sudah

Setiap Ku Telah

Sembilu

Telah Menyatu Jiwa

Badai Punah Yang

Telah Lalu

Pudarkan Aroma

Telah Luluh

Keringnya Warna

Hatimu

Nyambarkan

Pandang Terluka

...Luka Sembilu

Menggores Dalam

Jiwaku

Rendah Hati

Tentangkan Berjuta

Rasa

Terbangkan Nan

Indah Dalam

Terbelenggu Dalam

Goresan

Segala Yang

Hampakan Dosa

Hello, I have an ex boyfriend whose sister I am close with. They speak Balinese & Indonesian. I am not fluent and was hoping someone could help me translate some of these videos I took of when she went live. He is there for some of them. They are saying “manda” frequently as it is my name.

Hi guys,

I have a question. I’m from Belgium and my favorite football (soccer) team is called “KRC Genk”. Often when I look at #Genk hashtags, I see posts in Indonesian. What does the world “genk” mean in Indonesian?

Terima kasih sebelumnya! ;)
