ترجمه - Encantado (اسپانیولی)

nice to meet you

when exactly is this translation going to be modified? because I'm SURE that the translation of "douzo yoroshiku" is "se bueno conmigo".

only people who know japanese should be giving their opinion here... because you have to know japanese to understand that they have different ways of greeting each other for the first time (and not all can be translated as "nice to meet you" because sometimes they say all of them at the same time... and you can't just repeat "nice to meet you", can you? they don't even mean the same thing)

Incantat

nice to meet you

Encantando es cuando tu conoces alguien...es como mucho placer en conocerte! o Nice to meet you en english...

s'il vous plait soyez bon

I dont speak japanese but the spanish translation has nothing in common with the english translation.Encantado means Enchanted or Charmed.

pirulito,

Parece que esta traducción está para ser rechazada. Lo siento muchíssimo, Cisa...

Hi Goncin

I still leave it Encantado. Douzo yoroshiku is quite a multifunctional phrase. You can use in many different contexts, in tis case I thought about meeting with someone for the first time, then you say hajimemashite- introduction- and then comes a mutual douzo yoroshiku. And of course, please be good to me is very well translated, but you won´t say Please be good to me in Spanish if you meet somebody. Maybe mucho gusto is better then, but I stick to my opinion!

PS: If you can´t decide yourself, then let the poll decide and nobody´s harmed then, because the decision is democratic enough!

I think that "encantado" only means "nice to meet you"

Hi Goncin,
I think the biggest trouble is that people who speak English and Spanish, but Japanese not, vote. They only see ´Please be good to me´ and of course they think Encantado is wrong!!

encantado IS wrong. you have to *translate*, not to *adapt* to your language. the translation is "se bueno conmigo".

Could you tell us what this Japanese text means and in which context it is used? Thank you.

Hi guilon!
The problem here is that there are two ways of approaching this translation:
- one would be the literal translation, which is:
Please be nice to me.
The problem is, no native speaker would ever say that upon meeting another for the first time. We usually say
How do you do? Nice to meet you.
or some such phrase. Japanese people say
Hajimemashite. Dôzo yoroshiku.
in the same situation, but the literal translation of this would be
It's the first time. Please be kind to me.
!
- So the other way of translating it would not be au pied de la lettre but situational, i.e. what would a native speaker of English say in exactly the same case when meeting someone for the first time? And in this case, Cisa is right, it would be some version of
Nice to meet you
or
I look forward to getting to know you better
or
I look forward to doing business with you
or
...

When our two languages are so radically different, I usually prefer the situational "mapping" of the English phrase onto the Japanese one myself, when I work as a professional interpreter here in Japan.

I suggest putting the "situational" translation in the main Translation field, and the literal translation in the Remarks field. (That's what I've been doing up till now with my translations from Japanese and Chinese.)

Thank you very much, Ian. As I suspected, Cisa's translation was perfect. This translation has been a real pain in the rear, it is about time to accept it, please go ahead, Pirulito.

Miyabi,
I hate word-to-word translations! If you stick to this, then you´ll get very weird translations sometimes. If you have a little experience in translation, then you know what I mean. Idiomatic expressions, non-existing structures in your language etc.

have a nice day, Cisa

Thanks for accepting, guys!

Thanks for your cooperation, Ian!

My apologies, Cisa!

You were right all the time; just I sometimes hate polemics, and this maked me nuts...

My pleasure, Cisa!
Keep up the good work in your studies of this CRAZY language!

"Encantado" should be translated as "Charmed," "Pleased to meet you," or (very literally) "Enchanted" in English. The note below it--"Literally means Que seas bueno conmigo" should be translated as "That's really good for me," "That would be great," etc.
