Well, this was accepted because I had a suggestion from GhiRic who told me this (the actual version) would rather be matching the meaning than the literal translation does (in which you can see the word "acteur" )

I still can edit the French version with the literal translation instead, the experts into every other languages will do the same and the problem will be fixed, what is your opinion Laura

What do you mean by "the actual version", Franck?

I still don't understand where this version came from, and yes, I think we should make the changes.

Which one was the original language, and did it mention actors or bad company?

The original is the Bulgarian version, and it mentions actors, not bad company (well, at least according to "google translate"

*Where it comes from : have a look to the link I posted, you will see what was said in the discussion area.

User10, can you change this translation to match the new (orginal) version?

Είναι προτιμότερο να είσαι μόνος από το να είσαι με υποκριτές.

Με ηθοποιούς, άρα με υποκριτές μήπως είναι πιο σωστό;

In Turkish, it literally means, "It's better to be alone than with bad company." There's nothing there about what kind of bad company they are - actors, hypocrites, etc.

Hello sorry to pop in.

If the Turkish version is right and the word "actors" is not there, the French version is:

Il vaut mieux être seul(e) que mal accompagné(e).



and Franck knows that, of course.

It's often used in French concerning
people living alone and would like to find their "alter ego" but if they can't they prefer
to stay on their own.

Hope I have made myself clear enough, if not,
no doubt Franck will explain it better.

I wouldn't explain it better than you did here, Lene!

I don't know which is the original version here. If it's the Turkish, we should change the rest, but based on my comment above, I guess it wasn't.

I see now that the Bulgarian was the original version, and from your comments above, Franck, it did not mention "bad company", so it's the Turkish that needs to be changed.

in Greek we would prefer shorter yet stronger sentences. That's why I'd rather consider the following much better: Καλύτερα μόνος, παρά με υποκριτές.

Oh yes - that's a much more elegant solution, but this translation is now three years old (started in 2014), so I don't know if anything will be done about it.

Great - is User10 still on the site? If so, maybe we should get her input, as it's her translation.

Hi! I sent her a private message with a link to this page, after I edited her version to place this one above.

Thanks for this notification, Lene!
