Target language: Engleski

My love I don't know what's wrong with the phone. I love you like crazy my darling. And don't worry. You, love, are my whole world.
Remarks about the translation
vita, anima are words that lovers may say between them (also a mum towards her kid)

Literally:
My life I don't know what's wrong with the phone. I love you crazily my soul. And don't worry. You, life, are my world.

Hmmm...I guess we will have to change it to:

My love I don't know what's up with the phone. I love you like crazy my darling. And don't worry. You, love, are my whole world.

And then we can mention in the Remarks under the translation that "love" is literally "life" and "darling" is literally "soul."
The problem is it just feels too unnatural to use the literal translations from the Italian in English...

Also,
what's up with the phone
means
what's wrong with the phone
i.e. what the matter is with the phone?
Or is there another meaning to it?
Hmmm...

Some want the literal translations some others don't.

Hmmm...Yeah, it's always a judgement call...
But I guess you'd usually be pretty safe if you put as-close-to-the-original-as-possible natural target language in the Translation box, and then put the literal meaning of the text in the Remarks box...?

Anyway, I'll edit the text and put it to a vote! Thanks!

Original form of translation before editing:
My life I don't know what's up with the phone. I love you like crazy my soul. And don't worry. You, life, you are my whole world

Without "whole" because there isn't an equivalent written in the original.

Just one thing I would translate "pazzamente" as "crazily"

Yup, these would be more literal, but strange in English, so I guess I'll add the
pazzamente
in the notes, and then validate it...
