Salve volevo vostre opinioni sulle traduzioni che ho effettuato epr questo blog, dall'inglese all'italiano. Come potete vedere l'ambito è ricco di parole inglesi che vengono utilizzate anche nell'italiano.
Spesso accade anche che alcune parole nel source language si riferiscano ad un concetto specifico, rendendo la traduzione lessicale inadeguata. Ho optato quindi per la maggior parte dei casi per il non tradurre e mettere tra virgole (dove necessario). Mi riferisco nello specifico a questo articolo https://casinoguru-it.com/storia-video-poker termini come "draw", "skill draw", "screen", "jacks or better", etc. Secondo voi ho fatto una scelta appropriata nel lasciarlo invariato oppure avrei dovuto tradurre?
Grazie

Buon giorno, non capisco una frase che appare in un testo farmaceutico:
Ich verstehe diesen Satz nicht:

Con il termine "gastrite" si intende un processo infiammatorio della mucosa gastrica, che determina alterazioni vasali che PORTANO A RICHIAMARE cellule infiammatorie a livello gastrico.
=
"The term "gastritis" is understood to refer to an inflammatory process of the gastric mucous membrane, leading to vasal changes which TEND TO RECALL inflammatory cells on a gastric level.

For the life of me I can't understand the last part, with PORTANO A RICHIAMARE. What could that mean?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

The book takes place in early 18th century Sicily.  I came across the word "pavigliotti". I cannot find a definition anywhere.  Here is the paragraph where it appears:

"E faremo arricciare i nostri capelli!...Andrò a letto coi pavigliotti. Piuttosto ho bisogno di camicie e di cravatte di pizzo..."

I came across this title in Luigi Natoli's "I Beati Paoli" - it was published in 1908.  I can't find a translation anywhere.

Gentiluomini di bocca e di camera.

Answer:

by Squirrel-quattro (UN), 2019-04-14, 11:52   Spam?  

gentiluomini di bocca = gentlemen who serve meals (but I can't find how they are named in English)
(http://www.gruppostoricovenaria.ideasolidale.org/index.asp?IDCAT=43)

gentiluomini di camera = Lords of the Bedchamber / Gentlemen of the Bedchamber
https://context.reverso.net/translation/italian-english/gentiluomo+...
https://www.heraldica.org/topics/france/MaisonDuRoi.htm: "The office of Gentilhomme de la Chambre (gentleman of the bedchamber) was created after the abolition of that of chambrier.   There was initially one, increased to two and three by Henri IV, and finally to four by Louis XIII, each serving for a full year.  He  performs the duties of the grand-chambellan in his absence.   He receives the oaths of the officers of the bedchamber, is in charge of funeral ceremonies, oversees the king's entertainments and supervises the two main theater companies in Paris (Comédie française and Comédie italienne)."

Hello, everyone!

I need a little advice about an article that I translated for a website; it's about the online casino. At the very beginning, in the paragraph "La nascita delle apparecchiature da video poker", I did not translate the word "Skill Draw" as it is a proper name used for the first machines. For this reason, I considered more appropriate to keep it unchanged instead of trying to Italianise, even following the advice of this guide http://tp.linux.it/buona_traduzione.html

Instead, this is the article I'm talking about:  https://www.toponlinebestcasinos.com/

Do you think I did well or would it have been the case to translate it?

Hi,

I'm intending getting a seat badge made for a Lambretta based on the logo for the Milan-Taranto challenge.

The original logo is: il modo piu bello di girare l'Italia in moto

I'd like to change this to: The most beautiful way of getting around... Lambretta

Google's literal translation is: Il modo piu bello per andare in giro... Lambretta

However, 'getting around' might not be correct in Italian.

Grazie mille for anyone's assistance.

(The omission of an accented 'u' is down to my laziness in searching for the correct ASCII code - Mi dispiace.)

Hello!
So I recently came across a picture that said "Veni. Vidi. Amavi.", and the caption said that when translated from latin, it meant "I came, I saw, I loved."

I was wondering if there was a way to translate "I lived. I loved." into Italian, in single words like that. I can't seem to figure out how to properly translate it. I was interested in making this into a tattoo, but I want to be 100% sure that I have the correct translation :)

Answer:

by Squirrel-quattro (UN), 2018-06-16, 19:46   Spam?  

If "Veni. Vidi. Amavi." is Latin, not Italian.
In Italian, "I lived. I loved." would maybe (!) be "Vissi. Amai." ("I came, I saw, I won." is "Venni, vidi, vinsi": Wikipedia(IT): Veni,_vidi,_vici).
In Latin, it could maybe (!!) be "Vixi. Amavi.", but there is an Latin-English-forum, too: https://enla.forum.dict.cc/

Please note, that I am neither a native speaker of Italian nor of English, and that I'm not able to speak Latin.

Hi, need help in understanding this sentence

non t'ama chi amore ti dice, ma t'ama chi guarda e tace

Answer:

by Squirrel-quattro (UN), 2018-05-13, 22:57   Spam?  

[The one] Who tells/says to you love, does not love you; but [the one] who looks and says nothing, loves you.
(Literally: Does not love you who love says to you, but loves you who looks and says nothing. )

Maybe the sentence You are not loved by the one who says to you that he/she is loving you, but you are loved by the one who looks at you and says nothing. is more understandable, but it is a more loose translation.

But please not that I am neither a native speaker of Italian nor of English.

Sul versante dei lavoratori, il CdG veniva ad affiancarsi alle Commissioni interne – ripristinate alla caduta del fascismo – istituendo un inedito sdoppiamento di funzioni, fra contrattazione da un lato e collaborazione tecnica dall’altro. Coi lavoratori più interessati ai primi, in anni in cui le aziende procedevano a smobilitare l’impegno bellico, con licenziamenti di massa.

On the workers’ side the management board found itself alongside the internal committees – restored after the fall of fascism – thereby giving rise to an unprecedented splitting of functions, between bargaining on one hand, and technical cooperation on the other. [draft translation only]

But how does the second sentence follow on from this one? What does "coi" really mean here? Does the second sentence mean something like. "Workers were more interested in the former in years in which companies tried to stymie [workers'] militancy by means of mass redundancies" ?

When you are saying a song is from a larger work in Italian, is it 'da' or 'dal'? For example, Voi che sapete, da Il nozze di Figaro -or- Voi che sapete, dal Il nozze di Figaro ? Or is it supposed to be something completely different? I've seen it both ways and want to make sure I've been saying the right way, thank you!

This may sound silly but I just got a new sports car that is very fast.  I wanted to get a personized license plate that was clever.  I wanted VELOCE but it is already taken.  I am looking for a word for "goodbye" but not like Ciao (as in a friendly goodbye) but instead a smart aleck sort of goodbye.  One that boasts about how fast the car is like a  "See ya!" Kind of goodbye as it pulls away from you.  Would ADDIO be appropriate here?

Thanks so much for your help!
