I want to make a sign for an immigrant rally that displays the same sentiment in different languages;

Dump Sensenbrenner / Support Kennedy

Please post a translation for me (nothing obscene or swearing) just something that means let's get rid of him!

1. Go to babel fish

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Translate English to a bunch of different languages.

I buy antiques off the internet from Europe and this is a GREAT tool.

Good luck!

9. True...

...but sometimes the translation is literal and the phrase makes no sense in the translated version....

2. If diverse language speakers don't see this

before it drops to another page, you may want to check in on the foreign language forum. Someone probably will see it, just thought I'd mention it, just in case. Good luck!

3. A BAS SENSENBRENNER, TOUS POUR KENNEDY

A BAS SENSENBRENNER, VIVE KENNEDY

KENNEDY OUI, SENSENBRENNER NON

[undeterred]

5. Merci beaucoup

Thats about all I remember from High School. :shrug:

[madame defarge]

6. Much better...

"KENNEDY OUI, SENSENBRENNER NON"

Everyone can understand that.

Bien fait.

[madame defarge]

4. French

Déchargez Sensebrenner
Soutenez Kennedy

(or close enough)

[tocqueville]

13. oops but "déchargez" with all due respect

would mean that Sensenbrenner is "without charge" = let him go free ("take off his charge - load")

better with "renvoyez" (fire)

but "soutenez Kennedy" is absolutely correct

[madame defarge]

18. Ah, oui, c'est vrai...

Je m'excuse. :blush:

[tocqueville]

23. pas besoin d'excuses...

my bloopers are probably worse... :)

[Waya]

7. German, maybe?

'Sensenbrenner raus / Unterstuetze Kennedy'

gets the message across.......

[da_chimperor]

16. Howsa 'bout . . .

'Sensenbrenner raus, Kennedy los!'

It's more slogany, IMO.

[Waya]

19. Works as well....

...yep!

Everybody here is from somewhere else! :hi:

I can't say anything from my grandparents native languages, sadly.

[Maestro]
