Spanish translation

Could they have hired 1 Arabic speaker? Aren't there any professional translators that'll work for em? It's like a 10 minute job. All those people who were translators for the military in countries across the ME and Afghanistan and yet they can't find one.

pathetic

Given how hard the Americans fought against allowing any people from Iraq and Afghanistan to seek refuge in America, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of Arabic speakers who want to work with the Democrats is a rapidly dwindling number.

Afghanistan doesn't speak Arabic

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I am well aware of that fact that Afghanistan doesn't speak Arabic. However the invasion and occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan required the recruitment of a lot of locals who were able to translate for the occupational authorities. Said translators then had their applications for asylum denied in most of the West, despite being a pretty important cog in the imperial machine, because the west chose to prioritize domestic political concerns over the welfare of the people who had risked their lives to help them. Sorry if my last sentence seems too lib, but the way these people were so easily discarded was an important part of my radicalization and leftward movement.

haha get owned traitor

From what I've heard from Arabic speakers working for the democrats is (big shock) they are really racist and ignorant towards them and tend to drive them out.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lol I hope this is real. Tte Arabic text is machine translated and is written from left to right. It asks to vote OR volunteer.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago

They need to get a refund on whatever machine they're using. Google translate is better than whatever they used

Google translates that as "We were sleeping, and we were not sleeping", as well as saying she's Alexandria Occasion Cortel from the Losing Sector.

I can't read arabic, but that looks wrong somehow. Aren't the letters supposed to be joined together? I remember learning the sounds at one point. It kinda looks like the thai script actually.

Also
pussy lol

edit: Wait is the script going the wrong way??? Lol wtf

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ye letters are supposed to be joined going right to left. Certain letter combinations will change the way the letters are written, too. It's like if they wrote "Vote for AOC!" like this:

c O A r O f E T o v !

for anyone not familiar with arabic this is how it should look like, but with a different font because I have a headache and I ain't searching for the one piece today

Also note that the arabic is ass, it's the equivalent to "You're winner!"

Why the fuck is the script written from left to right like English? That's now how it works.
