no idea. i thought onsen=the spring itself but... i think it is just a modifier of inn in this case.
like from what i understand the MARU hot spring feeds the 7 different inns. ie. all 7 inns utilize the MARU hot spring. the hot spring is known for the rich mineral content of the water and it can be enjoyed at any of the 7 inns that are situated along the river.
a tldr of the above is what i need.
i asked my super to confirm that the 7 inns "shared" the hot springs and went on to explain my IWAKAN with the sentence fragment that is the first sentence. she told me not to bother changing it...

Eurgh, if you've gotta go am/pm-less, I'd say 24-hour, since it's (probably) less confusing, I feel, than 12-hour without.

I thought 25:00 was a typo...

Admittedly, I do remember 24+ hour timestamps as being bizarre and incomprehensible when I first encountered them.

now that i live here i dont care which but literally every other instance of hours in this pamphlet is the 24 hour clock. this one i think was put into am pm for the obvious reasons... i guess i could leave it but the need to TOUITSU is strong... if it helps, all of the restaurants etc with hours are on one of two pages so that context might help? Ham both are 24 hour. i have to show 12 and 1 am in 24-clock... but which is easier to understand? 00:00 and 01:00 or 24:00 and 25:00? |

I personally prefer 00:00 and 01:00, but I get the impression that 24:00 and 25:00 are what I see more frequently on menus and such.

it is common in japan and what i am more familiar with but i ended up going with 00:00 and 01:00 because i figured that would be easier for noobs to the 24-hour clock to sort out

This is for one of the sign boards in my geopark. EIGO or no go?
You are currently standing in the elevated area, designated in red in the picture. If you look towards the background you will see the mountains on the other side of the hills. There are also the boulders beside the coastline, such as Oyako-iwa, and the cliffs in the shape of a Japanese folding screen.
The land features of Mt. Apoi Geopark are roughly divided by the Apoi mountain-mass that was created by the eastern continental plate and the gently sloping hilled area that was on the western ocean floor. In addition, boulders such as Cape Enrumu and the Byobu Cliff in Hirau act as highlights to the scenery. The evident difference in geology and time is hidden behind the diverse landscapes.

Looking at the picture that's attached, I think it may mean behind where you are currently standing, reading this sign board. Here is the Japanese for that sentence: あなたの背後に目を向けると丘陵の向こうに「山」が見えます。

yea, that sounds like "behind you" so... maybe try "If you look behind you, you will see the mountains...."

Is inbound tourism real English, or is it real English that's only used in Japan? (That being said, I'm translating meeting minutes, so all the participants live in Japan..)

I think it's WASEI YEIGO but I can't find a relevant English term for it.

Hmm, that's what I'm seeing too (well, British, not European), but the people I'm translating for are definitely American, so I was hoping.
Edit: Hm, I guess I should've googled "inbound tourist US" earlier, because they do appear to use it. It's just not very "everyday conversation-y".

Do you reckon that for 「井の中の蛙である自分に気づきます。」
"We come to realize that we are ignorant as a frog in a well." works?
or would something more classically Western be better, like
"...we are ignorant as Plato's men in the cave."

Post by Aya Raincoat on May 18, 2018 8:59:44 GMT 9
I have never heard the Plato saying, but yes, you must change it. Translating expressions as-is almost never works.
"We come to realize that we didn't know anything about the world."

It might be a bit too IYAKU to put "ignorant" in there when it's not in the Japanese.
Yes, that's what the Japanese is saying, but the Japanese is written as a metaphor instead of just stating it outright, so I think the English should be a metaphor too.
edit: actually idk. Is this a KOTOWAZA? I thought it was like a poem or from a story or something haha. If it's a KOTOWAZA then I think that changes things.

Which sounds better? I took some liberty with the second version.
1) Dark brown orthopyroxene, emerald green clinopyroxene, and black spinel, can be identified in the peridotite, as well as olive-colored olivine which is the main mineral.
2)The main mineral in peridotite, olivine, can be identified by its distinctive olive color. Dark brown orthopyroxene, emerald green clinopyroxene, and black spinel can also be seen in the rock.

My English is escaping me. I want to say something along the lines of
"Do not open except in the event of an emergency"
but is that how it's usually phrased in English?
EDIT: After some more Googling I've arrived at
"Open only in case of emergency"
Does that sound standard?

got permission to fix the translation that some mysterious Eternal Overlordistrator "corrected" for me. Is "antifever medication" a thing? For some reason antifever doesn't feel like a real word to me, but I'm not sure.

I usually see them refered to as "fever reducers"
