I've never heard anyone say power harrassment in English.
Is Pref. Rte. 70 a valid abbreviation for "Prefectural Route 70"? I can't tell if rte. is weird to me because it's fake or because I don't drive.

Has anyone heard either of these phrases?
1) Before Party
2) Preparty
I am just looking for the opposite of "After Party"

When you translate the name of a bridge, do you usually leave the "bashi" part in? I've seen both online.
The "kawa" in river names normally gets left in (as in Chikumagawa River) but I feel like this isn't true for all proper names. In particular, I've seen "Nihonbashi" translated as Nihonbashi Bridge AND as "Japan Bridge", and I don't know any other famous bridges to check with hue.

or at least thats what ive been taught
the river near me is Maruyama River (maruyamagawa) and if we were to keep the kawa in it'd be way too long. Same goes for the bridge, so its just Maruyama River Bridge

Togetsukyo Bridge (Kyoto) Kintai Bridge (Yamaguchi) Seto Ohashi (bridge that connects Okayama and DEAD COCK) is translated as the Great Seto Bridge |

Just got a translation to do which says 水路転落に注意 and I want to just put 'don't fall in the gutter' but that sounds stupid XD
"Don't fall in the waterway"
"Please mind the gap" (hue)
"Please be careful of the open waterway/gutter" (some of the panels that would normally cover it, like on the side of roads where it's kinda used as a pavement(=sidewalk), are missing)
To be fair, it has 立ち入り禁止 above it so I'm wondering about just
"No Trespassing
Uncovered Gutter"

No Trespassing Watch out for uncovered waterway
would be fine, i think

It's not bad imho but if possible putting the "per category" in parenthesis could help?
It's just kinda an info-heavy sentance
Up to five works (per category) per person can be entered
or (if you can really edit it) something like
Each person can enter up to five works per category?

Miscreative I mean, I think it's あり, but I personally prefer a slight rearrangement: "Up to five works may be entered per person, per category" (in each category?)

we were worried about "five works" (instead of "five pieces of work") but seeing as that sounds fine we will go with that and incorporate your suggestions~ tyty

What is grabage thrown away by humans called?
I wanted to go with "human waste"..... but that isnt right
Human trash maybe? Oh wait,, that sounds like an insult
This is what I have: Over half of the objects that wash up on Kotobikihama are articles of trash that include large objects like boats, refrigerators and washing machines. |

"Up to five works per person, per category can be entered" EIGO or NO GO? Is it just me? I feel like there's not usually a comma there... |

I feel like there's not usually a comma there... tbh i originally didnt have it there but i added it when i typed it up here that said, i went with something similar to 🍅™️'s "Each person can enter up to five works per category" |

We were blessed with good weather, under which roughly 60 Filipinos, Chinamen, Vietnamese, Americans and New Zealanders lent a hand.
Chinaman is a propper way to say "someone from China", no?

i like "people" so what do you think about these?
We were blessed with good weather under which roughly 60 people from the Philippines, China, Vietnam, the US, and New Zealand lent a hand.
OR
We were blessed with good weather under which we received the helping hands of roughly 60 people from the Philippines, China, Vietnam, the US, and New Zealand.

The first one is perfect! Being half Filipino made me write "Filipinos" and I just had to wing it from there. "People from the Philippines" just doesn't come out right away xD

Unless you're doing some creative writing and you think a character would say it. Even then, I'd say reconsiderrrrrrr hue
