oh wait, idk if you're going for YASASII english or not, but I think it's more common to call the stuff inside the "enclosed documents" i was actually thinking my current EIGO isnt YASASII enough l.ol |

these are sentences from a couple of short artist statements of sculptures made of rice straw are these EIGO or NG?
We were inspired by the gold color of the rice straw to recreate Ho-oh, which often is seen on mikoshi (religious palanquin).
As this year's event is being held during the pandemic, we were inspired to recreate "Amabie," a supernatural creature which is said to answer prayers for protection from disease.

I think they're good. Do they not want to explain ho-oh like amabie? |

I think they're good. Do they not want to explain ho-oh like amabie? Ho-oh's explanation is in the next sentence! It is said that Ho-oh brings peace and tranquility to humankind, so into this project we put our hopes that the day will come when the people of the world can live worry-free.
we started to feel IWAKAN for the "inspire"+"recreate" combo even tho we came up with it. if it sounds good to you, then we will probably go with it then!

AH i figured out the problem. "recreate" can be both 再現 and 作り直す and i only want the former not the latter
that is why i felt IWAKAN. are there any work arounds?

I think recreate is better. Especially with Amabie, since people might not know her and create makes it sound like they invented her

+1 for People who are pregnant or who have given birth in the last 12 months
(within the last year could be misconstrued as calendar year? i.e. people who have given birth within 2021 and within the last 365 days)

This was not a translation, but someone who's 1st language is not English. I had to read it like 5 times before I could break it down and understand what this was trying to say and felt like I should bless you all with this mess of a sentence.
After the decision of the Executive Board, which was taken after consultation with the Organizing Committee of the 9th International Conference, regarding the realization of the aforementioned conference digitally in December 2021, the Executive Board at its 102nd meeting which was held on September 16th, decided unanimously that the Elections will take place at the 3rd Ordinary General Assembly which will be held digitally during the conference.

Hello, my sentence is too confusing...any suggestions to make it better? This is a letter to be sent who were identified as close contacts.
Your last contact is the day when a COVID-19 positive patient is admitted to the accommodation facility for COVID-19 patients.
However, if someone living with you tested positive after your close contact stated in this letter, and you ensured to self-isolate and disinfect - your last contact date is the day when he/she was tested positive.

Yo. I would clarify it slightly because we aren't talking about physical touch here, but rather about a period of time. I also detest too many sentence breaks via commas and the little dash thing.

Anyone disagree? |

Anyone disagree? Thank you so much! Yes, it is much clearer. I know the dash thing irks me too. By the way I'm looking at the 'the day if someone' part and I'm not sure if that makes grammatical sense in English. Maybe....
...is the date when someone living with you tested positive after your period of close contact stated in this letter if they did and you ensured proper self-isolation and disinfection...
would be better. I think you had 'when' written in the original too, but tbh I can't check right this minute.
*I'm not sure who is a native English speaker on these forums, but I do know that you can also interchange he/she for they as a gender neutral term and it might save space.

Thanks again for your feedback! How about this?
Your last period of contact is the day when a COVID-19 positive person is admitted to the accommodation facility for COVID-19 patients. However, your last period of contact will change if someone you live with tests positive during this period and you ensured to self-isolate and disinfect. The new last period of contact is the day when they tested positive.

EIGO OR NO GO? (context: a letter to the newly appointed sister city committee chair in our sister city) Due to the spread of COVID-19, it has been and continues to be difficult to travel between countries. However, we sincerely hope to deepen our relationship through feasible means including but not limited to online exchanges. i dont know why i hate this word but i need to know if you hate it too. tell me what you think before you know the word. that word is feasible |
