    I’m just curious what everything on the page says. I believe Spencer is a name translation, so you can skip that one. Thanks

    [English>Japanese] Apology letter to neighbor after dropping our plant to their balcony

    Please help me translate my apology letter to my neighbor.

    I'm not really sure how to best approach them 😓 I decided to just write a letter but I only know a few phrases and basic grammar rules. I tried translating on my own using google translate but I'm not really confident with the result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!


    Hello,

    We are the residents from room N

    I'm sorry for sending a letter instead of talking with you directly. It is much easier for us to write a letter because of our poor Japanese. Please also forgive us for any mistake in translation.

    Last night the strong wind blew our house plant (pink pot) and dropped it onto your balcony. We are very sorry for this to happen.

    Please accept our sincerest apologies.

    We would like to clean up whatever mess it may have caused for any time that is convenient for you.

    We are very sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused you.

    We promise to be more careful next time.

    Best Regards,

    Room N

    Please forgive me if this is the incorrect orientation. Translate please. I have several pieces I need translated. Is anyone interested in doing several at once? I can compensate.

    [German>English] Help Translating back of Photo

    Hello,

    I recently received a bunch of family history items from my husband's grandfather in order to help him digitize it all. One of the items is a picture of a man and woman in what I think is late 1800's attire. My husband's grandfather believes this is German on the back but he's unsure of what it says. Would anyone have any idea?

    Back of Photo with Possibly German printed words.

    Korea>english, dungeon meshi fanart manga by @janbanclear

    My first request and post in r/translator If this is included in types of posts that are not allowed no.2: Unreasonably long or non-volunteer (paid job offer) requests. [#R2 How much can i pay for the translation?

    For context: the man's name is laios, the girl's name is marcille, the woman is marcille's mom (no name). Everytime i translate it with Google picture to translate, there is always the "jang myeong-jong", i got frustated by this because it is unrelated to the manga, this fanart is based from a japanese manga but the artist is korean

    [Dutch > English] Amazing vegan carrot cake recipe with a handwritten note

    I was in Amsterdam recently, and while I was there I visited Koffie ende Koeck, which served the best carrot cake I've ever had in my life (whether vegan or not!). They sell their recipes in books, but they kindly allowed me to photograph the relevant page. I think I've managed to translate the bulk of it using a combination of Google translate, searching the internet for context, and some common sense. However there is a handwritten note in the corner which seems like it might be important. I've got as far as "50g sinaas" meaning "50g orange", but I can't figure out what the last word is. It looks like some kind of short hand to me, with a forward slash after the first letter perhaps? Would hugely appreciate any help! (I'll put the translated recipe I have so far in the comments below).
