Seeking Translation! (basically any language)

    Hey!

    So I work in an organization that gives surveys to the students we work with as a way to gauge performance over time

    Unfortunately (and kind of weird, for a government organization that can serve very diverse groups), all we have is an english survey and a spanish survey with what I hear is kind of clunky grammar

    If anyone has more languages than just english, it'd be cool to get translations for the survey in whatever language you might be reasonably fluent in!

    Thanks!

    Survey:

    student name
    date of birth
    grade
    date
    pre / post
    site
    teacher name

    Students: Please rate how true each of the following statements is for you

    Turn over to complete

    a. not at all true
    b. not very true
    c. sort of true
    d. very true

    I try hard to do well in school

    I enjoy learning new things in class

    When we work on something in class, I feel discouraged.

    In class, I do just enough to get by

    Class is fun

    In class, I work as hard as I can

    When I'm in class, I feel bad

    When I'm in class, I listen very carefully

    When I'm in class, I feel worried

    When we work on something in class, I get involved

    When I'm in class, I think about other things

    When we work on something in class, I feel interested

    Class is not all that fun for me

    When I'm in class, I just act like I'm working

    When I'm in class, I feel good

    When I'm in class, my mind wanders

    When I'm in class, I participate in class discussions

    When we work on something in class, I feel bored

    I don't try very hard at school

    I pay attention in class

    there are other French speakers on here - I'd appreciate a read-over for any awkward/clunky turns of phrase, or anything that sounds overtly Franco-Manitoban/French Canadian ...

    this....is basic enough that i feel comfortable giving it a shot for mandarin? if anyone here is a native speaker they'd probably be far better off but im definitely competent enough to do most of this

    i just wanted to include all the words on the page so it wasn't like "oh well because you're uncomfortable with english you only get Some of the words translated"

    So I've worked on an Arabic translation of it. I'm not entirely sure of my grammar here and I might talk with my professor about it and bring back another draft of the thing. Here for now though.

    تستمع التعليم اشياء في الدرسات

    متى ندرس في فصل تشعر بالتثبيط

    في فصل تعمل التبخ فقط

    فصل مرح

    في فصل تعمل جيد صارما

    تشعر بالنادم في فصل

    تستميه الا الاستاذ بعناية في فصل

    تشعر بالقلق في فصل

    متى في فصل تفكر اشياء اخرة

    متى نعمل في فصل انت مشارك

    تشعر بالمهتم في فصل

    لا تستمع الفصل

    متى في فصل تتظاهو العمل

    في فصل تشعر بالسعاد

    متى في فصل تشارك في المحادثة

    متى نعمل تشعر بالضجر

    لا صارم في درساتك

    في فصل انت منتبة

    ooh, also, re: mandarin and arabic

    how is it formatted on a page? should it be right aligned? I am very much a white american, and know very little about Other Languages (TM)

    Thanks again! You guys are helping me get serious networking cred with my boss, haha

    Arabic is read from right to left, yes. It can also be something of an annoying bitch to format at times unless your computer and word processors are set up for it...

    Alright. If you're worried you can show me how it looks with like a screenshot or something. And I can tell you if it did something weird like disconnect all the letters.

    cleverThylacine cuddles for the weird and the fierce

    Looks good at first glance but it's 2:35 AM and I'm only awake because I wanted to repurple my hair before the OTT Tea Party (think: lolita prom) tomorrow and they decided to start it at 11 AM because they're masochistic. I figure if I wake up between 7 and 9 it will be dry enough to curl and more importantly not drip purple all over my ridiculously expensive dress? So I will look at it again :)

    Thank you so much! I hope you have fun at your Lolita prom! I haven't worn Lolita in so long DX

    Thanks!

    There's no dancing, but...I think of it as lolita prom because it's the social event of the year, everyone wears their craziest stuff and they take formal pictures of everyone, and it's not sponsored by a brand, so you can wear whatever you want. AP throws a grand bash every November and Baby will manage to have one every couple years, but if you're not a fan of the brand you get left out. (I am a huge AP fan. But I know not everyone is.)

    Ah, I'm on my phone right now but I can go over this later if you like. How professional does this need to look? Long form (-masu) reads as informal or childish in writing, it's the exact opposite as with spoken Japanese. You want short (-ru) form.
