So, I found a sight that would be interesting for those of us who might be traveling in the next few months. A free online translator site called WorldLingo
Basically, you just type or cut & paste what ever phrase, words, or documents you like translated into over 15 different languages.
I think it's a wonderful tool for many reasons, especially for those of us who have to carry medical documents regarding our diabetes arsenal.
I think Jeff is aware of this site. Since he told me "I rocked" in Portuguese on my last post, a big shout out goes out to godat! .
Here are aome "travel friendly phrases" that might help us out on global trips that Diabetesaliciousness readers plan to take!
FYI - I'm only printing those languages that we could attempt to speak due to recognizable alpha characters.
Key Phrase number 1: "I'm a type 1 diabetic"
French: Je suis un diabétique de type 1
German: Ich bin ein Typ 1 diabetiker - Er aah, kind a makes me want to say in a thick B-aston accent, "Ich bin ein Berliner "
Italian: Sono un diabetico di tipo 1
Portuguese: Eu sou um tipo 1 diabetic
Spanish: Soy un diabético del tipo 1
Dutch: Ik ben een type 1diabeticus - Ok, I'm dying to say "I'm Diabeticus!"
Swedish: Förmiddag I en diabetiker för typ 1 - OK - Ever watch the movie "Splash"? I'm thinking about the scene when John Candy's chactor, speaks Swedish to the gaurds. He impresses them with certain phrases regading "body measurements" he learned by watching Swedish "Art" films. That's all I'm saying!
Key Phrase Number 2: "I'm a diabetic, I need to get to a pharmacy or Dr. immediately!"
French: Je suis un diabétique, je dois arriver à une pharmacie ou à un Dr. immédiatement !
German: Ich bin ein Diabetiker, muß ich an eine Apotheke oder an einen Dr. gelangen sofort!
Italian: Sono un diabetico, devo ottenere ad una farmacia o ad un Dott. immediatamente!
Portuguese: Eu sou um diabetic, eu necessito começar a um pharmacy ou a um Dr. imediatamente!
Spanish: Soy un diabético, necesito conseguir a una farmacia o a un Dr. ¡inmediatamente!
Dutch: Ik ben een diabeticus, moet ik aan een apotheek of Dr. krijgen. onmiddellijk!
Swedish: Förmiddag I en diabetiker, behöver jag att få till ett apotek eller en Dr. omgående!
Key phrase number 3 : "Excuse me, do you know where the bathroom is?"
French: M'excusez-vous, savez-vous où la salle de bains est ?
German: Mich, entschuldigen Sie wissen, wo das Badezimmer ist?
Italian: Lo scusate, sapete dove la stanza da bagno è?
Portuguese: Desculpa-me, você sabe onde o banheiro está?
Spanish: ¿Me excusa, usted sabe donde está el cuarto de baño?
Dutch: Me, excuseert weet u waar de badkamers is?
Swedish: Mig, ursäktar du vet var badrummen är?
Key phrase (s) number 4 : Yes, I' m a diabetic, and yes, I know I don't "look" like I am.
Yes. I'm allowed to eat chocolate, now shut up and give me some!
Your Mom!!
French: Oui, je suis un diabétique, et oui, je sais que je « ne regarde pas » comme je suis.
Oui. Je suis permis de manger du chocolat, en ferme maintenant vers le haut et me donne !
Votre maman ! !
German: Ja bin ich ein Diabetiker, und ja, weiß ich, daß ich nicht wie I Am. „schaue“.
Ja. Mir werde erlaubt, Schokolade zu essen, jetzt oben schließe und gebe mir einiges!
Ihre Mamma!!
Italian: Sì, sono un diabetico e sì, so che “non osservo„ come I Am.

Portuguese: Sim, eu sou um diabetic, e sim, eu sei que eu “não olho” como eu sou.

Hi Kelly.
ReplyDeleteYet another great service to the D.O.C. you have provided!
I just hope I never have to do "carb math" in another language.
Jeff -
ReplyDeleteGlad u like - thanks for thanks for the inspiration. Looking back,
I probably should have gone w/ "Diabeticus" as the post title. But I wasn't sure how many people would actually get the "Spartacus" reference. Plus, the German phrase really reminded me of JFK's famous"Ich Bin Ein Berliner "speech/Simpson's reference and shout out to Mayor Quimbly play on words!
