| For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I've been translating an ice cream maker instruction manual from Japanese into English. For the most part it's gone okay, but there are a few bits that I don't quite get. If someone wouldn't mind taking a look and seeing if they could explain it, I'd appreciate it.

Firs post to this community! Hope you guys can help!
Okay, I'm getting a tattoo on my birthday in a few weeks. And I've been planning on getting cherry blossoms on my ankle, but suddenly changed my mind yesterday and decided I want something on my shoulder blade. I was thinking a haiku or a quote and I found a site that looks pretty good, but I wanted to check with some other people. (I'll go find a dictionary sometime, too, lol)
The quote is: "Fortune comes to those who smile."
freetranslation gives this - 運が、ほほえむ人に達します - I understand that that's an approximate translation and not exact, since I used to use that site for help with Spanish.
Here's what the website has: http://www.stockkanji.com/product_info.php?cPath=16450_22370&products_id=70261 (Sorry, I can't just get the kanji image for you.)
Since I'm no good with Japanese verb tenses and I'm absolutely horrid with kanji, I'm not sure if freetranslation just has verb tenses wrong or something, because the quotes seem dissimilar to me. Or maybe I'm looking at them wrong.
Help, plz? | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Hey everyone!
I've just finished my first translation in a while, and was wondering if anyone would mind looking it over for me. I also have a couple of questions - there were some lines that puzzled me.

| Hello. I am currently working on translating an interview of a band for the English-speaking fandom. The thing is, my Japanese is not particularly good, and I can't decipher a couple of the questions. There were 115 items total, and I managed over 100, but a few are giving me grief. I was hoping someone could help. It was kind of a 20-questions type interview, where each member of the band was asked a question with a reasonably sort answer, usually no more than a sentence. The fandom for this band is quite nice, but the stuff available in English is often very limited, so I want to be able to complete this one. Help would be hugely appreciated.

These words don't appear in any dictionary of mine. All and any help would be very much appreciated.
