Actually, "電源" means "power" in the sense of electricity only.

Ah thanks, I just noticed the "電" which comes in words relating to electricity such as television, computer etc.

It means "electricity", and become kind of a prefix for all electric compliance for translation, especially for Traditional Chinese.

"The fruits of labour are for he who works", our national motto.
Also: "Socialist Federal Republic of Kinitaria", please. Both in Chinese.

(The word "Kinitaria" should just be transliterated, unless there's a proper way to make nation names in Chinese...?)

"The fruits of labour are for he who works"
Traditional Chinese: 勞動果實屬於勞動者
Simplified Chinese: 劳动果实属於劳动者
Mandarin: Láodòng guǒshí shǔyú láodòng zhě

"Socialist Federal Republic of Kinitaria"
Traditional Chinese: 吉涅泰尼亞社會主義聯邦共和國
Simplified Chinese: 吉涅泰尼亚社会主义联邦共和国
Mandarin: Jíniètàiníyǎ shèhuì zhǔyì liánbāng gònghéguó

In Chinese, country names are usually transliterated, although in rare cases real translations are also used.

And Japanese?

Also, can you guys tell what 麗 means? And also what Yalundeng means?

Japanese: アランダウン麗しき民国 (Arandaun Uruwashiki Minkoku)
麗 means "beauty/beautiful", although it is usually used in combination of 美 for that.
Yalundeng is a transliteration, so it itself doesn't mean anything.

Can you translate this into Chinese?
"You may not think about politics, but politics thinks about you."

"You may not think about politics, but politics thinks about you."

Traditional Chinese: 你雖不想政治，政治卻會想你。

A rough translation.

Hello. Please translate this phrase for me in Chinese and Japanese.
"Every man is an architect of his own happiness."

Don't gravedig.

Anyway, a possible translation could be:

諸創自福。
(Everyone creates their own happiness)

Someone please correct if I'm totally wrong - I am too well versed in poetic Chiense. A more word for word direct translation (which sounds weird in Chinese) would be:

每個人都是自己幸福的建築師。

Thank you! My parents sending me to nine years of Sunday Chinese school was not a waste afterall.

Can you put the following into Japanese, please?

Our motto:
For King and for City

Our Country's Honour
Our great republic, Thessaca; our home, our mother, our benefice and our paradise; we do honour thee with all our mind and soul and shall be yours until the sea swallows us up as one.

Thessaca means "Land of the Sea."

I realize this is kind of a dead post, but you've brought on the wrath of the Japanese.
In an earlier translation of "Happy Birthday George," you forgot the long vowel. 誕生日おめでとう
Republic in Japanese is the same as in Chinese, 共和国 (kyouwakoku, forgive me for being unable to type long marks).
And for beautiful, it's more common to use　美しい.
Which makes it 美しきアランダウン共和国. But as a heads up it's incredibly awkward to use a Japanese reading in something as official as a nation's name.

I haven't translated Arumdaum's name anyway, are you his puppet?
