République islamique du Grand Maghreb

Islamique is an adjective and shouldn't be capitalised, but otherwise GT is correct.

I have a question, how would you write 'Islamic Republic of Greater Maghreb' in French and Arabic? I have the Google Translated version in my sig, but I’m not sure if it’s correct or not.

I can't help you with French, but I can help you with Arabic: جمهورية المغرب أكبر الإسلامية (jumhūriyya ʾal-maḡrib l-ʾakbar l-ʾislāmiyya)

Thank you to both of you.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but could someone also please check if the Spanish google translated version of 'Islamic Republic of Greater Maghreb' in my sig is correct? Also, how would you write 'People's Republic of Greater Maghreb' in French, Arabic and Spanish?

As a native Norwegian speaker, I can help for NS stuff.

[Diarcesia]

My administrative divisions called Polities. What do you think about the change to the term "Diereses" (like the vowel mark that looks similar to an umlaut)? Its underlying Greek word means division.

VMK Defence and Steel Works: I changed to "VMK Verteidigung und Stahlwerke"

Royal Lindblum Company: I changed to "Königreich Lindblum GmbH"

Please do tell if any is translated wrong. Thanks!

The Spanish in your sig is correct.
Spanish: República Popular del Gran Magreb/ República Popular Gran Magrebeño.
French: République Populaire du Gran Maghreb/ République Populaire Gran Maghrébine.

Royal Lindblum Company: I changed to "Königreich Lindblum GmbH"

That says "Kingdom of Lindblum Limited Liability Company". Royal is königlich and I think company is Gesellschaft but not sure what gender it is.

It's feminine - "die königliche Gesellschaft" ^^

As Blodrike said, GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränker Haftung) translates as LLC - you may use "Königliche Lindblum-Gesellschaft" in this case. Yet, in German language, it is generally quite usual to include the form of organization in the company's name instead of just using the equivalent of "company" - if you would like to specify the form, this list of company types might be helpful.

Thanks. I will keep the "GmbH" and change the "Königreich" to "königlich"

Anybody good with Latin? I took some in school but didn't get very far. Just want to see if my motto is accurate. Trying to say "we stand in perpetuity."

Also, thanks to Allanea for setting this up.

Hello,

I am in request for some help with German, namely, with my country’s motto.

Kyneland’s motto is “Kyneland, Ancients Unbound.” This motto glorifies the country’s ancient history. The “ancients” refers to ancestors, predecessors, and other things which came before the present.
Kyneland’s German exonym is “Waldeland.”

Thank you for your time.

Literally translated, it would be: "Waldeland, die Alten ungebunden"
It's hard to make it sound nice in German, but this seems the best one to me ^^

My attempt would be: Waldeland, die Vorfahren entfesselt.

(I took the liberty to use a word somewhat more like unshackled)

That's even better ^^ you may also use "Ahnen" instead of "Vorfahren" - depends on what sounds better to you.

“Ahnen” means ancestors, yes?

Yes. "Ahnen" and "Vorfahren" are synonyms in principle.

Could someone translate "Main Tank Weapon - Railgun" into Russian, please?

[National Socialist Poland-Lithuania]

Could someone please translate into Polish and Lithuanian:
"We have raided the houses of communists all over the country, and confiscated their property!"

[Allanea]

Could someone translate "Main Tank Weapon - Railgun" into Russian, please?

By "Main tank weapon", do you mean "the main armament of a tank", or "the armament of your nation's main battle tank"? Does 'main refer to the tak or the weapon?

Главное вооружение танка - рельсотрон

and

Вооружение общего танка - рельсотрон

Respectively.

[New Aeyariss]

"We have raided the houses of communists all over the country, and confiscated their property!"

"Zajęliśmy domy komunistów w całym kraju i skonfiskowaliśmy ich majętek!"

The word "raid" is hard to translate into Polish. Closest thing is "napad" but it is usually connected to robbery. So I chose "zająć" (take over) instead.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

I suppose I can help this thread in Filipino, as I am very fluent in it, and it is my mother tongue.

While I'm at it, can anybody recommend any good Communist Chinese mottos. "Serve the People" and the like are given, but I'm looking for something unique; maybe even your own, if you'd like.

[National Socialist Poland-Lithuania]

No longer required.

Just as well, I'm more rated for Filipino to English translations than vice versa.

Speaking of which, how does "Mabuhay añg Sañgkatuhan!" sound like to you?

Hello, I would like to know if there is anyone on the forum proficient in the Uzbek language?
