Got it.

Finally, how are demonyms made in German for foreign place names: with -er or -isch? Do they change based on the gender of the noun (like "railway") they're describing?

German demonyms mostly end in -isch - this applies to all European (except for German itself, ironically) countries as well as all countries in Asia and the Americas, in Oceania and most African nations. You may use blutreichisch, as "Austrian" would be österreichisch (however, although France is called Frankreich, the demonym is französisch. German demonyms are sometimes a science for itself).
And yes, they do have a declension - as "Eisenbahn" (railway) is feminine, it would be die blutreichische Eisenbahn. While it's always der/die/das [nation]-ische in the basic form, if an article is used, it varies in other cases.

I also notice that a mistake has sneaked into my last post - of course, it would be Krewowinsky Państwowy Kolej in Polish. Sorry!

Tusen takk!

Hi everyone, could I also get a German and French translation of the English translation if possible? Thanks!


edit: Also, how would you say 'Fyodorian Republic' in German and Russian? Fyodorian is basically a demonym version of the name 'Fyodor', the person I named the nation after.

[Allanea]

To be clear, it would depend on what the Russian translation of Fedorian would be.

Федориец [Fedorietz] would be probably most appropriate, in my view, and then a Fyodorian Republic would be [Федорийская Республика].

How might one translate “The Archonate of Sarcana” into Dutch?
I’ve also been thinking of creating a Dutch dialect, though unsure how.

What is the best Latin translation for "Government of Portugal"? Looking around the internet, I find some different Latin names for Portugal (Lusitania, Portugallia, Portucallia). Which one is preferred in Ecclesiastical Latin (the dialect used by the Catholic Church)?

And I assume all of these are feminine, so the possessive case is inflected by adding -e at the end? So something like Gubernatio Lusitaniae?

In Turkish: Taşkent Ağır Sanayileri

In Russian: Ташкентская Тяжёлая Промышленность (Tashkentskaya Tyazholaya Promyshlennost').

Latin transcript mine, following the pronunciation, it should be accurate enough.

Gubernatio Lusitaniae sounds good. So does Gubernatio Portugalliae - I'm not sure which one's preferred by the Catholic Church, but what I can tell is that Lusitania was the name the today Portuguese lands were given by the Romans, whereas Portugallia/Portucallia appears rather recently made up to me. Honestly, I've never even heard the latter, I'd have gone with Lusitania ... but my last Latin lesson in school dates back around a decade, I might have missed something. At least, it's definitely the -ae suffix (Gen. Sg. a-declension), that's for sure.

Would any native/fluent Swedish speakers be able to glance over my national anthem and point out any glaring grammatical errors? My grasp of the language is pretty basic, so there are probably a lot.

[Oswyn Islands]

What is the plural form of “Paradiesinsulaner”, or “Paradise Islander” by chance?

[Lillorainen]

What is the plural form of “Paradiesinsulaner”, or “Paradise Islander” by chance?

It's "Paradiesinsulaner" in both singular and plural (granted you use the nominative form).

I see. Thanks.

Ташкентская Тяжелая Промышленность

But a more likely phrase in Russian would be Ташкентское Тяжелое Машиностроение, (Tashkentskoe Tyazheloe Mashinostroenie literally Tashkent Heavy Machinery Construction), which might be abbreviated to TashTyazhMash.

Kragholms söner, obevekliga,
Era hjärtan, alltid präktiga,
Redo med ert gränslösa mod,
Aldrig besegrade.

Ta i hand ditt vassa vapen,
Krossa eder fienders vilja,
Lika som du krossar deras kropp,
För vårt rikes väl.

Trumpeter ska ljuda,
Tack vi skall bjuda,
Prisa Gud och prisa blodet,
från de som offrat av sig själva.
Kragholms söner, frihetens vakter,
Förlorar aldrig kampviljan.

Kragholms söner, stora hjältar,
Gud kämpar med er.

[Instrumental]

Ädelt blod av konung Arthur,
Strömmar genom våra ådror,
Kallar hans gastlansiärer,
I vår mörka tid.

Och hans ättlingar, goda ledare,
Styr oss nu fortfarande,
Utan syndigt inflytande,
Klokt och nådigt alltid.

Många skall vi döda,
Kanske skall vi blöda,
Men den första kungens ande,
Ger oss livets väsen,
Då fortsätter vi till striden,
Med rättfärdighet som guiden.

Kragolms söner, medborgare,
Himmelriket äro dit.

(depending on how old school you want your language to be you could use "ni" instead of "du" which is a bit more formal similar to the German "Sie", but it is also very archaic and has not been used since the 70ties but it is sort of making a comeback to the annoyance of the older generations)

Thanks mate, much appreciated. I never realised quite how many silly mistakes I'd made

[Storrike]

Hello,

I am currently in need of aid from a Swedish speaker. I am trying to create a Swedish-based empire, and I was wondering if one found gloss over my factbook and fix any translation problems I’ve done.
Also, could I have some assistance in creating a legislature name, along with houses? I’m thinking of using the adjective suffix “Kejsar-” or something of the sort, along with a translation of “assembly” or something.
This country is a semi-constitutional monarchy if that information helps.
