Translation (翻译) [Consider /r/Translator] Translation check - short phrase

Upvotes

I'm currently putting together a teaching resource for primary school pupils about different scripts/orthographies around the world. The task has 18 translations of 'languages are amazing/incredible' in various languages which have differing scripts. I've checked the translations with multiple online translation tools, but I'm well aware that these sometimes do not catch the nuanced points that native speakers can, hence why I wanted to post here for advice.

Would this be a suitable translation for Chinese (simplified), or is there a better alternative?

语言很奇妙

Thank you in advance for any help you lovely r/Chinese Redditors can offer!

Literature (文学) The Four Beauties of Ancient China and Meng Jiangnu

1 Upvotes

I am looking for books translated into Spanish about the Four Great Beauties of Ancient China: Xi Shi, Diaochan, Wang Zhaojun, and Yang Guifei. I am gradually getting into Chinese literature, and one of the most interesting topics is these four great women; besides possessing exceptional beauty, they either made sacrifices for the empire or were highly intelligent. I understand that Diaochan is the only fictional one—appearing in *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*—and that Yang Guifei appears in *Lion Court: A Novel of the Tang Dynasty*, but what about the others? Are there specific books dedicated to them? I would like to read as much as possible about any of them, whether individually or collectively, but I need something in Spanish! I would also like something about Meng Jiangnu, the woman who wept before the Great Wall. The stories of all these women fascinate me and are incredibly interesting; I really want to read more about them! I’m not sure if I posted this in the right place, but I hope someone can help me (translate this with Google; I don't speak english)

Translation (翻译) [Consider /r/Translator] Is this legible? Just trying to do something nice for my neighbor.

My neighbor is about 65 years old and just can't mow her lawn. The other day she asked me to mow her lawn and kept trying to give me $50 to do it. She literally would not let me refuse.

I've been mowing her lawn for about a month now and I slipped the $50 back into an envelope and wrote this using Google Translate (I know... I know...). I am just curious if to a native Chinese speaker this is legible enough for her to understand lol.

Literature (文学) A Book for my Grandma?

3 Upvotes

Hello friends,

I am an ABC, I can speak some chinese but cannot read at all. My grandma is getting old and spends her whole day in one chair, just doing nothing or reading the newspaper over and over again. I feel really bad! She doesn’t use a phone or watch TV or anything. I want her to be more entertained or stimulated, so does anyone have a book recommendation for my grandma? If it matters we live in the US. I think she wouldn’t want something classical or fussy. Just something entertaining, like a drama or comedy or romance.

Let me know if you have recommendations and where I can get it, like on Amazon or something? Thanks :)

Film (影视) I built a free Chrome extension that shows vocabulary while you watch anime/shows — thought this sub might find it useful

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone — long-time lurker, wanted to share something I made for my own studying that turned into a real tool.

The problem: I wanted to build vocab passively while watching subtitled content, but every existing tool needs you to pause and click on words manually. I just wanted words to show up on their own while I watched, so I built CaptionCatch.

What it does: while you're watching with captions on, a small card pops up with a word from the dialogue — the reading and the meaning — timed to what's actually being said. No clicking, no pausing.

  • Japanese (JLPT N5–N1), Chinese (HSK1–6, simplified and traditional), or English (CEFR A1–B2) — pick whichever you're learning, and it picks words near your actual level instead of random ones
  • See meanings in English, German, Spanish, or French
  • Works on YouTube for free, no account needed
  • Fully offline — no AI, nothing sent anywhere, just a bundled dictionary
  • Free tier is genuinely usable (120 words/day), Pro adds Netflix support + a stats dashboard + Anki export if you want to go deeper

Not trying to replace immersion or grammar study — just a low-effort way to pick up vocab in the background while you're watching something you'd watch anyway.

Happy to answer questions about how it works, and genuinely open to feedback if you try it and something's off — this is a small solo project, not a big company thing.
