lol I hope this is real. Tte Arabic text is machine translated and is written from left to right. It asks to vote OR volunteer.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

They need to get a refund on whatever machine they're using. Google translate is better than whatever they used

Google translates that as "We were sleeping, and we were not sleeping", as well as saying she's Alexandria Occasion Cortel from the Losing Sector.

[–] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The script is all wrong, this is actually fantastic speed-dont-laugh

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't know the least bit of Arabic and even I was going "isn't the letters supposed to be joined together?"

[–] milk_thief@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

and it is arragnd in the wrong direction

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 39 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Could they have hired 1 Arabic speaker? Aren't there any professional translators that'll work for em? It's like a 10 minute job. All those people who were translators for the military in countries across the ME and Afghanistan and yet they can't find one.

pathetic

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 8 months ago

From what I've heard from Arabic speakers working for the democrats is (big shock) they are really racist and ignorant towards them and tend to drive them out.

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Given how hard the Americans fought against allowing any people from Iraq and Afghanistan to seek refuge in America, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of Arabic speakers who want to work with the Democrats is a rapidly dwindling number.

Afghanistan doesn't speak Arabic

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I am well aware of that fact that Afghanistan doesn't speak Arabic. However the invasion and occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan required the recruitment of a lot of locals who were able to translate for the occupational authorities. Said translators then had their applications for asylum denied in most of the West, despite being a pretty important cog in the imperial machine, because the west chose to prioritize domestic political concerns over the welfare of the people who had risked their lives to help them. Sorry if my last sentence seems too lib, but the way these people were so easily discarded was an important part of my radicalization and leftward movement.

To non-Spanish speakers: This is also what it sounds like when aoc speaks Spanish

[–] 666PeaceKeepaGirl@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

Spanish translation

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 31 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

I can't read arabic, but that looks wrong somehow. Aren't the letters supposed to be joined together? I remember learning the sounds at one point. It kinda looks like the thai script actually.

Also
pussy lol

edit: Wait is the script going the wrong way??? Lol wtf

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ye letters are supposed to be joined going right to left. Certain letter combinations will change the way the letters are written, too. It's like if they wrote "Vote for AOC!" like this:

c O A r O f E T o v !

Can Trump see the future and he was telling us this entire time?!?!?!?!

[–] Waldoz53@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

its the wrong way AND not joined together, its amazing

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was Thai too at first glance lmao

[–] 666PeaceKeepaGirl@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Thai translation

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It also looks like they used the Arabic equivalent of comic sans.

for anyone not familiar with arabic this is how it should look like, but with a different font because I have a headache and I ain't searching for the one piece today

Also note that the arabic is ass, it's the equivalent to "You're winner!"

[–] milk_thief@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Why the fuck is the script written from left to right like English? That's now how it works.
