Chinese Symbols Required

DirtyMonkey · 4 Apr 2006 at 17:55

Hi,

I'm sure there must be someone out here who can help me out with this. I'm after some chinese symbols for an article I'm writing at the moment some I could probably find on the interweb but some are a bit... Odd.

E.g

Bee (I guess pretty straightforward)
Bat (as in the winged mouse variety)
Monkey
Lion
Gnu
Aardvark (a bit more off the wall...)

Thanks very much if anyone could help out.

I'll give some examples here but if you could email me I actually have a list of 22 that would be fantastic if you could translate for me!!

This can give you most of those you are asking for, single words should be correct on there, it's sentences where it has difficulty.

sweet - I'll give it a go.

I didn't realise this existed for non-european languages!

Great that worked really well, of course I have no idea whether what came out makes any sense but it doesn't really matter too much as I doubt anyone who reads it and can understand it will care too much that I've had to change

"Jammy Dodger" into "Jam Filled Biscuit" or that there was no literal translation for "Whalley Range"

I was surprised that it had a translation for growler! 短路线圈测试仪
