Re: Phonetic Japanese Translation

Hi!

Just so you know, the reason that you are not getting any responses
may be due to the unwritten rules this site has (I looked for a
written version but couldn't find anything). Firstly, people don't
like to feel as though they are being used as a free translation
service. The amount of text you want translated would amount to at
least US$15 if it were a paid job. Would you offer your own hard
earned skills to a complete stranger for no payment at all?

Secondly, people prefer to help those that appear to have made some
effort to translate themselves or have at least provided enough
context, etc. to gauge what the desired outcome is. It would be
practically impossible to leave any humor intact if you made a literal
translation of that. If you want to explain to a Japanese audience
what is going on, you would be better off writing a short explanation
of what the jokes are and why they are funny in English.

That being said, if you tell me who your intended audience is and what
exactly you want them to know, I may translate at least part of it for
you. I am not a native speaker but I would be able to make a
reasonably clear, if not natural, translation.
