ReplyDeletehahaha
Can anyone translate that for us?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm curious, that is Big Ben right? So perhaps it's set in London but is NOT in English?
So curious!
...and Veela beat me to the punch. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I got all excited looking for online translators because babelfish doesn't do Polish and the first one I used didn't say anything sensible.
ReplyDeleteGoogle translators came up with that pretty easily. Of course, after the effort that was a bit disappointing....haha
Thanks vv and milo..... u both get 5 ribozymes:)
ReplyDeletei tried poltran.com, veela, what are you using?
ReplyDeletebtw, there is definitely a london connection to the show. the lonelygirl appears to be located in london based on this:

I used the google translator for that translation, which was much better than anything else I attempted.
ReplyDeleteIf N1ckola is just a play of Nickola this is interesting (from a babynames website):
ReplyDeleteMeaning: Its source is Nikola, a Greek name meaning "Victorious people."
Narrative: This name, like Berenice and Veronica, features an element derived from the name of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.
(I don't have nearly as mad googling skills as Milo, especially when it's in Polish)
This has obviously been in the works for a while since it's starting this month. Makes you wonder if the Italian show is being developed and won't be announced (at least in the US) until it's ready to launch.
ReplyDeleteHaving grown up going to a Polish church, I'm checking if my family knows anyone youngish who might be interested in the show and can translate.
Very cooL BK:)
ReplyDeleteAll that time I spent learning Italian I should have been learning Polish. :)
ReplyDeleteDov'e la toilette?
Someone better translate! I don't want to miss anything important.
ReplyDeleteMathieas, I'm sure the time for some mad Italian skills will come soon enough!
ReplyDeleteI won't understand it but I'm pretty excited!
ReplyDeleteEQAL will be running three projects at once? WOW! Good for them. =)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! I just remembered I have a really nerdy Polish friend in my French class that I may convince to translate!
ReplyDeleteIt being set in London makes sense, we have quite the polish influx in the UK, England.
ReplyDeletePolish native speaker here.
ReplyDelete"Wkrótce dowiesz się wiecej"
actually means
"You'll find out more soon".
Have a nice day.
