Text in some of the many languages of the world

I don’t understand what the thread is about sorry EP

There are threads in French, at least one thread in German, yet there are many other languages. This thread is to explore just samples of the vast number of languages that exist, maybe turning up wonderfully serendipitous spin-offs of things people, including me, would never know about otherwise.

I don’t understand what’s expected here, tbh.

Well, eight posts so far and no interest shown.

Yet maybe some people are looking but not posting.

Maybe someone will post and the thread will get going well.

Anybody else been bored enough to pass their time on Google translate? confused

I find videos in languages and then I find the lyrics online and then I get an idea of the meaning from Google translate or from a translation given with the lyrics page, and then I look up the language and find out a little about it.

Very often when I am doing things on this computer I put YouTube on in another instantiation of the browser and then I have MyMix playing in the background, and some of the music is videos that I have watched and some are new to me, so I learn.

If you or others want to explore, you might like this song.

One could identify the language.

One could find the lyrics and find their meaning.

No, unless stuck with a German word.
