Can you translate this?

HOLA PAISANOS. SALUDOS ATODOS AQUELLOS QUE ESTAN EN EL EXTRANGERO PERO QUE SU CORAZON ESTA EN NICARAGUA, A COMO DICE LA CANCION: "ESTOY AQUI, PERO MI MENTE ESTA ALLA". BUENO POR SI ACASO, YO ESTUVE EN LA 'UNI' ESTUDIANDO EN EL '87/'88 EN INGENIERIA EN COMPUTACION Y HASTA LA FECHA NO HE PODIDO EATABLECER CONTACTO CON NINGUNO DE MIS EXCOMPANEROS DE CLASE.TALVEZ ALGUNO DE UDS. LOS PUEDA CONOCER, FUIMOS DEL PRIMER CURSO, TALES COMO: "LENIN, FRANCISCO OCANA, ROBERTO BONILLA, AMANDA WILSON, MARIA TERESA GOMEZ, ROSA ARGENTINA", EN FIN TODA "LA MARA". VIVA NICARAGUA.

1. I usually recommend Lonely Planet's Thorntree forum, but

they seem to be having server problems. you could try Babelfish or some such.

[sui generis]

2. here's a try

'ssup dude! Greetings to ya'll who are here but whose hearts are in Nicaragua. How's the song go, "I'm here but my mind is elsewhere".

And so it begins . . .

Group Effort! Next!

on edit: J Sang these people could have had you on. I like fried baby ducks and am obsessed with the left side. I only shave on the left too and so only have half a mustachio, joo know, down there. Some men find this interesting. Others do not. :rofl:

okay okay let me go look at it again.

second edit:
was a university student in 87 and 88 in computer engineering up until the time I could no longer stay in touch with my classmates. Maybe like you. Ya'll can know, we primarily studied Lenin, Francisco Ocana, Roberto Bonilla, Amanda Wilson, Maria Teresa Gomez, Rosa Argentina; all of the "Mara". Viva Nicaragua.

4. try babelfish

[Che_Nuevara]

5. Google and Babel translations are terrible.

They don't take into consideration multiple meanings of words, don't know a thing about idioms and word combinations, and generally just go through literally translating the words one by one. If you type the German equivalent "It's about to start" ("gleich geht es los") into Babelfish and translate it into English, you get "directly goes it loosely".

Don't bother with Babel or Google translations.

11. I agree. I've tried to translate things and I've come up with gibberish.

:wtf:

6. translation

Hi, paisan (Italian word; not Spanish). Greetings to those who are outside the country but whose heart is in Nicaragua. Like the song goes: 'I am here but my mind is there.' At any rate, I was in the university studying computer engineering in '87/'88, and have not as yet been able to establish contact with any of my ex-classmates. Perhaps one of you knows them, we were in the first class, including (names of all his ex-classmates), alas, all of 'la mara' (I've no idea what that is). Long live Nicaragua.

[SteppingRazor]

7. Something like --

Hello, fellow countrymen. Salutations to everyone who lives elsewhere, but whose heart is in Nicaragua. Like the song says, I am here, but my mind is elsewhere." I studied computer engineering in the U.S. in 1987-88 and I haven't been able to track down any of my old classmates. If you think you knew me, we followed the first ones, such as Lenin, etc., etc. ... it all ends, "The Mara." Long live Nacaragua!


Sorry. Best I can do. My Spanish is really rusty.

[EFerrari]

10. Wow. Your Spanish is very good!

My pro translation wouldn't be very different.

:applause:

:)

8. Rough translation

Hello countrymen. A shout out to all those who are in foreign lands, but whose heart is still in Nicaragua. Like the song says "I am here, but my mind is over there." Just writing this in case - I was studying engineering & computers at the University from 87/88, and I haven't been able to get in contact with any of my ex-classmates. Maybe one of you would know someone - we were in the "First Course" together; some like: Lenin, Francisco Ocana, Roberto Bonilla, Amanda Wilson, Maria Teresa Gomez, Rosa Argentinta, and above all "La Mara." Long live Nicaragua.

[bettyellen]

9. my best shot.

hey dudes. shout out to everyone who is not here, but whose heart is here in nicaragua.
like the song says, " i'm here, but my head is there"
something about studing engineering and math? somplace..... and after that not seeing his homies from school and
he wants to know how they are doing, they were in the first course, a list of names who , everybody from "la mara"
long live nicaragua.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. Word by word.

Hello countrymen. Greetings to all of you abroad who’s heart is still in Nicaragua, like the song says: "I’m here but my mind is over there". Well just in case, I went to college during ‘87/ ’88 studying engineering and CIS and until now I have not been able to get in touch with any of my classmates. If you migth know me we were in the first class, like: "Lenin, Francisco Ocana, Roberto Bonilla, Amanda Wilson, Maria Teresa Gomez, Rosa Argentina", in other words all of "La Mara". Long Live Nicaragua.

13. Here's my translation ...

HELLO COUNTRYMEN! SALUTATIONS TO ALL WHO ARE AWAY BUT WHOSE HEARTS REMAIN IN NICARAGUA. AS THE SONG SAYS, "I'M HERE, BUT MY HEART REMAINS THERE". WELL, I WAS AT THE "UNI{VERSITY}" STUDYING IN '87/'88 IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE CONTACTS WITH MY EX-CLASSMATES TO THIS DATE. PERHAPS SOME OF YOU MAY POSSIBLY KNOW, WE WENT TO THE PRIMARY COURSES, SUCH AS "LENIN ..... ARGENTINA", LASTLY "LA MARA". LONG LIVE NICARAGUA!
