Various Language Translation Help Needed

[starl]

This has nothing to do with Excel - hence being in the lounge.
I'm looking for help translating a name to several languages. I'll need pronunciation help, too.

Zakhar's Golden Son

Zakhar is a proper name
Golden is in reference to color.. light yellow, but I want a word that signifies "Golden"
Son, of course = male child.

languages: Arabian, Egyptian, Turkish, Russian
any other volunteers, too, I guess. I'm looking for a name that rolls off the tongue nicely.

thanks!

Zakhar's Golden Son, In Spanish Zakhar's Hijo Dorado. In spanish Son (Hijo) goes before color Golden (Dorado)

 

[Greg Truby]

Actually I believe in Spanish it would be "El Hijo Dorado de Zakhar". But I"m not sure I have ever heard the phrase "hijo dorado". Were one to use such a phrase the implication would be something between "daddy's little boy" and "the spoiled son of Zakhar".

 

[Jaafar Tribak]

In French : Le fils doré de Zakhar
In Arabic : ابن زخرالذهبي = Ibn zakhar azzahabi

Zakhar's Golden Son

Indian Languages (which I know):

Hindi: Zakhar kaa sone jaisa ladka
Gujarati: Zakhar no sona jevo chokro
Marathi: Zakhar cha soneri mulga

There are quite a lot of other languages but I dont know how to write in other languages..

oh wow! thanks! and I've had a few more days to get to now the colt.. another consideration is

Zakhar's Light (as in sunlight, not light-skinned). What I'm trying to say is the colt (his everyday name is Gaylen, btw) is a reflection of the goodness (the "light") in Zakhar.

Jafaar - can I get this translated in arabic? Stormseed - Indian, too... the others are rather long, but perhaps this may be shorter?


thank you!!!
Now that I have his everyday name, I'm so excited to get his licensed name!
oh.. ya'll are probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about!!!

Well, your Spanish is gonna be

• La Luz de Zakhar

However "Luz" is an actual name used for people and it's feminine. An alternative might be

• El Rayo de Zakhar (= Ray of Zakhar)

But I've gotta think Jaafar can come up with something way cooler.

 

[Stormseed]

oh ok...how about this:

In Hindi (slightly sanskrit): Gaylen - Suryavansham

Suryavansham is one word - "Surya" as in SUN - "Vansh" as in an ancestral family. Together "Suryavansham" brings out the meaning -- one who belongs to the SUN Family.

 

[Stormseed]

Pronouncing Suryavansham

"Suryavansham" as in one word - the vowel of 'a' shud not be taken (in whole of the word) when pronouncing Suryavansham - it shud be: "soorya" "wan" "sham". In other words, "a" shud not be an English "a" - it shud be an Indian "a" - I hope you get it

Starl. here is how you say it in arabic: نور زخر = Noor zakhar
