Just to give you an idea of the situation. I just started a job at a restaurant/bar. I'm a 24 year old man life finally makes sense as of january 5th. I fell in love with a beautiful 23 year old women who has a 31 year old boyfriends whos a teacher. I often spend hours after work talking to her. I want to...theres no other word for it wow this girl away from him. I know this seems selfish but trust me after what she had told me this truly is a selfess act. I wrote her a letter but I want it to be a riddle, I want it to be something she will appreciate. I want to put this letter in different languages and have the a plate specially made with this message. As soon as this is finished hopefully with everyones help by January 11th I will serve her dessert off of this plate. Here is what will be written on the plate.
I know I don`t know anyone here but if someone could do me this large favor it would be greatly appreciated. If someone could translate the German lines I would be in your debt. If anyone is able to translate the Japanese as well or knows of someone or a somewhere I can have it translated that would be greatly appreciated.
German : January 6th, 2008
Japanese : Everything before this day finally had a meaning; finally I understood the
Braille : riddle
Japanese : that was my life.
Spanish : Dear Ashley, The following words are so bold that I could not put them in English. When the time comes that you would like to know what they mean, I only hope you can accept them.
German : After everything you had told me yesterday.
Japanese : I knew that earning my way into your heart was not going to be an easy task. I could not stop thinking about you.
German : I shed a tear, I could not sleep.
Japanese : Nothing in life felt more right.
German : Something I could not explain told me I had to make you happy; I had to show you the world.
French : Il y a plain d'autre chose que j'aimerais vous dire, mais il n'y a pas assez de place sure cette assiette.
English : All these words are trying to say is that
Braille : with you by my side:
English : I want to be a tango dancer; I want to be a business owner; I'd like to start a band; I'd love to see every inch of land.
Japanese : I won't stop trying to steal your heart because you have already stolen mine.
German : January 5th,
Japanese : Everything in life made sense; I fell in love with Ashley; I started to believe in god again; everything had a meaning.
I love you (as many languages as possible)
Please help me translate this stuff. I can't stop thinking of this girl.

Nice idea, but I agree with Sharpe. It is too complicated to be romantic. Stick with one language (one that you know and she doesn't) and give her at least a chance to solve it if she wants too.

Mention her bf in the story , that way you won't seem like a completely heartlesss prick.
Something like : If you need to kill the old guy then I have a "friend" who can help.
Put that in pig-latin (oh how appropriate , she will laugh I tell you) ...

so after 2 days of meeting this girl you're in love with her???
and she has a boyfriend already that she tells you is horrible?
you only know as much as she wants to tell you...instead of chatting to her for hours after work go out and get drunk and meet some available girls.

Not to mention he's inconsistent with his dates. January 5th or 6th, which is it?

I agree with some of these people. Falling in love with someone who is already attached is almost certainly going to break your own heart, hurt people, and possibly get your ass kicked depending on your actions. Be glad you're in Germany, maybe your ass has a chance to not get kicked.

For all the good it will do, you might as well draw a dick on it. At least your intentions would be clear.

No way dude , too mature , specially for a "man" of 24.
I'd recommend he draw tons of smileys and hearts on the letter with lots of "I love you"s and write at the very bottom of the card
"Your secret admirer"
and then sign his name under it , just in case he confuses the poor woman.

super sweet idea, and you can't help who you fall in love with. But, if her bf was truly that horrible, she would have left him already. Do you really want to start a relationship right after she gets out of one? lots of baggage and...umm...do you want to the be rebound?
if it all works out though, then good luck!

THat reminds me of the first time I hit some chic with the ol' "Tá me in ngra leat" , I think I had known her about 6 days so I knew that IT HAD TO BE LOVE... she didnt have a boyfriend either and we were at a Caeli (Irish traditional dance) in some Gaeltacht that our parents forced us to attend for a month in summer.
She told me to go fuck myself I believe , and not in Gaelic either , but when I called her a bitch afterwards she burst into tears I considered the entire exercise to be rather productive. I was 11 I think , with tons of zits so kind of on a par with Romeo here , cept I was classier on account of her not havin a bf.

Ahh, young Gaeltacht love, climbin' out windows at 3am, being chased by Fir na TÃ with broomsticks and torches, shiftin' behind the church, three-wheeled Renault 5s full of locals tryin' to gatecrash the CeilÃs, moochin' young wans and not knowing what to say to them.

Crazyinlove. I think you are setting yourself up for a fall by coming on too strong too soon and she may think you are desperate. It would be different if you had known this young lady for many months and your relationship had gone this way. And unless you are a mind reader how do you know she feels the same way as you and if she does then I would say there is a 0.0001% certainty of that. You haven’t even got her knickers off yet. Keep the intimate chats going, invite her along to a few places that you think she may find interesting, give her time to fall in love as well.

I agree with BattalionBoy. Crazyinlove, if you carry on like that then I can guarantee you that you will be rejected. Sappy lines like this don't work on women. Be cocky and funny and a challenge. I wouldn't go for a woman who has a boyfriend. There are too many fish in the sea. Keep the emotional stuff under wraps and just look to have a good time when you are with a girl. You can save the i love yous for when you are married.

If I were her, I'd run away. Seems like you're coming on way too strong. But I'm not her, or you, so you might as well go all out. And "I love you" in Thai is "Pom rak khun" Then again, maybe I wouldn't run away due to the fact that I wouldn't know what your poem meant.

Give her time to fall in love as well.
I think he should give her time to leave that 31 year old boyfriend. I agree, CrazyinLove is setting himself up to be really let down hard, but that's not unusual when you are acting "crazy in love". This appears to be a fairly typical young love scenario.

Well I, for one, wouldn't necessarily run away, and anyway I approve of the sentiments and what they can add to the world in terms of wonderment too much to advise anyone not to follow them. Good luck!
Any idea how long she has been with her boyfriend? That might help clarify things somewhat. In spite of what she says about him, it may be that the good outweighs the bad, or that it's like 55% bad/45% good and she's yet to clarify that even to herself, or then again maybe she is just afraid to leave him. But her telling you this stuff may just be her letting off steam in a no-repercussions environment, and exaggerating slightly in order to do that, or it may be that she really likes your attention and is exaggerating a little, intentionally or unintentionally, because of the way you respond. Not trying to say anything negative, just that these are some of the real possibilities, from another woman's point of view.
Happy plate-making. And man, I hope you highly prize perseverance in your mates, because she's going to have to have it to get through that

The classic German version is a post-it or similar note with "Willst du mit mir gehen?" and then two boxes labelled "Ja" and "Nein" written on it.
