Hello everyone!
I need some help to translate some words to japanese and cyrillic, and find fonts in japanese and cyrillic to use.
It�s for a design project for a airport coffee shop.
I want to play whit the words in different languages [portuguese, spanish, english, french, deutsch, japanese and russian].
The languages whit a roman structure are easy but the cyrillic and japanese I really don't now how to find.
I hope someone in this fantastic community have the answer.
The words are:

Portuguese version: SENTIR, CHEIRAR, CONHECER, DESCOBRIR, EXPLORAR, PRAZER, FRAG�NCIA, VIAJAR.
English version: FEEL, SMEEL, KNOW, FIND, EXPLORE, PLEASURE, SCENT, TRAVEL.
Deutsch version: Fühlen, RIECHEN, KENNEN, FINDEM, ERFORSCHEN, GENUSS, WOHLGERUCH, REISEN.
French version: SENTIR, SENTIR, CONNA�TRE, DECOUVRIR, EXPLOITER, PLAISIR, FRAGRANCE, VOYAGER

Correction to this words are welcome also.
Thanks in advance

English: second word I assume you mean SMELL.

Some minor corrections for the german words.:
'FINDEN' ( Instead of 'FINDEM' ), maybe 'DUFT' ( Instead of 'WOHLGERUCH' )..
( 'PLEASURE' in German, could be 'GENUSS' or 'VERGN�GEN'.. )

unknown

Right... bad english! It�s my keyboard fault! ;)

Thank�s Patricia!

unknown

I know, always blame the keyboard...

unknown

Finden will be! Thanks
About the others.
Duft its about to scent a perfume and wohlgeruch is not the same. Right?
And PLEASURE is about the pleasure to know new places and travelling. What is the best word for that?

Thanks David

And I use a Apple keyboard. I can�t imagine if it is a PC Patricia! ;))))

unknown

For me 'Pleasure' means 'Vergnuegen'..
( 'Travelling for me is a PLEASURE'. > 'Reisen ist für mich ein VERGN�GEN.' )

'Wohlgeruch' is a pretty strange word, even in German.. :-)
( I think I never, ever used that word, before, at all, in the past.. )

unknown

Thank's David. I will change my options.

The best for you for your help!

The only other suggestion I might make (and obviously I don't know what you're planning to do with those words) is to try to make them all the same tense. Most of them are verbs - maybe find a verb that works for Pleasure or Scent (you already have smell). You could use a word like Enjoy or Savor or Relax for Pleasure.

unknown

First of all sorry for the delay but since two days ago I can�t have access to the forums... I don�t now why.

Ok Patricia I go to try to explain in my poor English the project.
It�s a small coffee shop in an airport and I need to create a logo and all the graphic material to apply in the wall, balcony and furniture. I think to work images in the Photoshop connect to exotic and pleasure places� and cross the images whit lines and points [like city spots in the map], but I want to replace the usual city our country names by words in different languages connect to the pleasure of travelling, know new places, learn about other cultures and costumes, taste new food, drinks and flavours� also I plain to use another graphic elements connect to the travel idea.
Enjoy and Savour is good words for Scent. But do you think Relax meaning the same as Pleasure? In Portuguese Relax is more like peace of mind and body and Pleasure is more like the excitement to know and participate in something new [like the smell and taste of a espresso].

unknown

Actually Pleasure is a verb in English as well as a noun so you can use it as is. I think Savor works better for Scent than Enjoy.

Some others: Indulge, Relish.

unknown

Thanks� Savor it�s a good word ided, like Relish� maybe I use them. But Indulge I can�t understood� indulge is not like pardon, forgiveness?

By the way� I get curios and I take a look in your site� you already do some work to coffee shops also� good ones.

Thanks once more!

unknown

Indulge isn't really like pardon or forgiveness, it's more like giving yourself a treat.

Yes, I've done some restaurant/cafe work but mostly I design books.

thanks.

Anyway a still looking for the Japanese translation, maybe I try the=20 Japanese Embassy. I already get in Russian.
