Help with some translations please!

[white43]

Hi All,

 

Trying to recreate some cards for the Blade Runner universe and at some point, someone created these:

 

 

Is anyone able to identify what is actually written on the back of these cards??

 

Many Thanks

It looks like translatese to me (but someone can correct me if I'm wrong) and seems to say:

 

You [polite you] have been authorised to use the following kind/sort/category

link six

 

Does that sound like something that might be on it? I can't make much of it but perhaps it makes more sense in context.

Hiya - thanks for the quick response!

 

That sounds about right. I would expect it to say something along the lines of that.

 

I suspect someone was trying to translate:

 

"Authorised to use the following category : Nexus Six"

 

Has someone simply translated English into Chinese using Google??

Yeah, it's a poor translation, but it looks like that's what they were trying to translate. You could just argue that in the future that's correct Chiinese. 

 

in context 'Nexus' is a brand / product name, it's been translated as 'link' or 'connection' which I don't think works well. It'd be fairly normal to choose characters with a similar pronunciation in this case: 内克斯 or something like that, maybe.

And then 内克斯六号 rather than just 六. Ah well.

OP, yes it was probably a google translation, certainly not something a real speaker did. But it gets the message across alright.
