Argh. [Gives up and asks for help] by Huinesoron on 2008-08-18 02:08:00 UTC Reply

Rather a peculiar request... does anyone know (or, rather, can anyone find out) how to say "Welcome to Ukraine" in Ukrainian? Preferably in the Roman rather than Cyrillic alphabet.

Actually what I want to know how to say is "Welcome to Wales" in Ukrainian, but I doubt that combination appears anywhere on the internets, so I plan to play the Substitution Game (what fun, what fun). So what I really need is the Ukrainian for "Welcome to", well, anywhere.

hS, master of extremely strange requests

after seeing the new addition to Nyx Nightingale's wiki page, this request suddenly seems to make a lot more sense.

Ukrainian, eh? by Makari on 2008-08-18 02:29:00 UTC Reply

Try this site: translator

It appears to be completely Ukrainian, and provides a number of different translations, first in the Cyrillic alphabet (at least, I presume that's what it was), then, under that, Roman for pronunciation.

The only thing is, when I typed in the phrase, it spat the words out individually with no regard to grammar...

Another option might be to find a list of Cyrillic-to-Roman characters ~ there's all sorts of things like that for Japanese characters, so it shouldn't be too hard to find... This looks vaguely like the sort of thing you'd need, though I'm not sure it's quite right. Then, if you have a translator that spits out only Cyrillic, you can go through and transliterate...

Eh, well, I hope I've managed to be at least slightly helpful. Dare I ask why you need to know how to say "Welcome to Wales" in Ukrainian?
