I don't know Russian and I want to ask a Russian artist for permission to upload their work. I tried google translate but I don't think it's accurate for English to Russian. So I want to say
"I don't know any Russian except, 'May I upload your works to e621.net? You will be credited as the creator and can have it taken down anytime.'"

don't know russian (can't read nothing when a language doesn't have english letters or close to it. so this russian may as well be moon language to my eyes just as japanese is when not written in romanji.) but i ran the text in the quotes through translation babylon (english > russian then again with the languages swapped) and this was the result:

"Я Дон't знать любой русский за исключением, 'Могу ли я загрузить ваши работает в e621.net? Вам будут начисляться как создатель и может иметь его принять вниз в любое время."

don't know if it's more accurate but google translate is crap anyway so it may or may not be. but i'd trust somewhere like translation babylon (the online translation i used is free btw so feel free to try it out yourself) more than googles translations any day. google tends to spit out little more than word salad for any language i think.

edit: oops, forgot the http junk again. ok, full post should show now.

Are Russians even ALLOWED to use the internet???

Yeah this is news to me as well, I thought the internet was banned in Russia

I appreciate the help treos. I will try this if I can't get a russian speaker to verify it.

Are the laws that strict in Russia? I heard about the recent blogger registration.

I've seen a good number of russian furry sites and users. Like musikalgenius has written in russian.

Russia bans everything: TV, internet, memes, guns, eating, sex, air...

and of course, ban all homosexual content as it is western propaganda! or something like that. i haven't bothered to check up on that in a while. i know they tried getting certain content here blocked at some point but in the end that failed and...they probably just blacklisted e621 or something.

they probably have a list of blocked websites a mile long that people have to use proxy's and stuff to bypass.

I remember back when I had to use circumvention sites! I was even subscribed to an updating list of the circumvention sites, since they'd get blacklisted every now and then but new ones couldn't be "Automatically blocked" unless a system ran on a whitelist to start with.

If you're going to ask at all, ask in English.
Lotsa people know it, big surprise here.

Do not use Google Translate. What treos posted is worse than complete gibberish.
It's kinda readable, also kinda implies the artist will be paid back, and if they don't like it they can suck it up.

The proper translation of that phrase into Russian is "".
The need to ask permission to repost something does not translate well. And it's Russia ffs.

As the very last resort, use something like
"Привет, можна перепостить твои арты на e621.net?"
This will force a reply in casual Russian you won't be able to parse, or a "fuck you" which you won't be able to parse either, even from a person with decent English. And that's half-English spelled in Cyrillics anyway.

Don't ever send google translated text.
I saw too many people (Japanese) don't know english so they send google translated engrish crap to someone. No one can understand wtf is that even a translator.
Some people are better because they also send their original text.

Here's how Reverso translates that back to English:
I Дон't to know any Russian with the exception of, whether I do Can to load your works in e621.net? To you they will be added as the founder really can have to accept him downwards at any time.

As was already said, machine translation usually outputs gibberish.

Я Дон't знать - autotranslator derped on "don't". And entire phrase is wrong
I'm russian, so I'll translate for you:

Я не говорю по-русски, однако хочу узнать, можно ли загрузить ваши работы на e621.net? Ваше авторство будет сохранено и вы можете потребовать их убрать в любое время.

Last part of sentence is doubtful.. e621 is blocked in russia because of some loli art - it considered child porn legally (unless one uses VPN). Curious, so far I didn't met any russian furry artist who coudn't understand simple english phrase, albeit some can't speak or write smoothly. Who is that?

Thank you all. This last translation comes out of reverso perfectly. I wanted to upload xepxyu's work. Which I heard is russian for dick dick. When asking in english I received no reply.
Thank you Swiftkill I will save this translation.

xepxyu is just a bit of play with latin letters that look like russian херхуй

that more appropriate to translate as Dongwang :P Frankly there was other one named dik dik (or dikdik?)

wow, well it's not much better than google's word salad after all. the 1st sentence seems...ok. but the 2nd one...yeah, don't use that one.

even anime fan sub groups of dragonball super added a subtitle to 1 or 2 episodes at some point asking people to stop using google translate for subbing.

Google actually got better potential than any static translator, because it is deep learning neuronet. Problem is to let it learn properly. Broken "internet" speech complicates it, because every individual got own language.

You can get decent translation with google translator if you break up your phrases in simple ones, avoiding idioms and syntax crutches. Latter are untranslatable and often confuse neuronet, if they have different meaning as a word. For savoir faire stuff and idoms, use references, there are lots of them on internet for popular languagages. Use wikipedia for niche terms, direct translation rarely work perfectly. Just one funny example: sex bolt. It's special fixture to bolt together wooden parts. But only the english term sounds naughty (there is alternative ones: coupling bolt, coupling bolt & nut).

Idioms,meme and morphems are not translatable by machine, until machine woudn't become aware. Why is that? Because it should understand what it is talking about and have database on cultural background of language. Startrek had episode that comically exposed that problem.

What is morpheme? You can look up it in google or wiki, I can't give a better defenition than they can.
Some languages, russian included, have rules to build new words using morphemes and that is generally understandable by natives. But computer can't translate those words. Often they are translatable by entire phrase, sarely - by single word. I used such word in my translation, but it had fixed meaning in google's database, because it is commonly used word по-русски. It's single word made of prefix по- root рус, adjective-building suffix ск and short adjective ending и.Using that prefix and shortened ending (with root and appropriate adjective-building suffix) creates new adverb (sometimes used as adjective), meaning of which is "likness of <root>". In this case it is "likeness of rus". Actual translation would depend on what root is used. E.g. кофе по-флотски - coffee, Navy recipe; cooked like in Navy (флот - navy or fleet, meaning depends on context), something like that. In fact, it's french-pressed coffee with salt, I'm not sure if there common term for that.
