Hey there awesome people at TL.net

I'm in need of your help in these troubled times!.

I need to translate the phrase: "Turn it Off!", as in turning off electrical artefacts, into the most possible languages.

I already have: English, Spanish, French and Swedish (thx FA <3).

Anyone else have other mighty language ? ANY LANGUAGE works!.

Thanks!

In Portuguese it would be "Desligue!" or "Desligue isso!" (the first is more usual, the last one is a more literal translation).

Tell people to stop watching porn.

I think it's to tell people to turn lights off and conserve electricity.

Reasonable, and it does exhibit a sense of forcefulness... then again, exclamation marks in different languages have different level of forcefulness.

However it could also mean to close something, as in the lid of a jar, doors, windows, etc. So it might be confusing depending on where it is posted.

"spegnilo!/spegnila!/spegnili!" In italian courtesy of a friend. o is for masculine things, a is for feminine and i for plural.

apagalo/apagala/apagalos in Spanish courtesy of the same friend. You may want to check these.

guan shang.

I'm not exactly a fluent speaker of mandarin, but wouldn't guan diao be more appropriate for electronics than guan shang?

关掉 refers to electronics while 关上 is more like a "close the door" kind of close

Croatian

"Ugasi to!"
or
"Isključi to!" (I guess this one refers more to some electronic devices, but the other is also used a lot.)

This roughly means: (You (singular)) turn it off!
If that's not what you meant, just send me a PM.

Japanese:

消して下さい。 Please turn it off.
消せ! Imperative form. Very forceful and impolite.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

This is 'turn it off'.
It's in the Yiddish language.
Good luck reading it. ;]
