Please look forward to this linguistics project...

[Rikitiki]

Hello everyone!

I thought it would be fun to do a little linguistics project, and I'd like your help in putting it together.

We're all familiar with what is becoming Yoshi-P's trademark phrase, "Please look forward to it." I wonder... how do you say that in every language in the world? Or at least every language that we the players of FFXIV speak?

I'm unwilling to use Google Translate, because 1) that's too easy and 2) it's too often inaccurate.

Do you all speak any other languages? Please share the translation! (Remember, no Google-related cheating!) Thank you!

Here's what I have so far (updated 6/21/2014 5:43PM GMT):

Japanese - 楽しみにしてください. (Tanoshimi ni shite kudasai.)
English - Please look forward to it.
Chinese - 请期待吧
Danish - Se venligst frem til det. (Thanks Nikorayu!)
Dutch - Verheug je erop. (Thanks Nekomataya!)
French - S'il vous plaît, veuillez vous y attendre. (Thanks Atamos!)
Hebrew - Tetzapu leze bevakasha. - .תצפו לזה בבקשה (Thanks Razzle!)
Irish - Beidh sibh ag súil leis, le do thoil. (Thanks Niamh_Rillemaugh!)
Italian - Aspettate e vedrete! (Thanks Bluevann!)
Pig Latin - Easplay ooklay orwardfay otay itway. (Thanks Mcshiggs.... I think. :P)
Norwegian - Vennligst se frem til det. (Thanks again, Nikorayu!)
Portuguese - Por favor, aguarde. (Thanks AlexionSkylark!)
Spanish (Spain) - Por favor, esperar y ver.
Spanish (Mexico) - Por favor espérenlo con ganas. (Thanks Roris!)

At least in Mexican flavored Spanish it would be "Por favor espérenlo con ganas" o "Por favor espérenlo ansiosamente/con ansias".

Hello everyone!...

Spanish - Por favor, esperar y ver.

Will be better translate as:

"Por favor espera en un futuro por él" or "Próximamente , espera por él"

edit: lol Roris reply before i finish its also good translated

[Bluevann]

I'm Italian. and here in my country the most commonly used sentence that would translate to that is:

"Aspettate e vedrete!" (literally, "Just wait and you'll see!")

If instead you want something more literal, it would be "Vi preghiamo di non vedere l'ora" (literally, "Please look forward to it"). But nobody uses that kind of line here. It may even get some Italians to give you funny looks to say something like that.

There is a little mistake in the french sentence:

S'il vous plaît, veuillez vous y attendre.

Will be better translate as:

"Por favor espera en un futuro por él" or "Próximamente , espera por él"

I agree with the Spanish Translates. . . and could be : "Por favor, espérenlo próximamente".

[AlexionSkylark]

Portuguese - Por favor, aguarde.

There's no good way to say it in Irish. The best you could probably do would be
"Beidh sibh ag súil leis, le do thoil."

It translates roughly to "You will expect it, if you will."

Hard to tell what it translates to in Hebrew... I guess something like this:

Tetzapu leze bevakasha. - .תצפו לזה בבקשה

[Mcshiggs]

Easplay ooklay orwardfay otay itway.
