Android Question Please help with translation.

Sorry for being off topic.
In Russian, for the abbreviated spelling of the phrase “birthday”, the abbreviation ДР can be used (this is in Cyrillic). Is there a similar option for English, German and French?

Are you talking about people

about people

In English - After DOB: 150 years

I'm not sure that choosing an age older than anybody has ever (verifiably) lived will help to keep this discussion on track. ?

If you are looking for a shorter way of saying "After DOB" (or "After Birthday"?) in English, then consider using "Age" eg "Age: 150 years".

I speak French. I confirm that we can say DDN
Date De Naissance in French

 

[Sergey_New]

In German: Seit Geburt: 150 Jahre
It would be nice if "Seit Geburt" were shorter.

In English - After DOB: 150 years
There remains a translation into German

Mein Deutsch ist beschissen, aber deepl sagt, vielleicht hast du Glück:

I'm not sure that choosing an age older...

In Russian, the word Age is used only for living people or buildings, etc.

 

[Sergey_New]

deepl sagt, du hast Glück

Thank you!

And... ?

Are you talking about people ... ?

about people

Or are you talking about non-living people too?

In English I would then say: "Born 150 years ago" which is 4 characters shorter than "Since b'day: 150 years"

 

[emexes]

In English I would then say: "Born 150 years ago" which is 4 characters shorter than "Since b'day: 150 years"

or "Since birth: 150 years" or "Years since birth: 150"

both of those are 3 characters shorter than "Since birthday: 150 years"

so at least we've made some progress from the original starting point ?

I agree that "age" usually only refers to still-existing / still-living things in English too

What is the exact field label that you have in Russian? (that we are trying to match in length in other languages)

 

[Sergey_New]

What is the exact field label that you have in Russian?

The number of characters before and after the “:” sign should not be more than 9. In the end, I will have to stop at 10 characters.
If colleagues have no further comments:
Russian - После ДР:150 лет
English - After DOB:150 years
French - Après DDN:150 ans
German - Seit Geb.:150 Jahre

Hey @Sergey_New (Sergei?) did you check out that ChatGPT link? It is getting spookily good, if you can work out the right questions to ask.

[Sergey_New]

Your link is not opening for me.
No need to be spookil.

You need to clarify what you are asking for in the first post.
If what you are asking for is how old a person is the answer in English would be:
Age:

For the german part:

For Date of birth the correct german translation is GEBURTSTAG. You find this on all personal documents (passport, driving license). It is the same meaning like date of birth in english language or date de naissance in french language.
In german language there is no official rule I know, defining the time passed since the date of birth. Best description for this would be GEBOREN VOR XXX JAHREN. Translated to english it would be born XXX years ago.
It could be very tricky to put this into 10 characters. I am with MrKim (post above):

Example:
German language:
Geburtstag: 23.01.1823 (vor 200 Jahren)

This translated to english:
Date of birth: 23.01.1823 (200 years ago)

Another hint: Keep in mind, different languages and countries are using different separators. So this depends then on the DATETIME-Definition within your programme.
In german language we prefer DD.MM.YYYY. In english language often day and month are swapped by each other and the year misses the century, separated this way: MM/DD/YY. It is all about definition...
