BABELE! The Babilonia's tower of world's languages

[vivalalavatrice]

Here the main language is English/American, although we all come really from all over the world...and that's the point, starting from each of us mothertongue language adding every language we know, how many translation can we make?

I'd start with these very "laundry" words:

1.WASHER or WASHING-MACHINE;
2.DRYER;
3.SOAP;
4.DETERGENT;
5.FABRIC SOFTNER;
6.BLEACH;

Of course, if you need/have more than one words corresponding, put it!

ITALIAN...and...

That's the translatione in Italian first of all:

1.LAVATRICE, LAVABIANCHERIA;
2.ASCIUGATRICE, ASCIUGABIANCHERIA, ESSICCATORE;
3.SAPONE;
4.DETERGENTE,DETERSIVO;
5.AMMORBIDENTE;
6.CANDEGGIANTE,CANDEGGINA.

Why don't try with French too?

1.Machine-a-laver;
2.Machine-sechant;
3.Savon;
4,5,6 SORRY!!!! REally don't remeber

FRENCH EXAM: NOT PASSED!
GRR... Well it'll be for nest time!

I'd like to know indeed the translatione of these words in Russian!And why not in Chinese, or Japanese, or Turkish, or Swailii as well?!?!?!?

Japanese

(not that I knew these words, but I have several English-Japanese dictionaries, plus on-line translation sites):

1.WASHER or WASHING-MACHINE == Sentakuki;
2.DRYER == doraiya-, kansouki
3.SOAP == shabon;
4.DETERGENT == senzai
5.FABRIC SOFTENER == juunanshiagezai;
6.BLEACH == hyouhakuzai, buri-chi;

Notice, like many Japanese words for objects of western origin, that the "japanese" word for dryer is a phonetic version of the english, such as "doraiya" for "dryer". Similarly, from my brief travels in Japan, I quickly learned that the commonly accepted word for "credit card" is "credito-cahdoh", lol. In rural Japan, credit cards are rarely honored but it doesn't hurt to ask...
