Ourling

Write a memory in two languages

Preserve the words that feel natural while making the shared meaning understandable to both readers.

Try this

  1. Write the original phrase and add your own translation if needed, labeling it as a translation rather than a separate quotation.
  2. Ask whether the other person wants to adjust the wording or keep a phrase untranslated with a short explanation.

A worked example

“I’ll keep the phrase as you said it, then add what it meant to me in English underneath.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

A translation may not carry every shade of meaning. Leave room for clarification instead of presenting your version as the only possible reading.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.

Ourling’s library uses AI-assisted original writing. These are practical exercises, not clinical advice or promises about relationship outcomes. Suggest a correction or a missing situation.
