Does anyone know the basic phrases for seeking help in other languages? Is it listed on other sites?

The phrases such as: Help me !
I am injured and need paramedic help
I have been robbed
Can someone call police for me?
I am underattacked by terrorists !

Try this site: http://translation.langenberg.com/

I didn't try it, but it looks like it might be what you're looking for.

I could give you the translations in dutch.

Help mij.
Ik ben gewond en heb een ambulance nodig.
Ik ben beroofd.
Kan iemand de politie voor mij bellen ?
Ik word aangevallen door terroristen.

For what it's worth, in a lot of European country's there is 1 centralized number for emergencies. 112
I gues it's comparable with 911 in the us.

I have used this site in the past:

http://www.babblefish.com/babblefish/

I always have trouble when I haven't used in a while zeroing in on the "free" translation spot, but it does pretty good with spanish & german.

In Russian:

I am transliterating from cyrillic spelling into English
1. Pomogite! (strees on i)
2. Ya ranen i mne nuzhna skoroay pomosh'
3. Menya ograbili
4. Pozvonite v militsiy, pozhaluista
5. Menya nedostatochno attacovali terroristy!
(#5 is translated literaly as picard120 asked <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
#5 means:" I wasn't attacked enough by terrorists"
<img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

  • Would you call the police for me please? - Keikan o yonde moraemasu ka


  • I am underattacked by terrorists ! - If you are underattacked, I'd say you are doing better than everyone else. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Plus, if you are, it's likely that everyone else around you will be too.

    Allons-y pour la version fran?aise .... <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

    Help me ! .... "Aidez-moi !" or "Au secours"
    I am injured and need paramedic help .... "Je suis bless? et j'ai besoin d'une assistance m?dicale" or "je suis bless?..appelez un m?decin/les pompiers/une ambulance" (in France, firemen are generally called up for any kind of accident to provide first aid.
    I have been robbed ..... "j'ai ?t? vol?" ... "Au voleur !!"
    Can someone call police for me? ..... "Appelez la police !!!"
    I am underattacked by terrorists ! ... I guess you meant "I'm under attack ..." ? "Je suis attaqu? par des terroristes !"

    Agreed!, -Many typical Phrase Books, -including and especially Good ones such as the Berlitz Pocket sized Guides, -have Excellent, Extensive such sections. Sometimes a whole chapter. Additionally, -there is often a large Medical Translation section/chapter.

    Even Bilingual Dictionaries, and sometimes Grammers, -often have such a section. Sometimes they're Extensive and Good!

    French was always a mystery to me. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
    How do you pronounce those phrases, there are so many letters? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

    I used to speak French very good. Learned it two years at school. Stopped with it, and after two months....I didn't new anything anymore!! French is one of those languages that you need to keep speaking.
