We would like to write the phrases like this:

Home
Sweet
Home

Welcome
To Our
Home

Bless
This
House

Home
Is Where
The Heart Is


I would like to know how to write this and where to seperate between characters. Babelfish translates differently when doing word to word verses a phrase.

Thank You,
Corrine

Home sweet home: Zoals het klokje thuis tikt, tikt het nergens.

Welcome to our home: Welkom in ons huis.

Bless this house: Zegen dit huis.

Home is where the heart is: Thuis is waar het hart is.

Do not rely on computer translators, certainly not one word at a time.
Those sentences would not be understood by people speaking the language.
My first translation is rather different from the English, that is because it is always used that way, never as a direct translation, that would not make sense at all. So I translated the meaning, not the words.

PS: Tetro is using a translator program, his translations are not Dutch, maybe they can be classed as Double Dutch.
