Quiet Riots... the name seems contradictory to me, cause a riot usually implies violance...
In French, it would opt for "Émeutes pacifiques".

Thank you for your reply. We want people to stop and think with this name - so we chose it to be contradictory on purpose. Thanks for your help: sounds beautiful!

Automatic translators are worthless and so is the Swedish translation. You want the plural form, dont you? I would say Fredliga kravaller. ("Fredliga upplopp" sound a bit strange in my Swedish ears.)
What are you and your friend selling by this slogan in different languages? |

Yup I figured they would be worthless which is why I tried this forum. Great response so far.
We have an idea about a website where you could go and be angry and have a 'riot' about anything - whether airline extra charges, ridiculous bureaucracy, crazy long lines at your supermarket, anything! Fun things too - some people have issues with cats, others dogs, and others spiders! Thank you for your time! Erlend |
