Hello Maybe you could help me within translating this sentence. It is for a good friend of mine, who comes from Poland and i want this sentence to be in a medal for his birthday. But i cant speak any word of polish and i dont want to translate it grammatically incorrect. Here comes the sentence :) "Turn pain into progression" Thank you for this

Lashyz, What is your first language? In English, there's an expression "No pain, no gain!" I never knew the Polish version, but in German, we say "Ohne Fleiss, keinen Preis!" Your phrase sounds a bit like a translation, so I only wanted to know-:)))

Lyzko: In English, there's an expression "No pain, no gain!" I never knew the Polish version "Bez pracy nie ma kołaczy" - now you do :)

ShortHairThug: "Bez pracy nie ma kołaczy" That's a good one

Many thanks for your input, folks! Each version reflects the culture in whose language it was conceived: English emphasizes pain = result, German diligence/industry= effect, Polish stresses work = 'kołacz' (??)

Thank each of you very much, for your suggests. I think "Bez bólu nie ma efektów" is the translation which fits the most
