Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 11:8:

• Kupsabiny: “(You) should say thank you every year that you are alive. Even so, know that a death of many years is waiting for you. Everything that you wait for is futile.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “No matter how many years a man lives,
  he should still rejoice in all of them.
  But he should remember the work done in darkness,
  because there will be much more of it.
  Everything that is about to happen now is also meaningless.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Even-though how long is your (sing.) life, you (sing.) rejoice with your (sing.) whole life. You (sing.) remember that death will-come and it will-last-long. Everything that will-happen in the future has no value.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
