The 'Lost in Translation' official game

We can add another step at the end:

Boshko translates to English send to mindseye.
Mindseye translates to Chinese, sends to Urban Ranger
Urban Ranger translates to English, sends to Oncle Boris.

Hmmm... why not, while we're at it?

At the end, I hope you post a list of the translations, line by line, so we can witness the metamorphasis. We can paste graphics of the Chinese text.

Has anyone heard from Pave yet?

I just got the German translation, and have started now... it's going to take some time though, since it's a tough translation

[Adagio]

Translation finally sent...
Man that text just didn't make any sense at all. Lots of the words wasn't even to find in any dictionary, wasn't much to go by

[Buck Birdseed]

Never mind... I see I gave Gångerolf a mere five minutes to respond.

[Gangerolf]

I'm starting on it now...

things are starting to get fun already

[Adagio]

Yeah, I defently can't wait to see the original text, so I finally may be able to figure out what the text was about

[Gangerolf]

Sent!



It's difficult to see how this could make sense in any language!

[Buck Birdseed]

Sent.

As what arrived to me was a somewhat nonsensical mess I decided not to go down the route of direct translation. Instead I pulled the shreds together into something approaching a coherent text, while at the same time trying to retain what I thought might have been the meaning to begin with. Though I tried to keep the structure intact I have made significant changes to wording, sentence structure, etc. It's still not a text as I would have written it but at least it's not totally confusing now.

[Gangerolf]

I thought about doing the same thing, but I don't know, maybe it was supposed to be totally confusing?

[Buck Birdseed]

Doubt it. Most texts don't start with a connective for one, that first sentence took ages to make sense of.

[Gangerolf]

You actually made sense of that first sentence?
I didn't, except that I assumed it had to be a follow-up to a sentence that was left out for some reason.
