        • Yes.

          I know I mangled it badly, particulary in the verb conjugations, so I hope Az does not take the meanings literally...

                        • Okay, guys, some midgame changes. Az if you haven't gone too far with your translation already, I'd like you to find a global meaning and put the more and more independent sentences into a common context again. It doesn't need to rhyme, but at least there should be a meaning again. Don't bother too much with direct translations of the words.
                          I understand that this is harder to do, but we come to a point where the words and the structure of the sentences are quite easy and lack the finess of a certain language which brings in the kind of distortion we'd seek.

                          This holds for all that are to translate the text from now on to a language they speak fluently or native. If you speak it badly, ofc I cannot demand that you add a meaning or linguistical subtlety.

                          The list here:
                          Final list:
                          Bosh: English -> Spanish
                          Chilean Presidentâ„¢: Spanish -> French
                          Cybershy: French -> Dutch
                          Gangerolf: Dutch -> German
                          Wernazuma III: German -> French
                          Flandrien: French -> English
                          Krill: English -> French
                          Az: French -> Russian
                          Pave: Russian -> Swedish
                          Winston: Swedish -> German
                          Adagio: German -> Danish
                          Aivo½so: Danish -> Finnish
                          Kassiopeia: Finnish -> English
                          Karoch: English -> Spanish
                          Spiffor: Spanish -> French
