    Yeah, that sort of thing works a treat.
    You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

      I'll also probably have to translate through English...

        Holy ****! From German to French? As that happen to be my nonfluent translation choices, expect a couple funny mistakes. But I guess that's the idea.

            Well, it was kinda hard to make this list, so I didn't look at the fluent and non-fluent languages for all players...

            But there more mistakes, there higher the chance of something funny to come out of it

              I suggest that rather than have Bosh go from English to Spanish and I go from Spanish to English, Bosh ought to go from English to Korean, we run a mechanical translation from Korean to Chinese, and then I take it from Chinese to English.

                If Bosh it up to it, then why not... that's going to be interesting

                I'll send the text to him, and then it'll be up to him to chose?



                Here's the final list:

                English -->
                Bosh --> Spanish (or Korean) -->
                Smiley --> English -->
                Uncle Boris --> Latin -->
                Henrik --> Swedish -->
                Aivo½so --> German -->
                Maniac --> French -->
                Richelieu --> English -->
                Krill --> Latin -->
                Jonny --> French -->
                Lul Thyme --> English -->
                Gangerolf --> German -->
                snoopy369 --> French -->
                Lawrence of Arabia --> English

                    Sending the thing through Korean-Chinese internet translater would mangle it horrifically (the languages aren't grammatically similar AT ALL), so I'll just translate it into spanish.
