Lost in Translation IV

[Krill]

Yeah, that sort of thing works a treat.

[Jonny]

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

[Maniac]

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.

[Bosh]

Hmmm, I always seem to be near the beginning of these things...

Hmmm... then we would need another one who can translate from your english to french... if we can find such player within a few days

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

[:) Smiley]

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.

[Adagio]

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

[Adagio]

The poem has been sent to Bosh



Thx to molly bloom for finding the poem

[Bosh]

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.

Recieved from Bosh, mangled equally horiffically with my Jr. High level Spanish, sent to Boris.

And aren't you glad I didn't use the version in Welsh ?

Best of luck, chaps and chapesses.

[Adagio]

There's a...ehmmm... Welish (?) version of it too

[Adagio]

Uncle Boris? Have you recieved the poem? It's been a few days since I recieved and english translation from Smiley

[Adagio]

I just recieved a pm from Uncle Boris, saying he has sent the Latin translation to Henrik

[Henrik]

Yup, just got it
Will pass it along sometime tomorrow
