Playing with otter.

Yiuel 's translation into Spanish has some weird constructions like "estoy teniendo". Estoy teniendo is a possible construction in Spanish, but not here. (That * porque mi también estoy teniendo... should be porque todavía tengo... ) So it wouldn't be possible to say things like estoy teniendo much...

And the results are now up: Main Page Details Page Hilarious end results. Looking at my team first: Yiuel 's translation into Spanish has some weird constructions like "estoy teniendo". He also puts "No me trago" - I dunno if that's an idiom, but it became "I don't bring my own" when it got to me. ...

I shall post for you an article, here , which states we shall no longer make use of the verb "shall" in legal writing. I'm curious to know your opinion on this? Should we stop using shall in legal writing? Myself, I think this is stupid. First, how can you get rid of shall and not should? That's ju...

Yay! it moves!

Meanwhile Qwynegold disappeared, he hasn't even read the message yet (it is in my Outbox).

Huh, can't see the imageshack images.
I can only see this:

I don't know what happened to Qwynegold, but it's been 2 days and he hasn't read my message yet.
EDIT: err I mean 2 not 3 days.

I'm really sorry, but between work all day and social events, I didn't have much time. I will finish it this afternoon, though, since I shall have plenty of time.

EDIT: abgeschlossen and lähettänyt
(whew that was way more work than I thought)

Got it. Done first part, which is understanding and (kind of) deciphering the text.
Now time to turn it into bad Finnish... (It will take some time).

Hmm I had been hoping to get the text from Chibi this week. If I receive it in the weekend, there will be some delay...

Nothing generic happens to /s/ in "non-onset positions". Regional accents either keep it as /s/, or it becomes /S/ (in Portugal, in Rio and some northeastern regions), or /js/ or /jS/ or it becomes /C/ or /h/ (in some northeastern/amazonian regions, or sometimes even in Rio). But it doesn't get full...

Noyce.

I hope the text is not too absurdly mangled when coming to me.

ok, I can do:

from:
English
any rom.. er, I mean, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan or French
Finnish, Russian or German

to:
English, Portuguese, Spanish, Finnish

Very cool. Thanks, Legion.
I will do exercises later perhaps.

(Twenty hours later...)

I have sent the last translation to Renaçido. EQUIPO A is done.

Received. I shall produce a version some time tomorrow, but not today.

You should be a bit more careful with specifying varieties— the Chinese you cite is presumably Mandarin, but I don't know if you're doing Brazilian or European Portuguese. It'd also be better to say Southern Quechua. Brazilian Portuguese fits more T7 (or possibly an 8-vowel variant of it where 'a' ...

HAHAHAHA I've laughed so hard at my own mistakes. Seriously... Okay guys, following recent comments, I moved people around and got the following: ... tatapyranga – German → English ... tatapyranga – Romanian → Portuguese Oh noes why did I say any Romance language? I thought you were perfectly aware...

It's not more difficult than any other Romance language. It's just incomprehensible to people who can otherwise translate out of Romance languages fine. Agreed. I have translated from Romanian before, in another PT. It doesn't have so much recognizable cognates as other Romance languages (and/or it...

Oh noes why did I say any Romance language?

I can do:

English to Portuguese
English to Spanish
English to Finnish
any romance to English
Finnish to English
Russian to English
German to English

Aw, I missed it this time. And it went quickly (at least in one team).
Nevermind, I shall participate in XII when it happens.

(Btw first post ever in the new board, yay).
