Unless it gets to me in the next hour or so, it will all be on pause until the 10th. Don't get your hopes up for finishing first, my team! :P

And now it is Spanish.

Whoa man it's coming fast.
Means I'll have work to do soon.
Being a weekend and all, I'll probably finish it quickly.

Well bah, I finished all but one phrase in the last sentance this morning before I headed off to work, had I seen this then I would've finished it all then and sent it off...

I can't make sense of this last sentance, even though I think I understand it correctly.

I think I mixed up the names of the teams, as right now Team Charm has the stranger text. :P

Tried to type "Team Charm", and somehow ended up with "the Carm"...

Yeah, the first sentence is straightforward, but the second one is... confusing. :? Even reading it 5 times doesn't improve it much.

Received the text (much sooner than anticipated!) I'll get started today and hopefully send it on tomorrow at the latest.

And I miss yet another one! This is getting ridiculous! :o :wink:

I think I need an e-butler that can let me know whenever one of these threads get started.

Know that when one is getting near the end, that another might show up soon after?

I could try to fit you in somewhere...

I should say that I got it when tatapyranga sent it, but random crap has been going on and I probably won't get to it until the day after tomorrow.

If it's too much of a hassle, you needn't bother. It's my fault I missed it, after all. But if you could, that would certainly be very nice of you. :D

Swedish, English, Spanish and Japanese is what I can do, probably in that order of fluency today.

And I found a spot:

Team Charm

Jetboy: English -> Latin (1st)
Aeetlrcreejl: Latin -> German (4th)
finlay: German -> English (7th)
Timmytiptoe: English -> Dutch (10th)
tsulaokiw: Dutch -> French (13th)
Nettuno: French -> Hebrew (16th)
Astraios: Hebrew -> Maltese (19th)
Simmalti: Maltese -> English (22nd)
Peacekeeper: English -> Spanish (25th)
Ulrike Meinhof: Spanish -> Swedish (28th)
Theta: Swedish -> English (31st)

Simmalti and Ulrike Meinhof, note the change in languages.

That's a welcome change! Finally some challenge, I've been doing French so many times now.

Thank you! :D

I just hope I have managed to get my computer shipped to Ireland by the 25th. Otherwise I'll just have to find another way to do it. My phone should probably do the trick... :wink:

You'll probably get it much before. Astraios will be back on the 10th, and since I'm leaving on the 12th (and assuming he sends it to me on time :P), I will probably get it done by the 11th.
