My graduation is Sunday so even if I get it on Saturday, I probably won't have time until at least Tuesday. So no hurry, Risla.

A chance for Team World Tour to catch up then! Go team, go!

Sent the German text. I'll do the English one tomorrow. Time to sleep in the meantime.

Risla · Post by **Risla** » Mon May 16, 2011 10:56 pm

I'm aware I've run against my deadline. I'll have it sent by morning, I swear.

Risla · Post by **Risla** » Tue May 17, 2011 12:59 am

Sent. I'll shoot an English translation at Lyhoko tomorrow.

I know you've got 8 more days, but how's it coming Aeetlrcreejl?

I'm sorry - I've been a bit busy with schoolwork; also, some of these clauses are really weird.

Peacekeeper · Post by **Peacekeeper** » Mon May 23, 2011 10:06 am

Those clauses were weird enough when I got the text. I can only imagine what they might look like now.

Two days left!

Fix'd.

And there's really no excuse for not finishing on time. If you sit down and take one hour of your 15 waking hours of your time you can finish it and pass it along in a day. It's not like one can't spare an hour!

Last time I was in a Polyglottal Telephone I signed up for spot ~17 of 25. Two weeks later half my staff quit at work and my weekly workload went from ~50hrs/week to 85hrs/week. And I was in college at the time. The Telephone didn't get to me until 3 weeks after that. I was a week late.

Shit Happens.

Fuck you. Get a real job and work a few thirteen-hour shifts and then try translating something.

The "organization" is pretty much just dump into a page on the wiki for me, it's almost ready as it is, I just need the completed translation to float in...

And it would be nice if Dewrad, Risla and Åge Kruger would provide their English translations that they forgot, though those aren't as important...

Haha finally! I was comparing my translation with tresko's, and I actually didn't do too bad except for the first paragraph and turning "new expensive hairdo" into "hairstyle of the nouveau riche" haha...I was struggling so much to translate "亂穿" into German (the way I learned it, 亂 means you recklessly do something, and 穿 means to wear, so uh...). I think I just parsed it wrong, and same with "新貴髮型" (which I parsed as 新貴髮型, rather than 新貴髮型)

Ulrike Meinhof · Post by **Ulrike Meinhof** » Sun May 29, 2011 5:19 am

It's a shame the English translations are missing for some parts. I'm wondering what this Old Spanish means: "non te treves me mosar las barbas". That ended up as "je ne t'empêche pas de me mouiller le pépin" in my French translation, going through Old Occitan. "Mosar las barbas" has to be some sort of idiomatic expression, I suppose?

Oh damn I got 'perruque' confused with 'perroquet' and 'perruche' when doing the English later.

Legion · Post by **Legion** » Sun May 29, 2011 8:19 am

Ah so there was a wig; I decided against it because at that point it didn't make sense anymore.

The results are amusing. BTW, was I supposed to supply a romanization along with my Hebrew translation?

I didn't forget. I didn't need to make one to translate, so I didn't make one. There is no English translation. Yet.

jmcd · Post by **jmcd** » Sun May 29, 2011 9:31 am

Yeah, I didn't need one either; I didn't write my English translation til like a week later.

Legion · Post by **Legion** » Sun May 29, 2011 9:48 am

It's not a matter of needing one, you had to make one, that was part of the rules.
