I miss these.
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke
What kind of cookie?

Into: Vietnamese, Navajo, Danish, Korean, Italian
From: Vietnamese, Danish

I'd really like to try translating into Lakota but I'd probably wreck it since I'm not very good in the language yet.

I think I'll volunteer if it's not a huge text.

To: English, Standard Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Palestinian Arabic

From: English, Standard Arabic, (Egyptian Arabic, Palestinian Arabic)*

* I mostly don't have trouble with Egyptian Arabic and Palestinian Arabic, but I've learned that it can really be a bitch trying to find out what something means if you don't know.

I'd definitely be willing to give translating from Ojibwe a shot. I'm willing to go into either English or Spanish, too.

Alright, I've already started doing the chains. If anybody else wants to join, you better sign up soon.

@Theta: I'm afraid that unless somebody who can translate into Vietnamese or Navajo signs up, I'll force you to translate from English.

BTW, the Conlang Relay is also going to run.

From a native's Finnish to a not-too-certain-on-Classic-guy's Classic? What could possibly go wrong?

I think Team Charm is one of the first chains I've ever seen in a PGT where there are no intermediary English steps. Kudos.

My post about Classical Japanese wasn't, if that's the one you're referring to. I actually forgot I posted it XD
Wait, I didn't stall all of you now, have I?... :oops:
