Rules:
1. if you are not translating from or into English, you must also provide an English translation so that the rest of us can keep up. PM this, and the translation into your language, to me; and PM your translation only directly to the next person in the chain. Under no circumstances should you post translations in this thread, and do not send your English translation to the next person in line unless your link is English. (also, try to keep spoilers minimal if you're posting about it in the thread.)
2. Post in here to say that you've finished your link. Keep up with the thread, as well, in case I change anything.
3. Stick to your deadline. Everyone has 3 days allotted to them, but in practice we tend to finish them off quicker than that, so if you've reached your deadline, you're probably taking far too long. If you haven't received the text by three days before your deadline, it's up to you to PM me and ask what the hell is going on.
4. Above all, have fun...

Also if someone wants to offer a text for translation, that'd be grand. However, note that if you do so, you'll be put first translating directly out of it – if you play at all.
Edit: (for new people putting their names on the list)
Remember, you can pick any natlang, old or modern, and you can also pick well-known conlangs as long as they have publicly available resources online (a Lojban, Klingon or Esperanto link would be cool).
Please put your list in the format
From: XXXX, YYYY, ZZZZ
To: XXXX, YYYY, ZZZZ (note that the important part is putting "From" above "To" so that I don't get confused and put them the wrong way round)
and italicise any that you're not as comfortable with and underline your native language.
This is the format I'm using for my own records so it just helps me to keep things clear. You can also describe more specifically any constraints you would have on using any of the languages. If you are capable in a language but don't want to translate to or from it (particularly if you don't want to translate to or from English), don't put it in your list.
I'll give you a maximum of a week, but probably more like 4 days, depending on how many people are putting their names on the list.
