OK, cool. For each language, we obviously need two persons, We still lack the numbers to make it fun, though.

More candidates!

Don't you mean YOUR nonsense about facism. Molly cut you down to size last time I remember, and no historian considers facism in general to be anti-semetic.

Sounds like fun. I hope you come up with a long, intricate sentence.

I'm pretty much fluent in Norwegian and German, and I think I can handle Danish and Swedish too.

Imran, the thread was 'what if 9/11 hadn't happened'. It's dug far away, though.

And I was drunk when I wrote the answer (Friday night) but I checked its content the morning after and it looked fine.

I can do French to English and back very well.
I think its good if people can do it well.
If the chain is long enough, say 5 or 6 at least, the meaning will get twisted, even if the translation is "perfect" as it will be out of context.

OK, I've done my best and here is the chain.

I will take an English paragraph and send it to Pave.

Pave will translate it to German and send it to ADG

ADG will translate it to Danish and send it to Gangerolf

Gangerolf will translate it to Norwegian and send it to Buck Birdseed.

Buck Birdseed will translate it to English (sorry) and send it to Vovan.

Vovan will translate it to Russian and send it to Azazel.

Azazel will translate it to Hebrew and send it to Lord of the Mark

Lord of the Mark will translate it to English and send it to LulThyme

LulThyme will translate it to French and send it to Oncle Boris.

*Oncle Boris* will send the French version (without looking at it because he speaks French and wants to nurture the suspense) to a personal friend who will translate it to Spanish. Then he will send the Spanish text to Boshko.

Boshko will translate it back to English and send the final result to Oncle Boris.

I'm not terribly good at logical reasoning, so you might take a look at my list to see if you couldn't do better than my

Urban Ranger: Chinese
Vovan: Russian
Pave: Finnish, German
Boshko: Korean, Spanish
ADG: German, Danish
Buck Birdseed: Swedish, Hungarian (*Norwegian and Danish possible*)
Monk: Danish
jdd2007: Spanish, Latin
Gangerolf: Norwegian, German (*Danish and Swedish posible*)
Azazel: Hebrew, Russian
Tamerlin: French
LulThyme: French
Lord of the Mark: Hebrew (maybe with some help from relatives or friends?)

The rules

No one shall ever get hold of the work in progress more than once.

You send your translation ONLY, without any hint, by PM, along with the full lsit of persons (pasted from my post above) to avoid any confusion.

When you've done your work and sent it to the next person in the serie, please bump this thread.

I'm sending the original sentence to Pave soon.

Have fun!

French, English and German.

I strongly advise you to give to a non-Spanish non-Italian speaking Frenchman the task of translating a Spanish or Italian version. The results could be interesting

Yeah, I had a feeling I could have put your German at use somewhere in the chain, but you had not posted, so I decided not to assume anything about your willingness to play. Next time, maybe.
