	'Lost in Translation' 2 Inflate your Upload Space

Time to sign up for a second (and hopefully: more organized) game


The objective of the game:
I send an english text to the first player, who translates in to some language, then he/she sends it to the next player, who translates it, and so on... In the end, we should have a english text again

When you sign up for this game, you agree to:
- Keep track on THIS thread
- Keep an eye open for your pm-inbox
- Translate your part ASAP

When you send your translation to the next player, you have to send a copy to me (in case something happens)


When you sign up, you shall post what languages you can translate to, and what languages you can translate from...

English and French I can write with 100% certainty. I can understand German without problems, but should I write Germans, some things risk to be lost in translation

I don't know when this game is starting, but I guess you should know that I'll most likely be offline from the 27th to the 4th. (Going to the Czech Rep )

I also know someone how would surely translate something for me from english to russian or vice versa. We have regular email contact.

I can read French, and translate it into any of the above.

With Gangerolf being constantly drunk for a week, there's less competition for those precious Scandinavian slots.

I would be playing, unfortunately I can only do French and English.

BTW, the first game is back on track. We should have the results soon. Don't despair yet.

OK... a little precision here.

The execution of the first game was not stellar... but would you at least wait until it's finished before getting this one going?

I agree that some things need to be done to improve the game. But for now, it seems like we'll have the final results of the first game in just a few days.

Don't worry... I'll wait a bit before this one starts... not too long though

I'll update the player list later...

And don't worry about the text... I'll make it easy (easier than last game)

Azazel: Hebrew Russian English, and I can probably translate FROM french.

Swedish, Hungarian, and I'd give translating from Danish, Norwegian and French a go.

Monk, true. It's a dangerous place in that regard, it's like I can't afford NOT to drink there.
And those slots seem to be precious indeed... But so far I'm the only one who can translate into Norwegian. I bet I could do Danish too. I mean, all I have to do is write Norwegian but replace the letters p/t/k with b/d/g and remember to use "sgu" in every sentance.

You can also count Latin for me. However, we would need a sentence with no modern words whatsoever.

Count me in for Dutch-English and English-Dutch translations.

And some ancient Egyptian but that would require people to install some weird fonts so I guess that one is out

¿Hola, que tal?

No soy muy bien hablar español. Aprendo para siete meses. No sé mucho vocabulario y ahora busco casi palabra en el dictionario. Puedo entender mi profesora pero creo sólo porque hace gestos.

Well, I guess you can sign me up for Croatian->English and English->Croatian.

I could also probably do Serbian and Bosnian both ways, and only read from Slovenian
