Who says it's a rhyming poem to begin with? I think making the different versions rhyme is way down the list of secondary priorities here.

As the rules say: Dictionaries are allowed. However you should stick to a book and not use the computer for translation. Online translations are not what we'd want.

If you have no dictionary book, okay, you can use one of the online dictionaries (like wordreference.com) or something like that...
You should use your imagination, knowledge and a book if you have. You know, the typical classroom situation that the teacher brings up: you are sitting in the desert,....

OTOH verb conjugation is okay with me if you do online. There's a good online conjugator here: http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/index.asp (it can do almost all languages). But well, better just stay with that...

It seems Ata is looking to make the experience as messy as possible

Only a few people translate to or from their native languages. Ata prefered the "for fun" languages when possible

The game starts, the text was just sent to Bosh!

REMEMBER: After translating, send it to the next and send me a copy. Don't forget posting here that you sent it on. Under NO circumstances use online translation, rather use your imagination.

I sent two short poems, the same number of lines must be kept, do not add or remove them.
Both poems rhyme, so if you are translating TO english (Flandrien, Kassiopeia, LOTM), please make it rhyme again if possible. Apart from that, if you can make it rhyme if you don't, it doesn't matter.

Creating the graph is quite a time consuming thing, especially if you want to pass it through everyone. Stay tuned for the future, depending on the outcome we may organize more such games.

Got spare money?

Bosh has completed translation, unfortunately he couldn't send it to Chilean President (because he has a (tm) after his name), so I passed it on.

Aivo1/2so: How do you write the 1/2 so that it's just one character? Then I will correct the list, so that everyone just needs to copy and paste.

I wanted LOTM to translate from french
Hebrew would have definately been nice to have, but it was just you and LOTM and you're the only one with good russian as well.
