This looks interesting to say the least

I can't find a dictionary here so I think I'll just forget about trying to get that crazy German grammar 100%. Maybe 70%, we'll see.

Apologies for mangling your language

Had to do a lot of more or less qualified guesswork on what a lot of that Dutch stuff meant.

I had a Belgian girlfriend once. I also have some Dutch friends. So I can understand a decent amount, but I can't really speak much and I don't know anything about spelling and grammar and stuff like that except that you guys use a lot of double vowels.

Also, Dutch seems to me like it's 50% German, 20% English, 20% Scandinavian and 10% something else. That makes it somewhat easier for me, but again, seeing as my German isn't too good and there were some expressions in there I didn't really understand, a lot of guesswork was required.

Actually Gangerolf's translation had a kind of beauty, I haven't seen before. It's surely one of the greatest german poems ever written.

Even more interesting, my French obviously sucks even more than I thought so my translation of Gangerolf's poem is also more wild guessing than anything else

My french sucks even more, so I can't say. we have to wait for Flandrien's expertise!
Btw, Flandrien, you are the first to translate back to english again. If possible try to make it rhyme!

On a sidenote, I hope we can finish this before Monday, because I'll probably be off to hiking in the mountains until Tuesday or so.
