Yes.

I know I mangled it badly, particulary in the verb conjugations, so I hope Az does not take the meanings literally...

Okay, guys, some midgame changes. Az if you haven't gone too far with your translation already, I'd like you to find a global meaning and put the more and more independent sentences into a common context again. It doesn't need to rhyme, but at least there should be a meaning again. Don't bother too much with direct translations of the words.
I understand that this is harder to do, but we come to a point where the words and the structure of the sentences are quite easy and lack the finess of a certain language which brings in the kind of distortion we'd seek.

This holds for all that are to translate the text from now on to a language they speak fluently or native. If you speak it badly, ofc I cannot demand that you add a meaning or linguistical subtlety.

The list here:
Final list:
Bosh: English -> Spanish
Chilean President™: Spanish -> French
Cybershy: French -> Dutch
Gangerolf: Dutch -> German
Wernazuma III: German -> French
Flandrien: French -> English
Krill: English -> French
Az: French -> Russian
Pave: Russian -> Swedish
Winston: Swedish -> German
Adagio: German -> Danish
Aivo½so: Danish -> Finnish
Kassiopeia: Finnish -> English
Karoch: English -> Spanish
Spiffor: Spanish -> French
Lord of the Mark: French -> English

I'm so eager to see the results already! Until Krill, I can more or less follow the process of translation, then there's a bunch of weird languages.

Adagio's up!

I can't wait to see the final result of this, and hopefully get some idea of how it's been butchered up along the way.

I like the 2nd poem best BTW. I can sense it used to be beautiful - about eight translations ago..

I'm already working on a nice analysis of each and every translation so we can easily see how the poems have changed. At least in those languages that I understand.

I think it's already a good laugh up until Flandrien does the French -> English.
