Broken Translation Game 10

[Nukalurk]

I'm reeeeally sorry for the long delay! Last time I participated I did it immediately after receiving it but this week was just bad.

I finally sent it now.

[linguaholic]

Phew, that wasn't as hard as I had imagined. And it didn't look too messed up to me either. Maybe it just turned into another sensible story. ^^

Done and sent to ILuvEire. Poor him, he has to deal with my Esperanto in two games right now.

[Monsieur-Kiwi]

*Taps finger on the table impatiently*

[ILuvEire]

Here you go! I was surprised, I thought that the text would be really hard.

Jen! Mi suprizis, mi pensis ke la teksto estus tre malfacila.

I'll post the translations by teams first.

Тады Сміт паспрабавала сказаць па-французску:
- Алісан Тэймер кінула запаленую цыгарэту ў кошык, які раптам загарэўся, і зараз там вялікі пажар, які пашыраецца па ўсіх прыбіральнях!

"Στα γαλλικά!" - είπε η Μάρυ Σμιθ, που ήταν έκτος από την εαυτό της και χειρονομούσα με οργή.

Τοτέ, προσπάθησε η Σμιθ να πει στα γαλλικά:
- Η 'Αλισαν Τέϋμερ έριξε ενα φλογισμένο τσιγάρο στο καλάθι, που ξαφνικά φλόγησε και τώρα υπάρχει'κεί μία μεγάλη φωτιά, που εξαπλώνει στις όλες τις τουαλέτες!

„Folosește franceză!“ Maria Smith gesticulă cu mâinile până vorbește cu nervi.

După aceia, Smith încercă să zică pe franceză: „Allison Tămar a aruncat un trabuc aprins în coș, coșul imediat a luat foc, și acum este un foc mare și s-a întins la toate veceuri!“

Din păcate, cuvântul ăla ’a arunca’ pentru ea s-a schimbat în criză.

Etter dette, Smith prøver å snakke på fransk: "Allison Tamar kastet en brennende sigar i søppelkurven, søppelkurven straks tok fyr, og nå er det en stor brann og den har spredt seg til alle toalettene!"

Dessverre, det ordet "å kaste" har forandret seg for henne under krisen.

Danach hat MacGowan versucht, auf Französisch zu sprechen: >>Alice Tamar hat eine beleuchtete Zigarette in den Schrank eingeworfen, sie hat den Schrank in Brand gesetzt, und jede toilette wird jetzt eingeäschert!<<

@Team 2: wtf...

[Eoghan]

@Team 2: wtf...

I love the fact that DelBoy stayed at Iain MacGowan, and didn't went all the way (John Smith) I guess I messed up big time, or well, we all did, although or translations aren't that bad

[loqu]

omg I can't read this at work, this is funny

[jaybee]

lol.. I like team 2's translation!
so, a school turned to a university twice, an imaginary friend called francis, and toilets in the closet. what else?

[Monsieur-Kiwi]

This was totally worth the wait! Gosh I can't believe team 2's final translation. Hahaha, I may need some time to get over this.

[ILuvEire]

Team two definitely had the best translation.

[Hoogstwaarschijnlijk]

All those names

I just took the same name as I got, but it reminded me so much of Jan Smit, a famous Dutch singer...

[voron]

We (Team 2) have messed it up quite a bit. But at least we have kept the idea behind the final sentence.

My own mistakes (Italian - Belarusian): I interpreted "nel bagno delle signore al secondo piano" (in the ladies' bathroom of the second floor") as "in the bathroom of the ladies of the second floor" (minor, but makes difference). But as I can see it attained its original meaning later.

Then, the mistake that the fire spreaded around multiple bathrooms (instead of just one), but I already got it this way in Italian as far as I understand ("si sta estendendo tutt'intorno ai bagni").

And, the ninth grade turned third?! Mon-kiwi, did you attempt a cultural conversion? I thought I could do it with the floor counting system... but I didn't bother to remember how they do the count in Italy.

EDIT: Omg and there's a more fatal mistake... In the sentence "-In francese! ha detto Marie alla Smith" (In french! Mary told Smith) Belarusian relies on cases to differentiate between the teller and the listener, but the name Smith does not decline, so my translation looked like "told Mary Smith". It sounds clumsy but I hoped Oleksij would be able to get the meaning right out of context... but I guess he didn't, and it propagated along and made all the mess.

EDIT2: Haha I used the word "кошык" (košik) for "cestino" (basket), and after getting transmogrified through Greek and Mandarin, it reappeared in Romanian as "coș" (koš), apparently the same word. Neat.

[DelBoy]

@Team 2: wtf...

I love the fact that DelBoy stayed at Iain MacGowan, and didn't went all the way (John Smith) I guess I messed up big time, or well, we all did, although or translations aren't that bad

Ok, I can see the Iain -> John...... but MacGowan as Smith??

[loqu]

Our translation (team 1) is freaking cool. Not only we have shortened the story incredibly we also invented a new friend called Francis and took the blame off Alyson Tanner, who became only a gossip listener this is awesome.

But nevertheless the funniest one has been the one by team 2.

[Trapy]

and now every toilet will burn to ashes!"

THIS IS SIG WORTHY! TEAM 2 IS MY HERO!
