I'm sure Neqitan has helped quite a bit as well. :mrgreen: There were only a few sentences grammatically correct, not even counting their sense. :notme:

Bin der wis fan dat Neqitan der ek oan meiholpen hat. :mrgreen: Der wiene mar in lyts protsje sinnen grammatikaal krekt, har betsjutting net ienris meiteld. :notme:

Haha, it was fun to read in Neqitan`s translation how close he was to some words and names xD Too bad... and yours was even funnier! I recognize something, but the names somehow blended into the meaning of some of the sentences, so it turned out funny :P

What's wrong with just continuing this one? People have put time into it and I really don't think starting it over would make it any faster.

This has got to be the longest game ever. :P

I will get it done not long, but it is strange. There is a random word he says out of the blue which has nothing to do with the sentence....

I just noticed a potential roadblock. Will Twinkle be able to do this? She hasn't been back since she signed up for this game...

Oh crap, that's what happens when we let people with only two posts enter the game. :shock:

But I know what we could do!!!
Let loqu translate it from French to German instead of Spanish, and Sjheiss can do the German -> Norwegian hereafter! :D No blockholes roadblocks ( :lol: )!

The chain:
English (Aleco) ~ German (Trapy) ~ Esperanto (linguaholic) ~ Italian (Neqitan) ~ English (Dminor) ~ Irish (Supreemio) ~ English (Eoghan) ~ French (bryonj2255) ~ German (loqu) ~ Norwegian (sjheiss) ~ Mandarin (Danial) ~ French (Neqitan) ~ Romanian (AndreiB) ~ English (Balaur)

In the hands of: Supreemio (6/15)
Had the text since: 3rd of April

GREAT, I LOVE GERMAN !!!!!!

But now Twinkle won't be able to hear my native Andalusian dialect (which must have been hard for him/her anyway). :lol:

So I currently have the translation and my computer is playing tricks on me and I've four huge home exams to finish until Monday, but I'll pass on a translation into French at the latest on Tuesday next week.

Albeit the Scot in me is of the Western stock and the red of the Cairngorms, the heather and the Lewissian gneiss, the Viking in me was there when you uttered the first word of your leid.
