For the new people who've never participated, this game is similar to the Broken Telephone game, but with texts.
Person A translates the original English text into Language 1
Person B translates Language 1 into Language 2
...
Person X translates Language n back into English (and this is the resulting text)
Rules
- Once you receive the text, you will have 5 days to complete the translation into the designated target language.
- You may not use online/automated translators like Google Translate or BabelFish.
- The translation must be completed by yourself
- Failure to complete the translation within the time-frame without explanation will result in expulsion from the game.
- When you complete a translation, you need to forward the correct language version to the next person in the chain.
- Please also send a carbon-copy (CC) to me when you send it. This is important.
- You must not discuss the text with anyone else in the chain/game until the game has finished.
- Once the game has entirely finished, the results will be posted
So, if you want to participate, just reply to this thread and mention the language pairs you're willing to translate to/from. For instance:
English -> Spanish
English -> Japanese
English -> Arabic
Spanish -> English
German -> Spanish
It won't be a long text, nothing more than a small paragraph.
CHAIN
English -> Turkish (Elaine) -> Belarusian (voron) -> Spanish (Irusia) -> Italian (Ipsedixit) -> Mandarin Chinese (vijayjohn) -> Portuguese (Covered) -> French (dEhiN) -> Dutch (Aurinĭa)> German (Car) -> Irish (kevin) -> English (księżycowy)
