Come on, I would expect a little more self-confidence from a linguistic wildcard.

Re: Broken Translation Game 2018
Don't you ever want to do something other than Irish to English in this game? 
How about you do Irish to German, then send it to kevin, and then he can translate it into English?

Re: Broken Translation Game 2018
If we want a strong Irish link, I can provide it. I can translate into English, German, Spanish, Catalan, French, Dutch, or Swedish (in descending order of competency). I can translate out of more languages than that.

Would you rather translate from or into Irish?

Re: Broken Translation Game 2018
Given that we'll have the finest Munster Irish then, księżycowy should translate from Irish.

Re: Broken Translation Game 2018
Didn't you want to use other languages for FUBAR? I think you did pretty well with Irish last time, so it shouldn't be one of your FUBAR languages.
Not sure what I would do then, but maybe Vijay and I can just do a second pass through Irish.

Vijay, would you like to translate into Catalan?

Re: Broken Translation Game 2018
Sure, if that's okay with whoever's translating from Catalan! (Linguoboy? I just hope I don't butcher Catalan too badly for it to be decipherable, at least 
).

What about Catalan > Irish?

Honestly, I'm more interested in the FUBAR game at this point than the BTG.
