That's it.

burra, thanks for the reminder. As Barley used to say, "one thing drives out another..."

the next one is easy (I s'ppose)

I'll get on this and the other when I wake up.

Desperately giving a thead kind of kiss of life

so, anyone?

I probably shouldn't answer this since I'm not bilingual and won't be able to come up with a question of my own, but I do know the answer to it and its been up for more than year...
-Frodo to Gollum on the pass of Cirith Ungol.

Back to life, than :)

Yes, that is correct answer. Take it away!

It's been over a year since I finished French II barely with a B-, so you'll have to bear with me.

For you Canadians and French out there... sorry if I butchered it too badly.:)

That's Eomer, in astonishement upon sighting of Shadowfax

Reminder of the rules, BTW:

This quote game implies that participants translate some quotes into some foreign languages, and than tranlslate it back to English. The actual quote-question is thus in English, just rendered unrecognizable by double (it may be triple, or quadruple or more) cross-translations.

To give you an example:

English: Were the breath of the West Wind to take a body visible, even so would it apper

Russian: Esli bi dikhanie Zapadnogo Vetra imelo bi vidimoe telo, ono bi vigladelo tak

French: Si la respiration du Vent d'ouest aurait le corps visible, il aurait l'air ainsi

English (actual quote to be guessed out): If the breathing of the west Wind would have the visible body, it would seem thus

Not very unrecognizable, but different, see? The actual foreign quotes belong in Quotes in Other Languages thread

cheers :)

Ah, right... sorry. You are correct though!

Revitalizing a thread long thought dead...
 

Alright, due to TGWBS's thread Lost in Translation this thread is being brought to life again so that we can move our game of guessing the original text (or barrowdowner's name) from the horrible unsensical translation out of his thread...

The translation sites being used are here and here though the second one has more languages and therefore less sensical translations...

I'll get us started with the lovely translated:
(oh yeah, bonus points if anyone can figure out The Saucepan Man's "Potassio")

Just to add some more variety to the questions, the Babel Fish site allows a variety of translations.

Carry on ...

I'll wager a guess
 

And Potassio is the Ka.

You're maybe three words off Alcarillo...however being kind and benevolent (well, kinda) I figure you can have the thread...

Enjoy!

*Pokes Alcarillo in the back of the head* Anybody Home?

Ok well it's been 10 days and obviously my poke in the back of the head to alcarillo didn't work, sooo I'll take up the thread. Here it is:

EsIST is evaluated with this value! Until daresay he. With

Have at it.
