It would likely be a good idea to explicitly state how to go about it. I, for one, would like to throw in with the team though my participation would likely be limited to commentary/analysis rather than actual drafting. Lindil, I'll send you my e-mail (I'm having difficulties with my "Private Mail").

I had actually d a FAQ in the intro to the forum/project thread, it was killed by an 'illegal html' bug - so I hope to replace it tonight.

Re: How to join the "members only" Translations te

I'm certainly very interested in having a look at what the project is producing, though like Mith, I have precious little time to contribute any actual drafting (not to mention that I'm woefully underqualified, scholarship-wise). I'll put in for the sort of reader/analyst job Mith applied for, though, if you're giving those out.

P.S., my private message is working just fine as far as I know.

Excellent Mr. Underhill,

Please keep in mind that the discussions will take place here at the 'old forum' polls i.e. decisions and the placement and editing of texts at the Translations from the elvish forum.

To those who are temporaly challanged, such as myself , please kep in mind that not every thread in the old forum is essential or even directly relevant [not to say unimportant !] to the Project.
Keep an eye on thePrinciples, FoG and Intro threads though in addition to any calls for votes or decisions at the Translations from the Elvish forum.

MITHADAN - did you receive my email - sent just prior to this post?


again welcome back aboard M, and congrats on your removing your ring MR. U !

Depending on the elvish, i am somewhat qualified to translate Cwenya(Quenya) and any writing based in that form.* Sindarin i can translate a little, but not enough to be of any help.

*Note: I say writing because, basically, Cwenya was a language that was used more for writing than for speaking.

welcome Lhundael,

Jallanite and Aiwendil are the primary linguists here and their work is mostly to be found in the Fall of Gondolin: a project thread.
There are a few points still being worked on [in the FoG] , a final version of the 7 names of the City, a final decision on Legolas Greenleaf [Cian offered some plausible substitutions , but not all are in favor of the changes] and of course any miraculous insight you may have w/ Rog. I may be missing some points but a review of the Intro, FoG, Mechanical Monsters and the bye bye balrogs threads should bring you mostly current.

also as a note to all - The ideal place for signing on is the intro thread. this is a spur discussion that will sooner or later be closed, I imagine.

I've been observing for a while now, but don't really have much to add to most discussions. I am also woefully underqualified to contribute much. So far all of the posts have been very interesting.

Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.

I can help with either Sindarin or Quenya, though I am better with Sindarin, but I'm learning fast. You can also give me a proof-reading job if need be. I don't care, I just want to help. Also, please send me a PM rather than an e-mail, because my e-mail is being retarded in the extreme. Thanx!
