Translations!
« on: December 07, 2009, 01:06:40 pm »
Some while ago, I had one of those funny "Hey, you are from [country]! Can you translate [words]?" conversations on the Bay12 TeamFortress 2 server.
That brought me to the following idea:
Let's have a translation topic! (I hope this is ok)

If someone wants to have something translated from/to a specific language, you can ask here, to get answers by native speakers!
For example, I could answer if someone wants a translation from/to german. :)

PS:Please, no "Make my homework!". One or two passages from it, if you are really not sure about something, but not everything.

I'd be interested in seeing translations of the word "Dagger" in the languages of the forum. I'll fill in the ones I know:

Dagger:
English: "Dagger"
Dwarfish: "Urist"
Elvish: "Acita"
Goblin: "Ulspa"
Human: "Olith"
Kobold: (Varies)
