The game is: One person put a sentence in a language. The next post, must translate the sentence to English, but the person should not use dictionaries or translator.
Then the person should write another sentence, in other language to the next person translate. I dont know if it will work, but let's try. Portuguese: Essa é a primeira sentença do jogo, quem conseguir entender deve traduzi-la para o inglês e escrever uma frase em alguma língua que conheça e assim vai.

My attempt:
This is the first sentence of the game, whoever can manage to understand it should translate it to English and write a sentence in some language that they know and like that it goes. Spanish: Quisiera saber una cosa antes de continuar: quieres que sólo la gente que habla el idioma de la frase original participe o que adivinemos la significación de las frases escritas en lenguas que no sabemos? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Translation: I would like to know one thing before continuing: do you want only people who know the language of the original sentence to participate or do you want us to guess the meaning of sentences written in languages we don't know?
French: Je pense que le jeu sera plus intéressant si on essaie à deviner la signification des phrases en langues qu'on ne parle pas mais qu'on peut comprendre un peu. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, i dont speak french but i will try to translate the meaning.
I think that the game will be more interesting if we try to guess the meaning of sentences in languages that we not speak, but that we can understand a little. Wow.. i dont used translator!! haha Italiano: Si Levi, possiamo fare de questo modo, e dopo, qualcuno che parli la lingua può correggere gli errori. È una buona maniera di imparare qualcosa in un'altra lingua. Please correct any mistake. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Translation:
Yes Levi, we can do it that way, and then, anybody that speaks the language can correct the errors. It's a good way of learning something in another language. Here comes a tough one, Luxembourgish: Ech fannen datt dëst Spill eng immens gutt Iddi ass an hoffen datt vill Leit matmaachen. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, I don't speak Luxembourgish, but I know some German so here's my attempt:
I find that this game (is a really?) good idea (and I?) hope that (it will be fun?) Esperanto: Mi esperas ke iu povos traduki mian frazon, ĉar mi scias ke multaj Esperanto-parolantoj estas anoj de tiu ĉi forumo, kaj eĉ oni kiu ne parolas la lingvon povos kompreni ion de la senco se oni konas kelkajn okcident-eŭropajn lingvojn.

That's a pretty good attempt for someone who doesn't speak the language! At the end, it says "I hope that a lot (vill) of people (Leit) will participate (matmaachen). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

"I hope that you will be able to translate my sentence, but I know that many Esperanto speakers are members of this forum, and that those who do not speak the language will be able to understand at least the sense if they know any Western European languages." Czech: Chtěl bych poskytovat nějaké příkladové věty v češtině, ale nevím, jestli jsou tady v tomto fóru členové, kteří můžou číst moje příspěvky. 1 person has voted this message useful |
