Translating web page into Lojban




Inspired by Nick Nicholas's home page, I've decided to start translating =
a
few of my Web pages into Lojban. I'm still having a lot of trouble with
syntax and vocabulary, but I think this could be a good way to learn the
language. It's one thing to figure out what others are saying with the =
help
of the word lists, but it's more challenging to go the other way and try =
to
find the appropriate words to express particular ideas.

A few notes on the translation:

"preda'u" corresponds to the English word "furry", which is jargon for
"anthropomorphic animal". I'm going to be needing this word for other web
pages on my site as well, so I think it deserves its own lujvo.

"jitcau ka preda'ucne" is the name of one of my regular features, =
Infinite
Difursity. I want to suggest "furry" and "infinite diversity" in the same
phrase, as nearly as that is possible in Lojban.

"lei festi skamymri" is intended to mean "junk email".

"te sorcu" is intended to mean "site", as in "web site".

I'm least satisfied with my translation of "Join the Blue Ribbon
Anti-Censorship Campaign!" The wording just seems too awkward, and =
there's
got to be a better word than "girzu" or "bende" to describe it.

Any suggestions of better translations or error corrections will be
appreciated.
