Re: [lojban] Translation help for a theatre project?

Hello!
And nice to hear that my idea sparks interest! Where are you from, by
the way? Do you have a chance to see the actual performance when it's ready?
I probably won't be able to see the play, unless someone does us the
favour of filming it.
I uploaded the text as .rtf here:
koti.phnet.fi/jpylvas/humancondition/godot/
<http://koti.phnet.fi/jpylvas/humancondition/godot/>
Check it out and tell me what you think!
Seems challenging, but possible.
Since most of the audience will not recognize the language, the
translation doesn't have to be perfect. Even literal would do fine
(although my translator spouse would kill me for saying this out
loud)...
No need to make a bad translation in my opinion.
But still one question: the text has a distinct
semi-religious/ceremonial style and I wonder how would that translate in
Lojban? How does lojban "work" with different styles?
Lojban is quite flexible and allows for a vast range of expressive styles.
And do you think you could make us also an audio file to help with
pronounciation?
I could do that. But I won't be singing the singing parts :)
I know all of this is a lot to ask, but since I think
the idea is so good we better execute it as well as possible.
It is a lot to do for just a month, especially since I'm quite packed
with projects and it's already hard enough to keep up with them. I'll
have to see if I can manage this on my own. Others are welcome to join in!
