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

Hello!

And sorry about the delay: I've been either very busy or very tired the past couple of days. I've just now had the chance to sit down in peace to look more closely to the text. And it sure looks impressive!
I don't have the ability to tell anything about the quality of the translation, so I better leave that to someone who can. But even as a first draft it's more than I could ever hope for! If I'd live in your town I'd bring you now loads and loads of alcoholic beverages to thank you.
For us the next step would be to learn how to pronounce the words (and sentences) as close to fluent and natural as possible. I found a basic pronounciation guide, but in order to help the actor recite the text well, we should "decipher" it first. For example, to emphasize certain lines it's good to know at least generally what the meaning of individual words are ("This I will guard" vs. "This I will guard" vs. "This I will guard" vs. "This I will guard" in English, probably works a bit different in Lojban? Or does it?). Do you think you could help us out also with that?
We're making first attempts on recording parts of the text ("The Chant") Wednesday afternoon. I'll upload the clip to our website, so you can comment on how it went.

I'm still waiting for a response with feedback.
