Okay, what do we mean by 'translation'? I can't do it, not really. árni's
proposition seems to be designed for people like me, who do not know the
other languages. But is he asking for homophonic translations? Or what
Mairéad seemed to be suggesting, homolinguistic ones? I'm thinking of such
things as Ernst Jandl's delightful 'translation' of Wordsworth's Daffodils
into a German homphonic version.
