Do you translate into a foreign language?

We've beaten this to death: Translators should only translate into their mother tongue. Time to check how often this rule is not observed.

The question is: Do you also translate into foreign languages rather than into your mother tongue only?

Please note that for the purpose of this poll

(a) mother tongue=language of habitual use=dominant language='A' language (we've already beaten those distinctions to death elsewhere),

(b) I am interested in what you do as a rule, not in exceptions. If you routinely translate 10% of your stuff into a foreign language/foreign languages, your answer is #2. If you disagree with that practice, but it just happened this month that you exceptionally and reluctantly had to exclusively translate into a foreign language, your answer is #1.

I`m constantly surprised at colleagues demanding me to translate verse and sayings (those should never be translated into anything but your A)

Dear Dodo,

With all respect for your language, among these fora partcipants (not: lurkers) only Liliana can make something of it, if I am not mistaken. If you are desperate to only address her here in Lithuanian, with no one else made privy to what you two are talking about, I think you should clearly state: Liliana, ...

I think this was all done for just an artistic effect, nothing bad at all. To express things that could be best expressed in the original. Yes, Lithuanian is quite unique, but this is beyond anybody's control. My father did it all the time: spoke Lithuanian when he got tired of anything else. Unfortunately the only person who could understand him at that time was his father, if he happened to be around, but it always sounded very nice.

You see, Dodo, our little double standard becomes too complicated after all to practice...

 

Um... somehow, Spanish or French or German on the Default Language forums seems not to irritate anybody, but with Lithuanian or Polish or Russian it is different...

If I want to address anybody with no one else made privy to anything, I take the trouble to click the Send Private Message button.

(not: lurkers)

My language is dying. Yet I happen to like the old crippled thing. So any lurker curious enough to try and understand it is a drop of life to it. Pathetic, isn`t it? Well, you are free to hate beggars and not give them anything, but it`s not very nice to take away their alms-bowl...

I am not sure I understand what you mean. (Try posting in English on the Spanish Forum to feel better in the meantime.   )

Well, Dodo, not if you're looking for an oasis filled with water just for you...for your consumption only, but if it's sand you're looking for...

Wishing you a Happy Fourth of July long weekend celebration

It`s Sixth of July for us, but thanks anyway!

Only I do not celebrate this. Betray your people and get a crown... I can understand this kind of game, but I don`t find it fun.

It does irritate me, despite the fact that I understand all three, because it is discourteous.  I don't think you will find anything that I have ever posted which includes another language, without at least a brief description.

What is your sixth, which you don't celebrate, Dodo?  We had Canada Day on July 1.  As I understand it, July 4th is an American holiday.  Does the date have significance elsewhere?

What is your sixth

It is the date of coronation of Mindaugas, the first (and last) King of Lithuania. Before him and after him the rulers were just Great Dukes.

RE: Do you translate into a foreign language?

I think I'll join Nanna in wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July weekend - and then ask that we get back to discussing "Do you translate into a foreign language?" - and so there is no misunderstanding, here's a translation - "do you translate PROFESSIONALLY into a foreign language?

RE: Do you translate into a foreign language?

I think we need to establish first what a foreign language is, because it may mean different things.
