And yes, I figured most of those using Altavista Babelfish. So for all I know I just asked all Russian speakers to marry their fish or something.

I just got a request to translate one of my fics into Spanish, and was forced to tell the wonderful person who asked that I wasn't actually sure which stories were being translated, so I couldn't say yes yet. I know Vinculo (Bond in Spanish) is up to chapter 7 so far, and Bond in Portuguese is finished, and Bond in French is up to chapter 13, and I know Intruders slashzine was planning to translate Confession Is Good For the Soul into Spanish. But other than that I've very ditzily lost track of what's happening where.

So: help? If anybody has come across any of my stuff in other languages, could you let me know and, if you can, send me the link? I'm going to go update my ff.n profile to show the above, because it's kinda really incredibly dumb of me to have neglected this. I can't imagine translating even one short story from English to Spanish (my two native tongues) so the amount of work people have put in translating monsters like Bond just boggles my mind, and certainly deserves better than to have me draw a blank when people ask me about it.

Uhm, I can't really help you with that, but would it be okay if I translated Bond into German? ;] I've been thinking about translating it for a while now but I just don't have the time... But I will soon, so would you mind? :D

You know, I really ought to check up on the person who wanted to translate Arctic Fox into Chinese. I have no idea what happened with that...

OMG please let me know if you do find out. I've been looking at Bond in Russian and re-translating it through Alta Vista and it's absolutely bloody hilarious.

Ahaha, okay, here you go:

This is seriously the first bit I re-translated, just trying to figure out where in the fic it was:

"God, Draco." Harry starts to move once more, is quicker, along with each time pricks is stroking Malfoy. He thought he should wait for Malfoy, but he cannot, he want... ... Closely grabs Malfoy the buttocks, still attempts with another hand to stroke him, Harry has shot, loudly is groaning. When he opens the eye, Malfoy is staring at he, is panting for breath. His eye muscle is twitching, but also in Harry too loose hand often spasm. Harry gets hold of, the Malfoy hand has joined him. After several sudden stroking, they led him to arrive have been perfect. Malfoy sticks between the wet finger in them to palpitate, his shoulder sinks. "Comes here," Harry whispers. Depends on to front, Malfoy pours on his body.

::snicker:: My partner and I now have a running joke when one of us has not been clear: "I'm assuming you didn't actually want to tell me to marry my fish?"

hahaha, i just read a little bit of the french one and it's so funny to actually read one of your fic in french. it seems so... different and bizarre. :)
(i always read fics in english.)

it just reminded me how reading 'bond' two years ago helped me a lot in a difficult week at the end of the world. so thanks for that. :)

Well, not really. But you have it a bit wrong - it should be немного помощи - or something like that. Since I'm not a russian-as-first-language-speaker either, I'm not that sure about declinations.

"Bond" is being translated into russian here: http://www.hogwartsnet.ru/fanf/ffshowfic.php?l=3&fid=14696
or look here: http://slashyaoi.fastbb.ru/?1-0-30-00002583-000-0-0-1201272378
They're up chapter 13.

Quality is okay in my opinion, and there's a disclaimer that the translator in only translating and link to your Fictionalley account. So if you haven't gotten a request to translate your fic into Russian then there's no point in being troubled over the translator not being polite. If she hasn't asked you if she may translate your fic it's because it didn't occur to her she should. By Russian fanfic translator standards she's being very polite, really.

Just to let you know - I am translating "Confessions" in Russian. The 1st portion is now with betas, hope they will not strangle me in the process - heated creative discussions, you know :)

As for the Russian version of Bond, it's indeed very smooth; the translator is actually quite known in the Russian fandom.

PS. Looking forward to EtoE p.10... *shy*
