Those are both the same ‘language’. The linguist James Milroy commented “It
must be emphasised that in their strongest rural forms these dialects are
Lowland Scots dialects. Those of Antrim and North Derry are barely
distinguishable from Ayrshire dialects.” (1982: 27)


Of course the translations will likely differ from each other in choice of
vocabulary and orthography. That would generally hold true for further
translations in any variety of Scots.

Splendid! I am sure you have the best contacts in (what does one call it?)
Plattland.

There's always "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There". I'd
advise taking a breather before plunging in to that. It's very difficult to
translate!

on the original English version rather than on a translation.

Yes, most definitely. And I welcome more translations.
