<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
It's been a long time since I was involved with Lowlands-L, though some of you may remember me.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I'm back with a proposal which might or might not find favour with some of you.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I'm now a small Irish publisher who has been publishing "Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland" in a number of languages. (To date: English,
Irish, Cornish, Esperanto, with German, French, Italian, Welsh,
Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Swedish, and Lojban(!) in the works.)</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I wonder... would any of you be interested in translating it into your
Lowlands language? I've spoken with Sandy Fleming who seems keen to
translate Alice into Scots. That's a good start...</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Would anyone else have an interest?</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Alice offers many opportunities for wordplay and puns ("Looking-Glass
offers more but is accordingly much harder to translate) and, well..</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Every language deserves to have an Alice.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
The length of the text is about 27,000 words.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

Subject: Projects<br><br>Hi, Michael, and welcome back! Of course I remember you.<br><br>That's an interesting project you have there.<br><br>So I take it you are talking about <b>new</b> translations in some cases. For instance, there are numerous German translations already (</span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_im_Wunderland">http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_im_Wunderland</a>), also at least two Dutch translations.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
