<br>
> Also, planned to be published by that time is a book (of more than one
volume) that discusses as many of the Alice
translations as possible. At this very point in time, it includes 97 languages
of which many have more than one translation each.<br>
<br>
It has not been decided yet, but I hope to typeset and publish the volumes.<br>
<br>
> This is not to say that further Low Saxon translations are not welcome
(such as Mecklenburgish, Pomeranian, Westphalian, Eastphalian, Eastern
Friesland LS, Groningen LS, Stellingwerven LS, Drenthe LS, Twente LS, Mennonite
LS [Plautdietsch] ...).<br>
<br>
Yum.<br>
<br>
> Also, outside of the Lowlands,
translations into Yiddish and Ladino are badly needed. (Unfortunately, my proficiency
in both, although good, is not quite native enough for the job.)<br>
<br>
Well, you can't force a translation.<br>
<br>
> By now you probably got my drift, which is an encouragement for you and
your friends to consider tackling translations of Alice into further language
varieties, Lowlands ones and otherwise. I happen to know that our Michael
Everson has at least two further Lowlands
language translations coming up: (Mainland) Scots, and Ulster Scots (Ullans). I
feel very excited about them.<br>
<br>
As am I. Both will appear in 2011. Also to appear in 2011 are "Alicia in
Terra Mirabili" (Latin), "Ventürs jiela Lälid in Stunalän"
(Volapük), "Los Aventuros de Alis in Marvoland" (Neo), and Alices
Hændelser i Vidunderlandet" (re-edition of the 1875 translation
"Maries Hændelser i Vidunderlandet").<br>
<br>

Michael Everson (<a href="mailto:everson@evertype.com">everson@evertype.com</a>).
Michael turned out to be a highly appreciative editor and publisher and at the
same time exacting one.<br>
<br>
One does one's best.<br>
<br>
> He’s as close to a multilingual dream publisher as you can imagine. Don’t
even think about pulling the linguistic wool over his eyes!<br>
<br>
Heh.<br>
<br>
> > Michael, can something be done about it?<br>
><br>
> Low German is not on Amazon's popup list but I can say that the book is in
German.<br>
><br>
> How about working “Low German”, “Low Saxon”, Plattdüütsch etc. into the
metadata so the Amazon ants know what to do?<br>
<br>
Ants?<br>
<br>
The book description has the relevant terms in both Low German and English.<br>

>>> I listed all links here: <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/hahn_alice.php" target="_blank">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/hahn_alice.php</a><br>

>> Some of those are not to Evertype editions (of the French and German)
which are certainly available on all Amazons.<br>
><br>
> I know, Michael. They are simply place holders. I’ve been having a hard
time finding your editions at the various branches. (Help?)<br>
<br>
All you need is one URL with the ISBN:<br>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Thanks, Michael. I’ll work on
it, also have at least one more marketing idea (to be discussed later).<br>
<br>
Wouldn’t it be cool if it were you who publishes the commemorative volumes? Who
else? Really ...<br>
<br>
I look forward to working with you again sometime.</p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Folks, another thing:<br>
I assume that translations are expected to be based on the original English version rather than on a translation.<br>
