Fwd: Re: Respectful Request for a Translation

[hzenk at PDX.EDU]

Well, there's a lot of ways to go with something like this.   
Circumlocution is the heart of pidgin communication.

For something historical, here is how the missionary Fr L. N. St. Onge  
rendered a well-known bible passage into Wawa:

pi kopet-saleks kopa man kopa elehi spos tlaska tlush tomtom
'And peace to men on earth if they are of good will'

St. Onge renders "peace" as the end (kopet) of anger/fighting  
(saleks).  - Henry
