Folks,

I received a request in German (below), apparently in response to my
Lowlands Saxon (Low German) translation of "Auld Lang Syne"
(http://www.sassisch.net/auld_lang_syne.htm).  The question is if Robert
Burns' songs had been translated into LS earlier and have been published in
book form.  If so, I would be surprised, especially if it had been in the
18th century, as surmised.  I am aware only of Friedrich Freudenthal (one of
the two Freudenthal Brothers, the Scholars and Bards of the Lunenburg Heath,
http://freudenthal-gesellschaft.de/) having translated one of Burns'
Scottish English love poems in 1873.

I have also translated Burns' monumental ballad "Tam O' Shanter" into LS,
but so far I have shared it only with close friends because it is not yet
published.

Any information would be appreciated and would be forwarded.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

Sehr geehrter Herr Hahn,

Da ich gerade meine Abschlussarbeit in einem Uebersetzerstudiengang hier in
Grossbritannien schreibe, und gerade nach Uebersetzungen von
Robert-Burns-Gedichten ins Plattdeutsche recherchiere, bin ich auf Ihre
Webseite gestossen. Ich habe da eine Frage und wuerde mich freuen, wenn Sie
sie mir beantworten koennten. Ich habe in einem Buch mit plattdeutschen
Gedichten (das hier fuer mich nicht zugaenglich ist) gelesen, dass es im
18.Jahrhundert schon mal eine niederdeutsche Uebersetzung seiner Gedichte
gegeben hat. Wissen Sie vielleicht von wem?
Ich hoffe, von Ihnen zu hoeren. Ich wuerde mich auch  gerne ueber die
plattdeutsche Sprache mit Ihnen austauschen.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

Anita Sikora
