Hello all,
First of all, sorry for not writing in Danish but I don’t speak Danish at all.
I was wondering if someone could help me: I would like to put forward a text in Danish to be translated into French (please have a look at the “Défi Dauzat” at http://www.proz.com/topic/97951?start=45&float=, it deals with a sort of challenge aimed at electing a trans... See more Hello all,
First of all, sorry for not writing in Danish but I don’t speak Danish at all.
I was wondering if someone could help me: I would like to put forward a text in Danish to be translated into French (please have a look at the “Défi Dauzat” at http://www.proz.com/topic/97951?start=45&float=, it deals with a sort of challenge aimed at electing a translator as good as Mr. Dauzat, a well known translator that doesn’t speak a single word of the languages he translates from).
Please note that the text should not contain more than 300 words and that it should not have been translated before (or at least the translation should not be available on the internet).
Thank you for your suggestions.
Best wishes ▲ Collapse

Since I do not speak much French - and your link leads to a post in French - I was never really able to find out, what the deal is about.
I think we need a translator!

Hello all,
In response to your comments, I can tell you that it deals with a challenge. We're sort of trying to determine if it is really possible to translate from a language you do not know at all into your mother tongue.
I hope it helps you to better understand the idea...
Kind regards

Hi Maria Jeanne,
I have a text which I know for sure hasn't been translated before. It is longer, but I have cut off about 300 words:
"Det har dårligt været til at overse: At Ekstra Bladet har fældet en knusende dom over lægen Søren Ventegodt og hængt ham ud til spot og spe. Min allerførste reaktion var faktisk den sundeste: En kraftig modvilje mod at tro på Ekstra Bladets "sandhed". Det er så åbenlyst, at først fælder de dommen, og derefter skriver de alle ... See more Hi Maria Jeanne,
I have a text which I know for sure hasn't been translated before. It is longer, but I have cut off about 300 words:
"Det har dårligt været til at overse: At Ekstra Bladet har fældet en knusende dom over lægen Søren Ventegodt og hængt ham ud til spot og spe. Min allerførste reaktion var faktisk den sundeste: En kraftig modvilje mod at tro på Ekstra Bladets "sandhed". Det er så åbenlyst, at først fælder de dommen, og derefter skriver de alle artiklerne i det lys. Alle oplysninger, der ikke passer i krammet, bliver sorteret fra, og resten bliver overdrevet og fordrejet. Det er fuldstændig umuligt at afgøre, hvad der er sandt eller falsk i sagen ud fra det, som Ekstra Bladet skriver, for journalisterne har allerede bestemt, hvad læseren skal mene. Det, synes jeg, er en fornærmelse af min intelligens, og i dette tilfælde var det jo også en direkte opfordring til at slippe den indre svinehund løs, og det bryder jeg mig ikke om. Lige så lidt som jeg bryder mig om, at en mand bliver hængt ud og svinet til, selvom det er højst usikkert, om han har gjort noget forkert.
Min mand var meget hurtig til at falde for Ekstra Bladets hadkampagne og jeg var desværre lidt for tilbøjelig til at lytte til ham. Da jeg så ydermere faldt for fristelsen til at købe Ekstra Bladet en dag, mens kampagnen var på sit højeste, begyndte jeg at mene, at der måtte jo nok være noget om det, sådan lidt à la "der går jo sjældent røg af en brand...".
I dag sendte min far mig så et nyhedsbrev fra Forskningscenter for Livskvalitet, og heri kom en medarbejder fra centeret med et overbevisende forsvar for Søren Ventegodt. Hun fortalte om deres arbejdsmetoder, og det begyndte at dæmre for mig, at den historie kræver noget mere forklaring, end Ekstra Bladet er i stand til at levere." ▲ Collapse
