Halló, I'm looking for help in writing and translating the lyrics to multiple Icelandic rap and hip-hop songs, and thought I'd also share them with you all. If there are any Icelandic speakers who could transcribe the lyrics, that would be amazing, as I (and others I know) can't find the lyrics and want to practice the language more.

Hey, hopefully this is allowed. I've been collecting translations of the Pokemon Fire Red video game so I can eventually put the translations into the game and make a language patch so people can play it on their computers in their native language (or their hobby language).

Some possibilities I've been thinking about: personal preference, name is not Icelandic, she's trangendered... heh. What do you think?

I'm trying to make a complete archive of all versions of the Pokemon theme for the first season. I've got a good amount already, but what I'm missing is mostly translations and lyrics. As such, I turn to this community because it is so awesome (and because I've already asked other people to help and really couldn't find anyone to help except for ( Read more... )

Hi everyones,
I can't find an active translation com, so I was hoping someone would be so kind as to translate this song to Finnish (and Icelandic if at all possible) for me please? That'd be wonderful. Thanks so much to anyone who can help :)
