| | With respect for your language Casper, I felt that this was like a medieval text, and the expression "Holy Empire" should be translated as the "Holy See", equally to the process a.k.a. "the inquisition". What do you think about that?

| | I've made a few edits. "Holy See" refers only to the Papacy, Porfyhr. CC: Porfyhr |

| | Thank you, everyone. Is it OK now? What does "composition" mean here? CC: Dalmo Porfyhr Freya |

| FreyaPočet príspevkov: 1910 | Yes. In my opinion the translation is good now.
"composition" is a metaphore which describes the empire.The empire is seen as a composition of people that have been blessed in extinguished fires. That's my guess, but I'm not sure. |

| | How about "confederation", then? A composition is most often a written essay in English. CC: Freya |

| | Now that I'm re-reading it, the phrase "nail him" bothers me. What is it supposed to mean? As in "nail him to the cross", or what?
Also, what is "Silent screams for the snare"? |

| FreyaPočet príspevkov: 1910 | If you agree with my way of translating the word" composition", I believe that "confederation" is a good choice but the others can have different opinions about "composition".We'd better wait for other ideas. |

| | "Composição" is the way you arrange things so they get a special magic (often used on Eastern religions). |

| FreyaPočet príspevkov: 1910 | "pregar" means "to clamp" or "to nail" and "preguem-no" = "clamp him " |
| | 29 septembra 2007 15:56 |
| | Pregar could be "to nail" and "to preach".
I see that I forgot to explain a lot of things. |

| | A "holy arrangement of extinguished fire" |

| | I took your suggestion for the 2nd line, Casper, and I changed "nail him" to "nail him down". Is it OK now? CC: Freya |

| FreyaPočet príspevkov: 1910 | Yes. It's OK |

| | Thank you; I've accepted it. |
