Title	Herbe douce
Text Submitted by La fourmi autodidacte	Source language: French Herbe douce. Ã€ son huitiÃ¨me jour Bergeronnette la bien nommÃ©e. Ã€ sa huitiÃ¨me annÃ©e Bergeronnette la bien aimÃ©e, Sur un tronc sa tÃªte Ã©clatÃ©e . AprÃ¨s huit annÃ©es Bergeronnette, Ton bourreau prisonnier, sa tÃªte purifiÃ©e. Paroles avouÃ©es, libertÃ© affirmÃ©e . Dans ton bec Bergeronnette une herbe douce, envolÃ©e
Remarks about the translation	RWANDA : -Gacaca est le nom rwandais pour tribunal communautaire villageois. Gacaca signifie Â« herbe douce Â» en kinyarwanda, câ€™est-Ã -dire l'endroit oÃ¹ l'on se rÃ©unit. -La bergeronnette (totem des Bagesera) bÃ©nÃ©ficie d'une interdiction protectrice. Celui qui la tue, membre ou non du clan correspondant, doit accomplir un certain rite de purification.

Title	Sweet Grass
Dịch English Translated by babachiko	Target language: English Sweet grass. On the eighth day Wagtail, the well named. On the eighth year Wagtail, the beloved one, On a trunk its head burst. After eight years, Wagtail, Your henchman gaoled, his head purified. Words admitted, freedom affirmed. In your beak, Wagtail, a sweet grass, flying away

	Francky5591 Tổng số bài gửi: 12396	Lene probably did a typo and typed "truck" instead of "trunk", but what she was meaning is that it has to be "burst head" and not "head burst"

	Chiv Tổng số bài gửi: 1	Le sens de cette traduction ne me semble pas assez fort + quelques erreurs : Je remplacerais plutÃ´t Sweet grass par soft grass. On the eighth... par At its eighth day... At its eighth YEAR (et non "day" sur la seconde ligne). "On a trunk its burst head" me semble plus correct mais j'avoue avoir un doute sur "burst". Je vois plutÃ´t "Ã©clatÃ©e" dans le sens de broyÃ©e (par quelqu'un), donc Ã©ventuellement "crushed" me semble plus appropriÃ©. "Henchman" n'est pas assez fort ici, je vois le bourreau dans le sens "tueur". "Words acknowledged" n'est peut-Ãªtre pas assez fort non plus, je verrais plus "confessed words". Et Ã nouveau "soft grass" sur la derniÃ¨re ligne.
