"The supreme court has condemned a fourty-year-old man to fifteen months' imprisonment for rape, but put it down to a twelve-month sentence."
I know that a literal translation was required but it sounds really weird in English.
What do you think? | | |
8 October 2008 04:46 | | | I think it would be better put the literal one in the notes and its real meaning in the main box. CC: lilian canale | | |
8 October 2008 05:03 | | | Even better, ask Bamsa some tips.  | | |

Bamsa Number of messages: 1524 | Agree!
We should have the best translation in the main field, and as casper said, let's put the literal translation in the field "Remarks about the translation".
If we put and accept the literal translation in the main translation field, someone, who believe it is perfect, may use it wrongly.

And what do you think about my "translation" and Lilian's version, Bamsa?

13 October 2008 19:51 | | | "put it down" er ekki nógu góð þýðing. | | |
17 October 2008 05:07 | | | Bamsa? Is this translation worth validating now? CC: Bamsa | | |

BamsaNumber of messages: 1524 | OY... My head was in the clouds the last days. Let's see, I thought the other Icelandic said something about the translation.
The problem is that "en frestað fullnustu tólf mánaða refsingarinnar" means 12 months of the punishment have been postponed for later (they are supposed to be executed later). Can be used "suspended sentence" in stead?
