[edit] Translation pains

Yes, it's that time again--time to correct Adamrush's translations.

First on the menu is my translation of the poetry terms in the second paragraph. The way in which Swedish talks about poetry is difficult enough to read, much less translate.

Second is, of course, the translation of the text. Some text has been lifted from Rundata, but is has taken some artistic license. The names have been changed to the forms used in translations to modern Swedish.

Finally, the last paragraph's last sentence, about the speculation: Did I get it right? I'm pretty sure it was Our Lady's church they were talking about. Also, that last paragraph, in the spirit of our discussion about Vasterbotten's syndrome, seems cut-worthy. Give me your feedback!

Thanks for the help! --Adamrush 19:09, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm no expert, but I can not spot any obvious errors. The text seem to have, in essense, the same meaning as the Swedish, although somewhat difficult to follow it. And I can't spot any errors in the translations either.

About the "our lady church" -- there is a nice image of it on article Skänninge.

People who know what they're doing can go here and insert a pretty picture into the article. Unfortunately, that bars me from the task. --Adamrush 19:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
