 		Translation
Hey,

it's me again, Markus. Well, I just wanted to tell you what happened during the last days. This weekend Ariadne came to England to meet Eli Hunt. He said he wants to help us. He seems to know something which he doesn't want to tell us so far. I'm pretty sure that he somehow can help all of us.

But something he isn't telling us, something he is keeping secret/hidden from us but, I don't know, I somehow trust him more and more.

He told us about a mysterious website, it has no name, just an IP adress. The strangest thing about the wesite is, when you enter "Touvu la ringon perditon" or "find the lost ring" it asks for agonothetai identification. Eli talked about that before in his podcast. I don't know, maybe he knows something.

But when I entered Thumos696, the word and the number I had in my vision, the site asked me [And here he makes a very bad grammatical mistake in german; he says "mir" instead of "mich"; and again, he speaks fluent without any noticeable accent] about the length of my ringfinger and my resting pulse. I measured both and typed into the website and now it says that Thumos696 is active.

What could that mean? And how does the website know the lenght of my ring finger?

Elis says this site is not from him, he found it. Who could be behind it and how can we progress? I feel like this is a puzzle but a puzzle that gets new pieces each day. I want to find out how I can put those pieces together so I can understand what's going on.

Yes, when I....if I can still keep on having your help, that would really be great. [This sentence was strangely mumbled, as if he lost the thread]

You keep doing the translations and keep up *that* great work....

I think we need to assemble a list of the names of who's translating the non-english stuff and keep a long "thank you/credits" list, as well as to know who to go to if more is found. -- rather than individual credit on every wiki entry, unless you think that's more appropriate?

 		I think that's a great idea Weezel...

if make such a list of translators, you can add me to the list for translations from german to english, even though I have not done any yet as I'm pretty new here, but I'm able (and willing Wink) to do so

 		Caption
Just wanted to let you know what's going on. As always, without your help we all would be lost.

[He uses the informal "euch" in the first sentence, but then uses the formal "Ihre" in the second one. This again is wrong, I can't adress someone first as a friend and then second as a stranger Smile]

 		Mirkomick is totally right...
the written german Markus uses is always a little odd (at least for a native speaker), it looks somewhat more than an automatic translation from english

i find the same way with Larissa. While her oral brazillian portuguese is good, the written one sometimes isn't much correct.

Meta-wise I think its possible that the people we see in pictures and on videos are different from the people in chat and email.

On the other hand, all of these people know that quite a lot of us are using robo-translators, so its possible they're trying to simplify what they say to make themselves understood.
