Fremdsprachen ("Foreign Languages" in German, Torchwood fic)

Inspired by bfcure's Russian translation of my short Torchwood fic "Foreign Languages," I thought it would be fun to try my own hand at a translation...into German. This would not have been possible without the German-beta-work-extraordinaire of vulcan_rhapsody. Thank you!!

open invitation to translate the fic "Foreign Languages"!

Calling all language fans, Torchwood fans, and everything in between...

I wrote a little Torchwood fic (actually a series of 5 drabbles) highlighting little character moments for each of the Torchwood team through the use of 5 different languages. Since the fic focuses on languages, I was extra thrilled when someone asked to translate it into Russian. In fact, I liked it so much that I went ahead and did a translation too, into German!

To keep the fun going, I thought I'd open this up to the world... Anybody else want to try their hand at a translation?

It actually makes quite a fun little translation exercise, because it's very short (500 words), but there's also the additional challenge (if you want it) of trying to the same word count as the original, of exactly 100 words per drabble. (You don't have to do it that way, though, unless you want to.) You don't even need to be familiar with Torchwood, necessarily; my German-language beta said she enjoyed the fic and got a good sense of the characters despite not knowing them beforehand.

Here's the original fic:
"Foreign Languages" on DW or on AO3.

Here are the translations so far:
"Другие языки" translated into Russian by bfcure – on AO3.
"Fremdsprachen" translated into German by starfishstar – on AO3 or on DW.

Anybody who wants to join in, go for it! Post or link in the comments here; and/or post and link on AO3. (I really like AO3's linking feature, and would be happy to link to anyone's translation there!)
