alright, the 12th edition is ready for readers, and a dpl is welcome.

please note that i would like readers to claim (and in a certain format) before recording - only to make it a uniform process rather than having some readers claim and others not.

i would also be glad if you could help me translate the disclaimer into as many languages as possible

leanneyauyau · Post by **leanneyauyau** » February 2nd, 2016, 9:31 am

I'd like to claim a monologue please! We're studying Hamlet at school at the moment, so:

Hamlet - Ophelia - 'O my lord, my lord, I have been so affrighted!'

How would you like to receive links? I can provide some links to Russian texts.

BTW -- the link to the Russian King John could also work for: Henry IV, pt. 1 and 2, All's Well that End's Well, Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V, The Merry Wives of Windsor and Twelfth Night. They're all included in the same volume.

Good luck on this new production!

thank you leanne!

Carolin · Post by **Carolin** » February 3rd, 2016, 12:32 am

thank you john! i have added the russian intro/outro -- am i right that we are missing the translator? could you please add a 'translated by [translator]'?

thank you especially for offering to translate

and if you just post the link, i will add it to the second post. could you add a page number for each text, so that readers can find the texts easier? thanks!

Piotrek81 · Post by **Piotrek81** » February 3rd, 2016, 5:45 am

I found a source for Polish PD translations of Shakespeare

Since I've already read "Friends, Romans, countrymen", I'll be consistent and read "Obywatele, rodacy, Rzymianie", i.e the Polish translation of the same monologue.

Carolin · Post by **Carolin** » February 3rd, 2016, 5:55 am

thank you piotrek. could you please claim it in the manner indicated in the first post, in polish:
play - character - 'monologue'

if you could also translate the intro/outro for us into polish that would be great! (just use the english and add "translated by [translator]")

thanks!

Piotrek81 · Post by **Piotrek81** » February 3rd, 2016, 5:59 am

Sure.
Juliusz Cezar- Antoniusz- Obywatele, rodacy, Rzymianie

(just use the english and add "translated by [translator]")

What do you mean?

Carolin · Post by **Carolin** » February 3rd, 2016, 6:26 am

ah sorry, that wasnt clear.

i am trying to collect the intro and outro for this collection in as many languages as i can, here> viewtopic.php?p=1206023#p1206023

do you think you could add the polish? it should be the same as the english intro and outro, but since it will always be a translation, it needs the "translated by [translator]" in the intro (which obviously doesnt exist in the english version).

if you have any good text sources, i can also add them to the second post where we are collecting the texts of all plays in different languages

the reason behind all this is that im trying to make it easy for newbies to participate in this project

olpec667 · Post by **olpec667** » February 3rd, 2016, 12:58 pm

Claim:

Richard III - Gloucester - 'Now is the winter of our discontent'

olpec667 · Post by **olpec667** » February 3rd, 2016, 1:21 pm

Regarding the German version of Richard III - the text at Gutenberg seems interspersed with Cyrillic characters. Looks like any time there's an umlauted vowel or an Eszett, odd characters are mixed in. Is a shame!
