COMPLETE[FULL][GROUP]Multilingual Short Works Collection 026 - Poetry & Prose by Various - thw

It also serves as an extra check that the version is the intended one. I actually started a thread about it once:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=80567

Thank you! That clarifies. And it differs from what was drilled into me.

We're putting transliterations rather than translations there. I could tell you that it's similar to library cataloging practice, but the bottom line is, I don't make rules around here, I just enforce them.

Oh, I know, Michael! But sometimes I do enforce rules myself, and I prefer to understand what I enforce . Not sure the library cataloging practice is applicable -- libraries use both translations and transliterations. I question usefulness of a transliteration without translation. After all, it confuses plain listeners, not librarians
Maybe Todd would chime in

we are using the transliteration of "non latin" letters because then it is also searchable in the database if listeners don't have the specific keyboard to search with. As an example I was inputting "Tga za jug" just now and I found the Macedonian contribution "Т'га за југ" which I wouldn't have found if it wasn't transcribed. Another example is the Chinese in the same collection "Shu xiang", which I definitely wouldn't have found otherwise because I don't know how to write the Chinese signs.

I know there is probably not much of a chance that people will search for a title if they don't have the correct keyboard, but it doesn't hurt, so we include them. It's a pure "functional" help for the search function.

As for translations of the title, I don't see the need too much in a multilingual project. The goal is to have the text in that specific language, so if people don't understand the title, they will probably also not understand the text, and we don't translate that either. And for those that are interested, there are always dictionaries.

Sonia has said all this far better than I could.

Thanks, Todd

Thank you, Michael, Sonia, and Todd!
Your collective effort did find its way to my brain, whatever left of it
I think I understand now.

thank you very much, Epachuko, great to hear your voice in this project as well and this poem is really a great find, I loved it very much, so full of emotions.

Nicely read, I only have two small edits to suggest:

> at 1:23: "secos los negros ojos" – I think you say "seco", not sure whether it's important. Also you say "ojos negros", which doesn't change the meaning, I only mention it in case you want to stick to the metric the author originally had in mind. In a prose text I wouldn't even have mentioned it, but sometimes in poetry, readers want to be more strict. Up to you

> at 4:20: repeat can be cut: "Adios, dulce extrangera, mi alma"

thanks

Sonia

[Epachuko]

Sonia!!! It is always a delight to meet us again

I have tried to record the first mistake about three times in different moments of the day, but I am not able to get the same "tune" on my voice. To cut and paste the fragment sound...bad. So if you do not mind, I will rather let it has it is...

But the repetition is erased but not consecuences Here it is the new file:

Thank you all of you, Todd, Kazbek and Sonia!!!

absolutely no problem, I gave you the option and choice. It doesn't change the meaning or the rhyme, so all is well

PL ok now.

Have a nice day !

Hello
I'd like to add an Arabic piece to the collection by Egyptian author مصطفى لطفي المنفلوطي Mustafa Lutfi al-Manfaluti (1876-1924)

The piece is titled: الكذب al-Kathib (which literally translates to "lying" (as in not being truthful))
It's from his book النظرات al-Natharaat, volume 1, 2nd edition (published in 1913)
Link to text: http://dlib.nyu.edu/aco/book/aub_aco001365/1


Link to recording: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/msw026_alkathib_almanfaluti_ay_128kb.mp3
Duration: 03:44

It's been a while since I uploaded my first recording (this is the second one), so if there's anything that needs fixing in the recording and/or in the formatting kindly let me know.

It's alright to do more than one recording in the same language and/or by the same author in the same collection, yeah?

Thank you,
and have a wonderful day!

Hi Anas,

Great to see another contribution from you! The source is PD. I wasn't aware of this site. Looks pretty useful!

Sonia, I can PL this, unless you'd like to try Arabic? We need to add the author to the catalog:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Lutfi_al-Manfaluti
Last name: al-Manfaluti
First names: Mustafa Lutfi

For the Arabic alias page:
Last name: المنفلوطي
First names: مصطفى لطفي

Thanks!
Michael
