Fiat Lux: A Petition and Pledge
 

We, the undersigned, feel that the burden of providing translation for foreign-language passages and phrases should fall upon the Eratosphereans who post such items.

Furthermore, we, the undersigned, agree to take responsibility for making violators of this principle aware of it via PM (personal message) or email. The discreet nature of these notifications could result in the violator receiving a barrage of them.

* * * * *

All those in favor, please post the following below:
1. either "Let there be light," "Enough already!", or a vigorous affirmative, in any language or dialect (italics optional)
2. in parentheses, an English translation of Item #1 between quotation marks or inverted commas, plus the name of that language or dialect
3. your own first name, translated into that other language if you like

Example:

Fiat lux ("Let there be light" in Latin)
Iulia

Bostio beth, ble? Rwy'n teimlo'n ddryslyd ac ychydig yn ofni. ("Post what, where? I am feeling confused and slightly afraid" in Welsh.)

Annie (mae yr un peth yn y Gymraeg)
.

Tu as manqué à signer celà en sang, chère Annie. ("You forgot to sign that in blood, dear Annie" in French)
Julie

Sanguine non habeo; hoc ichor ("I have no blood; this is ichor" in Latin)

OK, OK, translation posted.
Optime; traductio facta est.
Sehr gut, Uebersetzung geliefert.
Va bene, la traduzione e fatta.
Tres bien, la traduction est faite.
Muy bien, la traduccion es hecha.

Ano? Hindi ang bawat isa nagsasalita ng Tagalog? ["What? Not everyone speaks Tagalog?"] :( [:)]

John [my wife can't pronounce "Jan"]

Et ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis, Ioannes, sed peccator solus non eras. ("And I absolve you from your sins, John, but you weren't the only sinner" in Latin)
Iulia

Doh!
(PIE - Proto-Indo-European - for "Remembrance of Things Pasta".)
