The Tolkien Translation Game!

[Jude]

Is that a white wizard talking about a brown wizard to a grey wizard?

[Frelga]

Yup

[Jude]

So, it must be this:

Radagast the Brown! Radagast the Bird-tamer! Radagast the Simple! Radagast the Fool! Yet he had just the wit to play the part that I set him. For you have come, and that was all the purpose of my message. And here you will stay, Gandalf the Grey, and rest from jouneys. For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman the Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Colours!

And in retrospect, I should have said "a multicoloured wizard" rather than a white one.

[Frelga]

That's it.

Has translationparty stopped working for you folks in Firefox? I can only get it to work in Chrome now.

To lock the door, even if you do not open it today, everyone is not abuse.

[Jude]

Need a hint?

Hidden text.

The first clause in the original is an instruction, not an infinitive. The word "abuse" does not occur.

[Inanna]

Is the instruction given to hobbits?

[Jude]

If that last word were in the singular rather than the plural, I would have said yes.

[Inanna]

Is it given to Bilbo?

[Jude]

Nope

[Frelga]

To Frodo?

By Gandalf?

[Jude]

No, and no

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Is it Frodo to Merry, at the end of the Long-expected Party: ‘Lock the door, and don’t open it to anyone today, not even if they bring a battering ram.’

[Jude]

That's the one!

I'm seriously impressed...

[Voronwë the Faithful]

This one is fun.

One can be, to catch the cat and Kitty told him to escape.

[Frelga]

Is that Frodo's song at the Green Dragon?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Nope!

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Frodo, however, is one of the ones being spoken of.

[Jude]

Is "Kitty" in the original?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

No, but something very similar.
