The Tolkien Translation Game!

[Inanna]

Húrin?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

No, as I say, quite a bit earlier. When I say "on the right track" I mean it is said about a character who (to me at least) has a similar feeling to Túrin. But not necessarily the same race as he is.

ETA: Here is the quote again to bring on to this page:

"Don't hurry! More than you know. Give him peace."

[Jude]

Is it spoken about Fëanor?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Indeed it is!

[Jude]

Is this before or after the Flight of the Noldor?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Before. (But not long before.)

[Jude]

If this is correct, then it got drastically shortened:

Be not hasty! We ask a greater thing than thou knowest. Let him have peace yet awhile.

Aulë to Tulkas and the others present.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Yup, that's it. And yes it was shortened pretty good. Particularly the second sentence. Well done!

I thought this would be easy, because it had a proper name in it. But then Translationparty replaced the name with "he" at the last minute:

He always worked, even though he thought he worked for him.

[Frelga]

Is one of the he Saruman?

[Jude]

Yes, the first one.

[Frelga]

Is the other he Sauron and is this spoken by Gandalf?

[Jude]

No to both - Gandalf is not present when this is spoken.

[Frelga]

Hm. Is the speaker Treebeard?

[Jude]

Treebeard is not present.

[Jude]

If you need another hint...

Hidden text.

Sauron is no longer a concern at this point.

[Frelga]

So, Scouring?

[Jude]

It's in that chapter, yes...

[Frelga]

Oh, there it is.

Saruman was doing its work all the time, even when he thought he was working for himself.

[Alatar]

Who's the speaker? Frodo?
