Meritbadger: Translation

I covet this badge. 

I might qualify in general, though not quite on the specifics listed.  I have asked.  But to cover one of them -- does anyone know if some of my writing has been translated into some other language?

EDIT 12/15/10:
Oh, silly me, I do qualify. My poem "Hanes" was translated from Welsh into English by someone else when it won the Left Coast Eisteddfod Poetry Competition. I'd forgotten about that because I wrote both a Welsh and an English version -- but I only submitted the Welsh version, hence the translation. My partner Doug reminded me.

Ummm... I could have a go at translating one of your poems into French. 'Course, I have to warn you, mon Francais est merde.

Sure, go for it! If nothing else, it will be fun. *ponder* And if you're open to feedback, there are probably other French speakers on here.

Other French speakers? I'm pretty sure I don't qualify as one. XD

Well, you offered to translate. You wrote a legible sentence in French. I figure that counts.
