About the multi-language thing: I'm from Brazil. I can translate it to portuguese if you want. Just tell me what to translate, and I will.

Well, I have been quite busy lately, I have about 1 free hour each day, some days not at all, and about 6 hours during weekends, but if you guys want me to translate the petition letter, or anything like that, I'd be glad to. Just tell me what to do, and as soon as possible, I'll do it. I mean, I could do it quite quickly.

Oh, and, did you know that until recently, the names Dooku and Sifo-Dyas were translated as Dookan ans Zaifo-Vias in the portuguese speaking version of every material related to episode 2, because both names ressambled cuss words in that language (episode 2 was aired recently on TV, and the names were back to Dooku and Sifo-Dyas, so I'm guessing they changed their minds).

BTTF trilogy are my favourite movies. mainly for sentimental reasons. It's something between my sister and me. Sometimes we even call each other 'butthead' and 'slacker'! There are so many things I like about it so I better stop writing about it now before I get started...

I don't know what's so awesome about it. It's a place like any other.

I did see that movie, I enjoyed it very much, I like that kind of gangster-movie, altought I must say the reallity is not that brutal and violent, and the real people involved were not so young as the actors cast. It was supposed to be set during the 70s and 80s, and they speaked like it was 2001 (something non-brazillian viewers would not notice). My favorite brazillian movie is "Boleiros", which narrates 5 or 6 short stories about soccer. Unfortunally it's completly untranslatable, and audiences outised Brazil would never get the jokes.

I live in São Paulo, it's probably 3rd or 4th biggest city in the world, I think it loses to Tokyo, Mexico City and NY. It's about 480km away from Rio de Janeiro.

There is little to see here in São Paulo, I mean, it's like visiting Detroit, what's in it? About 95% of outsiders come here for business reasons only. The other 5% are lost. Rio is an ok place to visit, it used to be better, but it used to be worse too, you just have to know when to go, where to go, and how to go. You could check out other coast cities if you are more adventurous-like. The northeast coast is ok as well, I would recomend visiting it during the low season (march-november), or maybe during Carnaval (february, sometimes march, depends). If you like nature, fishing, and being bitten by bugs, you would like the Pantanal. There's the Foz do Iguaçu falls, in the border with Paraguay and Argentina, there's the south, which feels a little bit like a latin europe. There's the amazon forest, but I'm not sure how's it like to visit...

Cool I'm an ambassador? Do I have diplomatic imunity?

Well anyway, as I said before, if you guys want me to translate it to portuguese, I'd be glad to. Lots of SW fans in Brazil and Portugal.

I take it we've kinda given up on the idea of translating?

Oh well. We've still got a pretty big audience as it is. And many more who do speak English to appeal to.

Not for long. I'm creating a new language that will replace Esperanto and English. It's very simple, and uses only the letters P and A.
