Title	Mount Atlas
Text Submitted by CocoT	Source language: English Translated by Efylove [Mount Atlas] is entirely silent during the day and, isolated, it arouses horror; [at night] it is enlightened by nocturnal fires and it echoes everywhere with the choirs of Aegipans; you can hear the singing of flutes and the tinkle of cymbals along the seashore.
Remarks about the translation	Cap. XXIV, Caius Julius Solinus, "De Mirabilibus Mundi". He's talking about Mount Atlas. Literally: "it isn't isolated without horror"; "the singing of flutes and the tinkle of cymbals are heard". "Per oram maritimam" = you can hear the singing of these instruments even along the seashore.

Title	Berg Atlas
Translation German Translated by Rodrigues	Target language: German [Berg Atlas] ist tagsÃ¼ber vollkommen ruhig und isoliert, er ruft Horror hervor; [nachts] leuchtet er von nÃ¤chtlichen Feuern und es gibt Ã¼berall Echos mit den ChÃ¶ren der Aegipanen; Du kannst das FlÃ¶tenspiel hÃ¶ren und das Klingeln der Zimbeln entlang der MeereskÃ¼ste.
Remarks about the translation	edited the sentence to "...leuchtet er von nÃ¤chtlichen Feuern..." 10.01.10 19:40 R.

	jollyo Number of messages: 330	interpunction: one comma before the word 'isoliert' and one after perhaps even better 'abgesondert' es gibt -> gibt es das FlÃ¶tenspiel -> 'den Klang der FlÃ¶ten' or 'das Singen der FlÃ¶ten'

	gbernsdorff Number of messages: 240	I think it is fine as it is now. It is a perfect translation of the English text. Jollyo's suggestion about adding a comma before 'isoliert' makes your translation follow more closely the Latin source text [Silet per diem universus, nec sine horrore secretus est], which also puts 'isoliert' in the same phrase as 'Horror', separating it from 'ruhig'.However, if you add that comma before 'isoliert', the word order of 'er ruft' must be inversed. Mark that I have suggested [8 Jan. 11.41] to ommit 'nÃ¤chtlichen', for a similar reason. The Latin text [lucet nocturnis ignibus] mentions 'nÃ¤chtlich/nocturnis' just once. Therefore, if you take Latin instead of English as your source text, it would be more appropiate to say 'er leuchtet mit nÃ¤chtlichen Feuern' or 'nachts ist er von Feuern erhellt'. It all depends on what you consider to be your source text.
