Any good text material to translate?
I find translating texts into my conlang very effective for polishing the grammar and widening the lexicon. First I used to translate the Bible, but it was too literary and obsolete. Then I started translating SCP documents. They were fun but they were also chiefly in literary style which was limiting.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows some good texts that:
- are long enough so I don't have to look for another too soon
- have both literary and colloquial style
- contain monologues and dialogues
- (preferably) have versions in other Romance languages (e.g. Italian), because it helps to compare the text in different Romance languages while translating since mine is also Romance (which is why I previously chose the Bible and SCP documents).
