Projects

The following is a list of translation projects hosted here.

Before you make changes or corrections to any translation, please review the "discussion" page for that translation project, so that the corrections you make fit the project.

Dialogue of Joseph Smith with the Devil

Description: Written by Apostle Parley P. Pratt in 1844, this short (approximately 5,000 words) dialogue is the first work of Mormon fiction ever published. It represents an important step in the development of Mormon culture. It is a work that all Mormons should know about.

Translating: into Spanish and Portuguese. Status: First drafts complete. Need reviews of the translations by educated native speakers

The Angel of the Praries

Description: Apparently written in 1844, this short story (approximately 7,500 words) is an unusual view of Mormon thoughts about politics and the future of the US. It was finally published in 1880, but by the early 1900s, its views of the US were anacronistic.

Translating: into Spanish and Portuguese. Status: First draft in Portuguese complete. In the process of posting to these pages. Spanish draft to come.
