Instead of translating a text from someone else's conlang into our own conlang, we translated texts from our own conlang into somebody else's. This required a longish lead time while we studied our successor's conlang so we would be able to translate into it when our turn came, and longer turns (a week instead of 48 hours). -- Jim Henry http://www.pobox.com/~jimhenry/gzb/gzb.htm
