Strange, this meaning is unknown to me for the word "translation" in
French. For the event of bodily going to heaven, French uses two words:
"ascension", specifically for Jesus (and written with a capital, and
"assomption" for everyone else (his mother, for whom it's written with a
capital, and the odd saint, for whom it's written in small letters). Those
are the only two words I've ever heard for this. Aren't they international?
(being so obviously coming from Latin, I'd think so :)) )

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
