- Choose a language above, or All languages for a mix. Each has its own three sentences a day, the same for everyone.
- The phrase to translate is highlighted in the original. Pick its English from three choices; your translation builds up as you go.
- One point for each phrase you get first time. At the end of each sentence you see the library’s translation and, where there is one, how a translator of the 1800s or early 1900s put it.
- Earlier days stay open: use the arrows beside the date.
Greek, Russian and Chinese phrases show a transliteration in English letters under the original; switch it off for a harder game.
Every round comes from a real text in Hearth Library, with the library’s own translation. The numbers beside each language are how many rounds it has.
