Yes, this has been attempted many times. I beleive that the latest public
attempt was my own, and I'd like you to know that I found some holes in the
vocabulary that Maltz has revealed to us. I think I made it as far as the
second chapter, I will attempt to find it.
This is an incredibly difficult translation project. It deals with many
abstract concepts, which cannot be easily represented in the verb-based
structure that we have. I would be happy to coordinate and colaborate with
anyone who would like to try it again.
