Hey #conlang folks!
If I posted a regular (e. g. daily, semi-daily, weekly, ...) translation challenge here on Fedi that gives you a short quote or passage to translate into your conlang, would you be interested in participating?

I finished a pretty solid translation of the Letter from Iddin-Sin to Zinu, an Old Babylonian letter of a young man to his mother, into my Germanic #conlang, Ru̇u̇ťalis.
It is dated to the 18th century B. C. (!) and is therefore one of the oldest surviving examples of writing out there.
In the letter, Iddin-Sin complains about the clothing his mother makes him, comparing it to his more fashionable classmates.In the replies to this post, I will post the Ru̇u̇ťalis translation sentence by sentence, including a gloss and the English equivalent!
Feel free to ask questions if you have any. :)
