Why in gods name would you want something translated into hick? It doesn't make a terribly large amount of sense, unless you are writing a play, in which case I think I should tell you that I seriously doubt the existence of a "translator" that fits the specifics you have provided.

Sorry I couldn't be any help.

I hate to say this, but I think you need a basic undersrtanding of english before you can mutilate it successfully.

What in damn hell you talkin' 'bout boy?

(the rest of it was really good, so for the good of my point, I'll just conveniently forget about it)

Am I missing something? Why do you need a translation of a book that was written in simple English barely more than 100 years ago?

I would guess either laziness or the project is to write a new chapter to the book. The dialogue would have to be in the form µ has described.

Or maybe the project is to find unexpecting souls and toture them!

That's why you cheat creatively and minimize the dialogue in the chapter you write.

Or why not just do the work yourself? I'm sure the two of you could have figured something out.

Hmmmm. This reminds me of when I was 12, and our class was putting on scenes from Shakespeare's plays. We had to pare down our scene to fit it into the time limit, and I had way too many lines to simply chop some out. So I rewrote my entire part. Nobody actually noticed...

Apparently it's now one of my old teacher's favourite anecdotes.

Speaking of time limits in classes... Twas 12th grade, AP English 12, first semester finals day, and the only final where we had to do anything. We had to make presentations on something (I can't remember about what, but we each had to do a presentation) and we had to get through around a dozen of my classmates, including myself, in the last hour of the period. Me and my chums realized that we were the only ones left to present and, if we did it right, most of us wouldn't have to go so we set up a running order. We had my buddy Jed volunteer to present first, then I was up, and if there was any time left my good friend Roman would get up there. Jed made it around twenty miniutes (these were supposed to be 5-7 miniute presentations) before he lost his train of thought and he was forced to sit down, and I was up. Jed had dropped the ball (myself and Jed alone had filled up hours of class time with our endless presentations over the years, and twenty miniutes was nothing to be proud of, I could do twenty miniutes and still not have started on my presentation material yet) and it was up to me to pull at least a half hour presentation. Now, while Jed was known for simply burying the audience with endless facts and a simple monotonous delivery, I usually was able to keep the class's attention and get some really good laughs out of my presentations, but the crowd was a difficult one that day, lead by my teacher who was rather pissed because she knew what we were trying to do and who I could tell was out to cut my presentation short. So I fired up and blathered on about general stuff and was in rare form that day. Another one of my friends, Simon, began to choke and fell out of his chair he was laughing so hard at one point, and even the teacher was getting into it when the bell rang. I hadn't even made it half way through my research material and had blown 40 miniutes away without any problem at all which is the reason why I, to this day, am an excellent person to have ahead of you in a presentation order.

mmmmm high school reminiscing. I am still in high school, so the memories are close to the surface

•Once in Spanish class, we waisted an entire period, 90 minutes, just asking our teacher about school rules.

•Once in Spanish class, our substitute teacher went to adjust the blinds, tripped over a box, and smacked her head into a metal cabinet. Needless to say that was the end of that period.

•Once in calc, our teacher brought in a karaoke machine for no reason and we had to use it during class

A pre-planned exciting event will happen if the following conditions are met:

•The 9th grade English teacher moves to 11th next year
•My fellow honors English students don't wimp out

If both those things happen, our entire class will pretend satan, I mean the English teacher, isn't in the classroom, until we get a new teacher.

We've made a sub cry. We started throwing paper, and it built and built, until a few of us overturned desks for protection, and then the class went to hell.

Much fun. That was 3 years ago, and my friends and I still reminisce.

My best two substitute stories where we actually didn't get in any trouble.

We (and by we I mean one of my friends who happened to be stoned at the time, using my lighter) once set a desk on fire when we had a sub in my Honors Biology class (actually it was a bag worth of gummy worms stuck to the side of a desk, but it screwed up the desk pretty well also), the sub decided that, rather than get himself in trouble, that we would all just keep quiet about it and hope that nobody would notice that the side of one of the desks was half melted and black (what was really amazing was that the fire alarm never went off, yeah they use quality equptment in the public schools ).

I also very nearly got into a fistfight with a sub in my 10th grade spanish class, he was some kind of nut who firmly believed that me and my friends were calling him a "fag" every time he turned his back, which we were not doing and frankly weren't paying any attention to him one way or the other. After he yelled at us for a while and I explained to him that my friends and I were simply doing our classwork toghether he got right in my face and started yelling, "Do you think that that term is deserving of me?" (which, to this day, still confuzes me, but as I said, this guy was a certifiable nut). His fit caused me to stand up in order to get as far away from this moron as I possibly could, at which point he got into some sort of boxing stance and started dancing around, evidentally figuring that I was going to attack him. To this display of stupidity I calmly said, with my best cold stare (which is really pretty good, it rarely fails), something clever like, "If you don't back the **** down immediately, I'm going to tear your head off and pound it up your arse." (this fellow wasn't a particularly impressive person and even then I was of a fairly imposing physical stature, plus I had witnesses). He considered his options and left the classroom with around fifteen miniutes remaining. I figured that he was going to the office and I was going to get to talk this event over with the administration, but that was the last any of us ever saw or heard of the nut. We joked about it for years figuring that the mothership finally came and picked him up.

Pufer is either a liar or really cool. Probably the first.
