Hello all,
I just wanted to inquire and see if anyone had gotten around to making Talossan translations of holy books (Bible, Quran, sutras, etc)? I know we have a translation of the book of Genesis somewhere; just thought I'd ask if we had more.

No, I don't think so. This page is pretty comprehensive as far as I'm aware, even if some of the language is outdated: https://wiki.talossa.com/TalossaWiki:Library#Talossan_Language_Collection
Former King Robert I translated the first 8 verses of the Epistle of James (https://web.archive.org/web/20000818022757/www.execpc.com/~talossa/glhetg.html) (note: this is the pre-reform spelling with far more "spaghetti" over the words)

Nice! Do you know if that (and the book of Genesis) were based on an existing translation or more original sources (like the Leningrad Codex or Greek New Testament)?
I might try to make a translation of the 76-book Orthodox canon if God leads me to do so, but only He knows...

At the time, King Robert I was a member of the Latter Day Saints faith which believes the King James translation to be divinely inspired, so I'd assume that's where it's from. He is certainly no scholar of the original languages of scripture.
