Never heard of that one, sounds like a good idea, and I'll definitly look it up. There's just nothing like shouting FREUDE, untranslatable. You probably see this everyday, but to me it's interesting to see such different translations, especially when some of the original words are not common words.

(I also intend to learn Un bel di from Madama Butterfly in Italian.)
