The stars, the moon, and the official languages of Europe

So, today we have a Sappho fragment. We've already seen it here and also here, as well as in the various editions: it's the one about the stars around the moon, LP 34. Alongside the idea described at the sister post of this titled «Le stelle, la luna, e i dialetti italiani», I had the idea of making an episode for every continent, translating this thing to one official language per country of that continent. So let's see what I got for Europe:

1. German from , dated «around 19 on 5/3/21, with the corrections suggested around 19:45 by this comment;
2. Italian, version 2 from the edition, for Italy, whose translation «inizia con i primi due versi all'1:33 dell'1/9/25, e finisce col resto il giorno dopo alle 13:39» (stars with the first two lines at 1:33 on 1/9/25 and ends with the rest the next day at 13:39); I replace version 1 with version 2 here, saving version 1 in its latest revision for the Italian dialects post;
3. English for the UK from the post with the German, dated to «the night between 28 and 29/3/21, specifically around 1:25»;
4. Modern Greek for Greece, dated 21/1/25 19:32-19:54, the better of two versions that will appear in the Greek anthology (or have appeared if the anthology has been launched, which it hasn't as of 29/10/25);
5. Albanian for Albania, with initial version dated 8/4/25 14:13-14:37; aiming to do Gheg (Kosovar) Albanian for Kosovo to avoid duplicates; the Corrected version was sent 27/9/25 23:09 with comment «Così è un po più definita diciamo, and I fixed the meter 23:24-23:30 as per Metrical 1, and Metrical 2 is from 23:40;
6. French for France, dated 9/4/25 8:43-8:45;
7. Hungarian for Hungary, dated 10/4/25 13:24-15:03, an actual Sapphic stanza;
8. Spanish for Spain, dated 10/4/25 20:39-20:47 with plata suggested 23:37 and endorsed at 12:05 on 5/5/25 by my consultant, discarding argento which "non si usa";
9. Czech for the Czech republic, dated 11/4/25 11:04-13:34, an actual Sapphic stanza;
10. Slovak for Slovakia, dated 24/4/25 16:21-17:20, another actual Sapphic stanza; I hoped to quickly Slovakify the Czech, but no luck, kolem -> okolo just didn't fit the meter, and měsíc becoming mesiac too, and more such changes;
11. Central Bavarian, taken from the Italian dialects project, where it is dated to 10/5/25 1:43:>30;
12. BCMS (Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian) for one of the four countries, still have to figure those out; it came in its original form completely out of the blue 4/6/25 21:09/10, then I tried to make it metrical as per version Metrical-1 10/6/25 23:42 - 11/6/25 0:54, but several errors were in there; lots of back and forth with the author of the original version, namely Transatlantic on Quora, led to versions Metrical-2 and Metrical-3 at 12:52:48 on that same 11/6, and eventually, with more interactions, I got to the final version at 18:37:36 on the same day, which unfortunately «doesn't read like good poetry in Croatian. For several reasons: The filler words (sve, tu, našu) sound a lot of like pop or rock song writing from the 60s to the 90s, where they often used to add words just because they needed an extra syllable. Also, the non-canonical word order sounds unnecessarily perturbed (just to shoehorn the words into the desirec metre)», according to Transatlantic, but then again, I need something to sing to the tune;
13. Portuguese for Portugal, made specifically to pair it with Spanish and have something to pair with BCMS when adding it here, i.e. made 12/6/25 16:16-16:19; again, tried to Portuguesify the Spanish, ended up stuck at "cercano" :);
14. Latin for the Vatican, also found here; we have the high school Latin, «Within 22/5/10, twk. betw. 26/7/10 and 16/8/10 | SP1 residue tweaked in S5»; the right-hand improvement at Sparse translations of Sappho into "unconventional" languages, dated 3/5/25 13:01-13:02; and the l. 2 from 16:38-16:39 on 7/9/25, which places the translation here;
15. Italian, version 3 from the edition, for San Marino, again to avoid duplicates; dated to 1:09 on 3/9/25, where the choice of last line that discarded «Piena, argentata» was made at 21:11 on 6/9/25; thought of trying a San Marino Romagnol version, but the Fb group for S.M. doesn't respond, and I don't know that variety of Romagnol;
16. Turkish for Cyprus; this started 7/11/25 21:31-21:37, producing «Oh! Yıldızlar, bak, ışıklarını / Saklıyorlar ayın etrafında», which has both lines one syllable short; I abandon it because I'm in the middle of a video and can't listen to Google for stress placements; I come back to it on 20/12/25, producing, with a bunch of work, «Bak! Güzel ayın çevresinde tekrar / Yıldızlar ışığını saklıyorlar» as a first half at 14:46-15:28; not sure why I decide to try «Bak! Güzel ayın çevresinde tekrar / Yıldızlar <x> gizleniyorlar eğer» at 15:50, after thinking a bunch; eventually, since that form is an adonian on its own, I decide to switch halves, getting «Yıldızlar ışıltılarıyla tekrar / GizleniyorlarÆ at 16:15 for the second half of the Turkish, which matches the first one of the original; as for the other half, I already had dolunay for the full moon, and add Simli to it at 16:18, then I keep going and complete the half at 16:47;
17. Romanian for Romania and Moldova, done by me 14/11/25 21:53-22:11 and approved by a consultant on 19/12/25;
18. Bulgarian for Bulgaria, done by me 14/11/25 22:14-22:35 and approved by a consultant;
19. Macedonian for North Macedonia, which I hoped would be an easy fix from Bulgarian, but besides осветява->осветлува (14/11/25 22:44 as the only thing needing a fix according to Google Translate) I had to remake basically everything 18/11/25 16:18-16:43;
20. Russian for Russia, done 17/11/25 20:13-20:35 in original version and sent as such to AG; he replies 11/12/25 0:47, fixing све to все and опе́т to опят́ь, and pointing out и́хний is colloquial; I of course accept the first two as such, but их leaves a one-syllable gap, so I ask for help at 1:35; at 9:00 he notes скрыва́ю should be скрыва́ют to be plural, and свой is more appropriate, being the reflexive possessive; with that, he suggests Свой блестящий облик or Свой облик блестящий, and since it's о́блик I choose the former at 9:13; in the same 9:00 message he also points out Russian is not pro-drop, so I need an она́ in the second half, and suggests changing краси́вой to прекра́сной; to add that pronoun, I try Если͜ она́ мир све́том <u-u>, по́лна- / я͜ и серебри͜стая, with the gap being thought of as a "fills" or "inundates"; in an 11:00 recap, I then send the two modified versions below, with the note that I am unable to fill that gap;
    11/12/25 23:37 he suggests using серебри́ть and omitting свет, and at 23:43 he suggests по́лниться and warns agains the synalephe I'm making in l. 4, thus disqualifying the Если version; from there, I suggest the Modified 3 version at 1:36 the following night, which at 3:45 is rejected because even as са́мая я́сная (can't use the short form jasna there) it wouldn't work; 4:22 I ask for clarification, and 4:32 he replies the short form is mostly used predicatively, and the appropriate elative is прея́сная, whence, at 9:00, I come up with Modified 4, the final version for now, which is pending approval;
21. Finnish for Finland, done 18/11/25 21:31-21:57 in original form and posted as such on Quora; JV then gives a first batch of comments 25/11/25 15:42, from which I get the final form of lines 1 and 3-4 at 15:58 and an attempt at l. 2 «Tähti kätkee –u valonsa kirkkaan» at 16:03; JV then suggests kaikki valonsa kirkkaat at 16:28, so that's that;
22. Catalan for Andorra, done 19/11/25 20:54-21:10;
23. Romansh for Switzerland, done 19/11/25 21:12-21:32;
24. Dutch for the Netherlands and Belgium, done 23/11/25 18:47-19:08 and approved with a spello fix (schoone->schone) later that evening;
25. Polish for Poland, done 23/11/25 19:12-19:28;
26. Slovene for Slovenia, done 7/12/25 15:04-15:32 and approved by A.G.;
27. Danish for Denmark, done 22/12/25 21:58-22:30 with tweaks 23/12/25 13:39 and 21:38;
28. Swedish for Sweden, done 22/12/25 22/12/25 22:31-22:47 basically Swedifying the Danish;
29. Nynorsk for Norway, done 23/12/25 13:35-13:53 basically Nynorskizing the Danish;
30. Gheg Albanian for Kosovo, done 23/12/25 20:43-21:12 and pending "small corrections" from G.S.;
31. Icelandic for Iceland, done 23/12/25 21:56-22:29;
