I'm here via metafandom, and I have to say that I am extremely intrigued that German fandom has people actually going out and translating English fanfiction. It makes me wonder why people don't translate German/French/Spanish/Chinese etc. fanfiction into English, but I think it could largely be because most participants in English fandom are monolingual, while participants in German fandom might be bilingual or at least have a decent grasp of both English and German.
I find it amazing and also intriguing, and should you decide to write on your musings about translating fics, I would be interested because I'm also interested in translation!
