Open problems in translation

The following is a list of English sentences for which there is no widely accepted Toaq translation. The list is broken into three sections: sentences for which no translation is known at all, sentences for which translations are known but are impractically length or unacceptable for some other reason, and sentences for which acceptable translations have since been found.
