Know a non-standard language? Help me translate!

I'm currently collecting a phrase in various languages, and YOU can help me! I already have the sentence in the following languages:

*Finnish
*Dutch
*Danish
*English
*German
*French
*Spanish
*Polish

If your language isn't on the list, help me by posting about it! I'm particularly interested in Latin and Gaelic (either version will do).

The phrase is:

My hovercraft is full of eels.

Thanks!

EDIT: Please note that it MUST be in the Latin alphabet, or at least transliterated to Latin.

Are we allowed to know what this is for? End-of-year school project? Language comparison? Just to see how many languages you can get?

I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Pig Latin is an awful concept, which should never have been devised.

My | hovercraft | is | full | of | eels.
Mój | poduszkowiec | jest | pe&#322;ny | od |w&#281;gorzy.

Hope that it shows &#261;&#281;&#263;ó. (If not, then - Moj poduszkowiec jest pelen wegorzy - but without those letters it like a bug)

Polish language.

Btw. "Of" doesn't always mean "Od". Translated (in Polish) "Of" disaapear or have meaning of many words. Anyway im not polish teacher i have 3/6 grade from polish so... :P

Hope that it will help.
