I had the recent surprise of finding out that one of my readers had taken it upon himself to translate I Was a Teenage Dummy Plug into German... since he's doing it on a forum, he has odd chapter breaks but still, if you're fluent in German, or think you're somewhat apt at it:
"Teenager Dummyplug"

Congrats, you're famous.
It's a pretty good translation. Amusing to read the posts complaining about the recent lack of updates too ^_^.
