Competition: Translatocryptography?

Finished
Translatocryptography?

Sorry for the name of the comp. I couldn’t think of decent name so I just mashed the words “translate” and “cryptography” together. Maybe I should have held a comp…to name the comp?

Anyway, here’s a little something for you puzzle lovers out there. The object of the comp is to translate the text(s) and then decipher the translation. Sounds simple enough? Well, there’s just one more thing to do. Each piece of the text that needs to be translated and deciphered could ultimately reveal a riddle, famous quote, trivia question, etc., so the last step is to solve.

Be the first to correctly translate, decipher, and solve the text(s) and you win! But be careful! This is a timed event and you will need to provide the fully translated and deciphered text(s) including the answers! Make your submissions in the form of .txt, .rtf, .doc, .docx, or paste your answers in the text box provided.
