A relevant discussion on my journal about how I found the voice for the polylingual pirate captain in my Pirate Rabbi RPF.
Basically, I do it by analogy. I try to figure out a class of English speakers whose voice would be similar and I use that as my model, tweaking as necessary. What else can you do?
Given that fic is inherently a transformative act, I think adding translation to the act is only a change of degree, not type. Translation is itself a transformative act, and I think there's a strong kinship between performing the two tings.
