 >Does anybody know more about translations into Yiddish?

I will poke around a bit and see what I can find on Yiddish 
translations.  NYU and I think Brandeis have fine Yiddish departments, I 
thin there are more, and they might know.  By about 1900, nearly 
everything had been translated into Yiddish, as part of the haskalah 
movement.  For reasons I don't know, the Yiddish stage was especially 
vibrant.

 >What is a "twiglet" ?

It's a kind of savoury biscuit, shaped like - well, a twig! I quite like 
them.

Twiglet: what the English truly prefer to fill the pretzel-spaped 
snack-space. Looks like a twig, tastes of Marmite (qv)
