This hasn't received enough attention. It's funny!
Sadly, I can't do it in Emitare, but I can in Japanese.

I guess I never made up a word for tail, so it'll take longer to translate it in Kexÿana.

Ok, then, how would various conlangs say "maako towein", and how would various conscripts write it?

In Latvian, a direct translation would be "Ja tu turi kaķi aiz astes, tu iemācies lietas, ko nevari iemācīties nekā citādi" but actually say this in "if-then" manner doesn't really make sense in Latvian so I would refrase it as this:
Turot kaķi aiz astes, var iemācīties to, ko nav iespējams iemācīties nekā citādi - Marks Tvens
hold.PART1 cat.ACC behind tail.GEN, can.3 in.PREF-learn.REFL.IMP it.ACC, what.ACC be.N in.PREF-ability.PART2 in.PREF-learn.REFL.IMP nothing.GEN different.ADV
Holding a cat behind the tail, one can learn that, which isn't possible to learn any differently
Not too big of a difference, I'd say.

Here's my go at French:
Si tu tiens un chat par la queue, tu apprends quelque-chose que tu ne peux pas apprendre autrement - Mark Twain

And to make thins a little bit interesting, let's add what at this point is my conlang, Quypothogli (or Quypoþoλı)

Quypotoglı ("old"):
Sy ty tegnes yn szatto par ell queuda, ty apregnes alquo, que ty no pıezsas apregner otromaegn – Marc Tyegnı
Quypotoλı ("new"):
Sy ty tenŋes yn шatto par ell quøda, ty aprenŋes alquo, que ty no pıeшas aprenŋer ótromǝŋ – Marc Tyeŋ

Orthography changes a lot, doesn't it?

Anyone have any translations into their conlangs? Anyone have any sound-recordings in their conlangs? How about transcriptions into their conscripts? How about morphemic glosses of the "Leipzig Glossing Rules for Interlinear Morphemic Translations" type? (don't need to be interlinear, I guess).
Best would be:
In your conscript;
In your romanization of your conlang;
A morphemic gloss;
and a sound-recording in your conlang.
Not that everybody can do all that, and even if they can, not necessary all at once. Don't be shy about posting what you have just because you don't have something else; we'd like to see what you have even if we have to wait for the rest.

And btw thanks for all the natlang transcriptions, romanizations, morphemic glosses, and recordings that have been posted!
(Wait -- has anyone posted any natlangish sound-recordings yet?)
