In fact the translation here is "Un anillo para gobernarlos a todos". You translated the poem correctly, Birdland. I just wasn´t so sure about the use of govern in the english version when you wrote:
Un Anillo para gobernarlos a todos.
("One Ring for to govern all")

Regarding the "doom" word, the spanish translation would be "condenado" with a very harsh connotation. Our poem goes: "Nueve para los Hombres Mortales condenados a morir", which I think it´s ok. What about the rest of the languages?
