In character names, they left out that the Spanish Crookshanks becomes Patizambo (knock-kneed?) in book 3 for one brief moment. There's a part that goes something like "Sólo era Patizambo pero ... ¿sólo era Crookshanks?"

The French translator put in so much time and thought into translating the names, while the Spanish translator opted not to translate anything:
Hogwarts (French: poudlard - pig's fleas), Spanish = Hogwarts Boggart - french: Épouvantard, Spanish: Boggart Demenentor - French: détraqueur, Spanish: dementor Sorting Hat - French: Choixpeau (Choix =choice, chapeau= hat) , Spanish: El sombrero seleccionador (selecting hat) Muggle - French: Moldu (masculine, always capitalised), Spanish: Muggle Snitch - French: le Vif d'or ("vif" = quick, brisk, vivid ; idea of speed) Spanish: la Snitch dorada Ravenclaw - French: Serdaigle, Spanish: Ravenclaw Hufflepuff - French: Poufsouffle, Spanish: Hufflepuff Slytherin - French: Serpentard, Spanish: Slytherin Edited by translator2 on 11 May 2012 at 12:19am 1 person has voted this message useful |
