FUNNY GAME TO DO WITH NAMES AND SURNAMES! Oct 31, 2013

Hi!

I am an Italian young woman. I never translate streets, paintings, names from ITALIAN to ENGLISH.

QUOTATION:
"Boban Stevanovski wrote:
It could to be funny if you try to translate (some) foreign name, especially name of street, people, cities, etc".

I totally agree with Boban and the most part of you! I enjoy myself with this "funny game"!

Like in the Harry Potter translations into French. The translator turned Hogwarts into Poudlard and found or made up French words for Muggles, Death Eaters, etc. Mostly quite brilliant. I don't know why he stopped short of Henri Lepotier though.
