Harri Potter maen yr Athronydd (Welsh language edition)

Product Information

The Harry Potter series presents many challenges to translators, such as rhymes, acronyms, dialects, culture, riddles, jokes, invented words, and plot points that revolve around spellings or initials. These have been dealt with by various translators with different degrees of modification to the meaning of the original text. Norwegian: Topptillitsmann/Topptillitskvinne ( topp = "top", tillit = "trust", kvinne = "woman", mann = "man") Slovenian: Plašč nevidnosti (note: in book six the new translator changed it to: nevidnostno ogrinjalo)

Some translations, such as those to the dead Latin and Ancient Greek languages, were done as academic exercises, to stimulate interest in the languages and to provide students of those languages with modern reading texts. The Ancient Greek version, according to the translator, is the longest text written in Ancient Greek since the novels of Heliodorus of Emesa in the 3rd century AD, and took about a year to complete.

[4] 1990–1991 [ ] The impatience of the international Harry Potter fan community for translations of the books has led to the proliferation of unauthorised or pirate translations that are often hastily translated and posted on the internet chapter-by-chapter, or printed by small presses and sold illegally. The work may be done by multiple translators to speed the process. Such translations are often poorly written and riddled with errors.

People buy houses for a number of reasons: budget, location and lifestyle to name but a few.

The high profile and demand for a high-quality local translation means that a great deal of care is often taken in the task. In some countries, such as Italy, the first book was revised by the publishers and issued in an updated edition in response to readers who complained about the quality of the first translation. [ citation needed] In countries such as China and Portugal, the translation is conducted by a group of translators working together to save time. [ citation needed] Some of the translators hired to work on the books were well known before their work on Harry Potter, such as Viktor Golyshev, who oversaw the Russian translation of the series' fifth book. Golyshev was renowned for his translations of William Faulkner and George Orwell, [4] and was known to snub the Harry Potter books in interviews and refer to them as inferior literature. [ citation needed] The Turkish translation of books two to five was undertaken by Sevin Okyay, a popular literary critic and cultural commentator. [5] Croatian: Č.A.S.
