By the 'repeating' do you mean that really repeated the information you posted earlier, Max? I think this is what you mean. It's ok. We get repeats sometimes. Smile

Thanks Jogusia! Try and PM Loethlin--she's also Polish and had posted and emailed me a long list of Polish translations which I still have to put up in the thesaurus. Maybe the two of you can collaborate?

Hello everyone
I’m from Denmark, and I would like to help with the translations. I know Michamoon has already translated many of the terms to Danish and promised to do the rest, but if I can be any help with some of them, just let me know. Also, the Danish translation of HBP has now been published, and though I don’t have it yet, I will be able to borrow it later, and would like to help with the terms from that as well.

Talking of that I still haven't got the French HBP! It's so expensive and I haven't got the money so I suppose the translations will have to wait!

Same for me, but I also don't have the French PoA and OotP. I'm kind of behind on my French books. Hmm.

Yes, please send me a list with the translations you haven’t done. Then I’ll see what I can do.

Same here. I probably won't buy the German translation at all *gasp* because I simply don't have the money and I can borrow it from the library. It probably will take a while until I can get my hands on one of the two library copies though. Hmm. We'll see.

Hey guys and Dutch International Diggers opgelet: the Dutch Version of Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince is out! I've already had a peek and found out that R.A.B. has been translated as R.A.Z. - you guys know what that means, knowing that the translation of Black is Zwarts!

Will be back (breaking my long pause from immeritus) with translations! Yippee!!
