Project Gutenberg has been around for many years — it was in fact, founded in 1971 (!) — and especially since the 90s, when it first went online, it has become a household name for free public domain ebooks in many different languages. Russian: Ровена Когтевран (Rovena Kogtevran) / sometimes also Кандида Когтевран (Candida Kogtevran) ['Когтевран' from коготь 'claw' + ворон 'raven'] The Harry Potter series of fantasy novels by J.K. Rowling is one of the most translated series of all time, being available in 85 languages. This includes languages with fewer than a million speakers such as Basque, Greenlandic, and Welsh, as well as the Classical languages Latin and Ancient Greek. Additionally, regional adaptations of the books have been made to accommodate regional dialects such as the American English edition or the Valencian adaptation of Catalan.

Issues arising in the translation of Harry Potter include cultural references, riddles, anticipating future plot points, and Rowling's creative names for characters and other elements in the magical world which often involve word play and phonology.

I must also commend the acting. The young leads have all matured in pace with the maturing content of the books and their acting shows it. Rupert Grint shines brightly in the somewhat Shakespearean love comedy he finds himself in, and makes the most of his new-found sport hero popularity. Emma Watson hits the spot, portraying Hermione's emotional vulnerability with gentle confidence and softness. bornmeer. "Nijntje, Kikkert, Kameleon yn it Frysk, Lida Dykstra". Bornmeer.nl .

German: Krone (literaly means "crown", though red deer with a certain form of their antlers are also called "Kronhirsch") Nonstandard English present in the book also had to be given careful consideration. The character Rubeus Hagrid's West Country dialect, for example, needed to be rendered in other languages to reflect the fact that he speaks with an accent and uses particular types of slang. [245] In the Japanese translation, he speaks in the Tōhoku dialect, which to a Japanese reader conveys a similar provincial feel. [246] [247] The same was done in Ukrainian translation where Hagrid speaks a mixture of Western Ukrainian dialects.
