Norwegian translation on sale at last! -
finally released here in Norway! Summary:
Jalita and I, along with all the other Harry Potter fans living in Norway, can now pick up a copy of Order of the Phoenix in Norwegian!
Article:
The translator was on a popular Norwegian talk show last night and talked a bit about how he translated the book. He said one of the most challenging parts was to come up with names that worked as well in Norwegian as in English.
Nearly all the names have been changed to make them sound better in Norwegian. And they are so wonderfully translated, you'd think it was written for Norwegian rather than a translation of an English book!
Another cool fact is that this guy (sorry, I forgot his name - somebody help me out here if you know!) also translated the Lord of the Rings books to Norwegian. He is absolutely the master of translating fantasy books.
Go out and get your copy today!
The cover is the same as the American version.
