 JKRowling.com turns Japanese and wins an award! - J.K Rowling's another Big Sucess! Summary:
To coincide with the Sept. 1 release of the Japanese version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, author JK Rowling's official site now also has a Japanese edition. Article: Quote: Phoenix flew into bookstores in Japan with a record first printing of 2.9 million, outpacing the previous novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by almost 600,000. JapanToday.com reported that it generally takes the official translator about a year to convert from the English edition.
Some bookstores opened at 5 a.m. and Yuko Matsuoka, the translator (see picture), spent the day handing out copies at various metropolitan stores. In addition to the big release, Macromedia (which makes the technology used in Rowling's site) has named JKRowling.com today's Site of the Day! It was designed by Lightmaker Group and this is the company's ninth time on the list for one of its sites:
Lightmaker worked very closely with J.K. Rowling to give an accurate portrayal of her world. The user has to hunt for content in many areas of the website, as well as discover hidden and secret info where they can.
Thanks to Harrylatino.com for the tip and HPANA for the translation.  | |

I'm not surprised it won an award, JKR.com is such a good site and you can tell they designed it with great care & love for details ... actually, it's also the reason for my being here on Snitchseeker; I got stuck with the riddles on JKR's site (too hard for me, I only got a college degree, you know!  ), so I was looking for help on the internet and ended up in a forum here.

What a nice story!
I must buy one of those Japanese-translated books to further my knowledge in Japanese. . . *will stalk a tourist that I would see carrying a Japanese OotP book*
Thanks for the info! :sorcerer:

Yep, it is a beautifully made web site....
It is made in such a way, where it never gets boring and old because there are so many things to look at!
