Post Chinese students translate Deathly Hallows

A team of Chinese students successfully translated the newest Potter book, hours after the worldwide publication date.

The translation appeared on the internet hours after it was released worldwide, which is a few months before the official Chinese publication date.

The students added that they weren't to use the books for commercial purposes, and that they only translated the books because they love Potter.

Quote:
China Daily reported that teenagers on their summer holidays had purchased English-language copies of the book as soon as they hit the shelves last month, and began translating.
The official Chinese Deathly Hallows will be published in October.

Nice one!! They must be really really good at languages!!

But they should have waited for the Chinese version. but then again, why didn't they release the book in all languages at the same time? It doesn't make sense to make fans have to wait any longer.

They must be.

They're not released at the same time because that would mean having to give the book to even more people, which increases the risk of a leak.

Some people love challenges and I highly admire them for taking this risk, they ought to be careful not to leak it though. Its super if they did it for their own accomplishment per say, but not to disperse it.

Nice one Lucha

The book couldn't be read by ANYONE but those who JK allowed, it had to be realeased in English first so no translators would read it, and then the translators would get to it in English. It's just so nothing would leak BEFORE July 21st

It was sort of illegal to do that but it was a lot of hard work and I admire that.

It's pretty illegal but it's hard work to translate especially in Chinese. So, congrats to them.

That's pretty funny. They can translate faster that the professional translators.

Even though they did it because they love Harry Potter, they still shouldn't have done it seeming it's illegal.

Yeah, they must be good at languages, but it's probably not a good translation. There's a reason why the translators take so long -They're trying to do the original justice, copy JKR's style, translate the puns as good as possible
