Recently I picked up a copy of the Hebrew translation of PS/SS. I
figured I've read it enough times in English that trying to decipher
it in another language I'm familiar with would be fun.
Aside from attracting a few odd looks on my subway ride to work, I'm
having a great time with it. Whoever did the translation was very
careful to transliterate the names appropriately, and switch the
idioms so that Israeli kids can understand the book, rather than
struggle to comprehend British slang translated into the modern
incarnation of an ancient Semitic language. :-)
So, here's my question...
Has anyone else here read any non-English translations of the HP
books? What did you think?
(Appologies if this has been discussed before, but I'm new, and
thought this'd be a good first post...)
