Hickengruendler:

Just a minor point: Dutch is not the same language as "Deutsch". 
Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands and "Deutsch" is the german word 
for "german". I just wanted to say this because the german 
translation will be released tomorrow (in nine hours, to be exact) 
and I don't want anyone here to have high hopes, that it might clear 
the R.A.B. mystery. Sirius Black is "Sirius Black" in the german 
edition and not translated. Therefore Regulus' name won't be 
translated either. Only very few names are translated in the german 
edition:

Hermione Granger became Hermine Granger, Rita Skeeter became Rita 
Kimmkorn and Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank because Wilhelmina Raue-
Pritsche.
