Translating Harry Potter
The Guardian today writes about the obstacles faced by Harry Potter translators such as the invented words, prophecies, rhymes, and general wordplay. The article also notes translators come under pressure in countries where the quality of second-language English is high, causing many to buy the original versions instead. Thanks, Gemma, for the tip!
