Well, it sounds waaaaaaaaaay better in Russian, even with the changes, than on the translation I provided. The only thing I ws really confused about (before I read LOTR n English) was why Boromir says "than this is the last hour of Minas Tirith" (the line translated from my Russian copy). I figured out in the end that the original poem had to contain something about "doom" or "last hour" or something like that, and the translator left it out. It took me a while, though.
Does the Finnish version translate more accurately?
