I am from Sweden, and have read the books in Swedish only (though, I am always searching for the books in English, and have read bits of them), and....... Well, frankly speaking, most of the translation is crap really. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] It´s the translators fault, as he (obviously) wanted to add his "own atmosphere" to the books. So he changed some things, which he thought sounded better..... [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] And so on and so on....
I can stand it (but I get annoyed quite often), though....I want a new translation!
