Hi! My native language is Spanish. I haven´t read the books in english, though I think it would be the right thing to do... Despite the fact that translations take some of the "magic" from the original writing, I enjoy the books very much!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
One thing I don´t like is when they change the names, for example Strider is called "Trancos"... owful, isn´t it? How do translators called our heroes in your native languages?
