Hi everybody..

inspired from fpw´s post in "my so called life" ...

Quote:8/7 - just received the new German edition of Reborn. They're calling it ERWECKUNG. I'm told that means "resurrected." Close enough. Lots of times they change the title without telling me. I can see that with something like ALL THE RAGE, which was a play on the English expression (they called it TOLLWUTIG), but why change HOSTS to TODESFREQUENZ?

.. im asking you guys if there are any funny translations in other languages then german.

The funniest translation of all is that the german publishers changed repairmanjack into handymanjack.


i´m looking forward to your reply.

I guess if he's a mobilephone, he'd be a Tracfone.
