  • Trouble in Narnia Will the film adaptation of Prince Caspian be faithful to C.S. Lewis's book? Here is Christ and Pop Culture's take.

Tolkien Ticked

Friday, February 29th, 2008

In principle I object as strongly as is possible to the ‘translation’ of the nomenclature at all (even by a competent person). I wonder why a translator should think himself called on or entitled to do any such thing. That this is an ‘imaginary’ world does not give him any right to remodel it according to his fancy, even if he could in a few months create a new coherent structure which it took me years to work out. […] May I say at once that I will not tolerate any similar tinkering with the personal nomenclature. Nor with the name/word Hobbit.

Tolkien, on the progress of the Dutch and Swedish translations of the Lord of the Rings, especially as it related to proper names (via wikipedia).
