I'm trying to compilea list of the non-English titles and their (literal) English translations for The Light of the Evenstar, as I can't find a good list of them. Unfortunately, LotR has been translated into about 38 different languages.

So, do you guys know of any? You would be credited, of course. I need the language, the title in that language (including all special symbols, and if the title does not used the Roman alphabet, the title in that alphabet plus a Romanization of the name), and the literal English translation.

For example, the Spanish title (which I figured out on my own, please tell me if its wrong!)

Language: Spanish | Title: El Señor de los Anillos | Translation: The Man of the Rings

And for titles that don't use the Roman alphabet, like Japanese, it would be like this:

Language: Japanese | Title: (Japanese characters title) (Romanized title) | Translation: (Translation

I am trying to get translations of the titles or both the series and their individual books. So I ned translations for: The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.

Help is, again much appreciated, and you will be credited! (I will not be requiring translations for Spanish, French, or German, but I will post them here for posible correction, when I get them.)

Thanks in advance-I'm sure a list like this would be very helpful to LotR fans!
