They're so cool! I honestly always thought that since they were names, they wouldn't be translated. I can't believe I didn't even think... *shakes head*

Oh, wow. Thanks for sharing that.

I can only speak English... very boring...

^I didn't think they could be translated either untill I found this thread and decided to try looking some of the names up.

This is great. But the Dutch are already there.

I know that the lord of the rings in German is: Der herr der ringe (this is a accual translation, unlike the Dutch)

German: Der Herr der Ringe
Italian: Le Signore des Anelli

There are many more ofcourse but I cán't find them. I always try to have Lotr things from other lands. I had a French schooldiary and a German calendar for 2006.
