Learn about how translators tackled translating the infamous Harry Potter character names, spells and iconic locations like Hogwarts and Diagon Alley into different languages.
Apr 17, 2020 · Despite the process, a Reddit user named u/etymologynerd who claims to be a Harvard linguistics student, decided to dissect the meaning of some our favorite characters from the Harry Potter...
These words were translated in different countries using several translation strategies, such as copying the names with no attempt to transmit the original English meaning, transliterating even if the name lost its original meaning, replacing the name with another given name from the target language, or translating the name using native words ...
But the name Lestrange here comes more from the old french form of "étrange" (meaning the weird one, the strange one, even a little disturbing) than from stranger/foreigner. In French Lestrange for a piece of witch like Bellatrix sounds for us french speakers like a typical wizard name that came from suspicious muggles in Middle Ages.
