List of Harry Potter translations

The ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series of [[fantasy novel]]s by [[J. K. Rowling]] is one of the [[List of literary works by number of translations|most translated series of all time]], being available in 85 languages. This includes languages with fewer than a million speakers such as [[Basque language|Basque]], [[Greenlandic language|Greenlandic]], and [[Welsh language|Welsh]], as well as the [[Classical language]]s [[Latin]] and [[Ancient Greek]]. Additionally, regional adaptations of the books have been made to accommodate [[regional dialect]]s such as the [[American English]] edition and the [[Valencian language|Valencian]] adaptation of [[Catalan language|Catalan]].

For reasons of secrecy, translations were only allowed to begin after each book had been published in English, creating a lag of several months for readers of other languages. Impatient fans in many places simply bought the book in English instead. ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' became the first English language book to top France's best-seller list. In some cases, fans have created their own unofficial translations, either ahead of a licensed translation or when a licensed translation is unavailable.

Issues arising in the translation of ''Harry Potter'' include cultural references, riddles, anticipating future plot points, and Rowling's creative names for characters and other elements in the magical world which often involve [[word play]] and phonology.

== Translation process == For an authorised translation, the publisher must first negotiate and sign a contract with Rowling's agents, [[Neil Blair (agent)|The Blair Partnership]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/links_cl.cfm |title=J.

So as to prevent plots being leaked, translators were not granted access to the books before their official release date in English; hence, translation could start only after the English editions had been published, creating a lag of several months before the translations were made available. This necessary delay has boosted the sales of English language editions of the books to impatient fans, in countries where English is not the first language. Such was the clamour to read the fifth book that its English edition became the first English-language book ever to top the bookseller list in France.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/world/newsid_3036000/3036350.stm|publisher=BBC|title=OOTP is best seller in France – in English!|date=1 July 2003}}</ref> In Italy, impatient Potter fans organised "Operation Feather", deluging the publisher Salani with feathers (reminiscent of Hogwarts' messenger owls) to demand expedited publication for the Italian translation of the seventh and final book in the series.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Naughton |first1=Philippe |last2=Sage |first2=Adam |date=2007-10-12 |title=Who won the race to translate 'Harry Potter'? review |publisher=Times Newspapers Ltd. |location=London |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/children/article2645098.ece |url-status=dead |access-date=2022-07-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080512001211/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/children/article2645098.ece |archive-date=2008-05-12}}</ref> This has also caused unauthorised translations and fake versions of the books to appear in many countries.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

The high profile and demand for a high-quality local translation means that a great deal of care is often taken in the task. In some countries, such as Italy, the first book was revised by the publishers and issued in an updated edition in response to readers who complained about the quality of the first translation.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} In countries such as China and Portugal, the translation is conducted by a group of translators working together to save time.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} Some of the translators hired to work on the books were well known before their work on Harry Potter, such as [[Viktor Golyshev]], who oversaw the [[Russian language|Russian]] translation of the series' fifth book. Golyshev was renowned for his translations of [[William Faulkner]] and [[George Orwell]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Translating Harry – Part I: The Language of Magic|author=Steven Goldstein|url=http://www.globalbydesign.com/resources/articles/translating_harry_potter_part1.html|work=GlobalByDesign|year=2004|access-date=2007-05-09|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070306025320/http://www.globalbydesign.com/resources/articles/translating_harry_potter_part1.html|archive-date=6 March 2007}}</ref> and was known to snub the Harry Potter books in interviews and refer to them as inferior literature.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} The [[Turkish language|Turkish]] translation of books two to five was undertaken by [[Sevin Okyay]], a popular literary critic and cultural commentator.<ref>{{cite web|title=Not lost in translation: Harry Potter in Turkish|author=Emrah Güler|url=http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=29054|year=2005|access-date=2007-05-09|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930171135/http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=29054|archive-date=30 September 2007}}</ref>

Some translations, such as those to the [[Language death|dead]] Latin and [[Ancient Greek]] languages, were done as academic exercises, to stimulate interest in the languages and to provide students of those languages with modern reading texts. The Ancient Greek version, according to the translator, is the longest text written in Ancient Greek since the novels of [[Heliodorus of Emesa]] in the 3rd century AD, and took about a year to complete.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://playalicious.com/reference/news/greek_harry.html |title=Harry Potter?

== List of translations by language == The original [[British English]] versions of the book were published in the United Kingdom by [[Bloomsbury Publishing|Bloomsbury]]. Note that in some countries, such as Spain and India, the series has been translated into several local languages; sometimes the book has been translated into two dialects of the same language in two countries (for example, separate Portuguese versions for Brazil and Portugal).

== Unauthorised translations == The impatience of the international Harry Potter fan community for translations of the books has led to the proliferation of unauthorised or [[Copyright infringement|pirate]] translations that are often hastily translated and posted on the internet chapter-by-chapter, or printed by small presses and sold illegally. The work may be done by multiple translators to speed the process. Such translations are often poorly written and riddled with errors.

A team translated ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'' into Chinese three days after its English release. A director at [[People's Literature Publishing House]], who obtained the official license, worried that the unauthorised translations would lead to the spread of [[Copyright infringement|pirated copies]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-08/09/content_6500798.htm |title=Online translations of "Harry Potter" draw fire |publisher=News.xinhuanet.com |access-date=2008-12-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090504041532/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-08/09/content_6500798.htm |archive-date=4 May 2009}}</ref>

One notable case involved a French 16-year-old who published serialised translations of ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'' online. He was arrested and his site was later shut down; however, the wife of the official translator noted that these works do not necessarily hurt the official translation.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/aug/08/france.harrypotter |title=Harry Potter and the boy wizard translator &#124; World news &#124; guardian.co.uk |publisher=guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 8 August 2007 17.51 BST |access-date=2008-12-12 | location=London | date=2007-08-09 | first=Kim | last=Willsher}}</ref>

Another example occurred in Venezuela in 2003, when an illegal translation of the fifth book, ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', appeared soon after the release of the English version and five months before the scheduled release of the Spanish translation. The pirate translation was apparently so bad that the translator added messages, including "Here comes something that I'm unable to translate, sorry," and "I'm sorry, I didn't understand what that meant" in some sections. Two people were arrested in connection with the pirated version.<ref>{{cite news | title = Potter Pirate Sorry for Mistakes | work = BBC News | date = 3 September 2003 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3079032.stm | access-date = 2007-02-18 }}</ref>

Another case involved the Internet [[fan translation]] community, ''Harry auf Deutsch'', formed to translate the Harry Potter books into German more rapidly.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.harry-auf-deutsch.de/ |title=Harry auf Deutsch :: Projekt-Übersicht der Harry Potter Übersetzung(en) |publisher=Harry-auf-deutsch.de |access-date=2008-12-12}}</ref> The German publisher of the Harry Potter books, [[Carlsen Verlag]], filed a [[cease and desist]] against the fan translators; they complied, taking down the translations.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/906048.stm |title=BBC News &#124; SCI/TECH &#124; Harry Potter and the German pirates |work=BBC News |access-date=2008-12-12 | date=2000-09-01}}</ref>

In some countries, where there were no authorised translations into the local language, translations not sanctioned by J. K. Rowling were prepared and published. Such was the case, for example, in [[Sri Lanka]], where the books had been unofficially translated into [[Sinhala language|Sinhala]] and possibly into [[Tamil language|Tamil]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Harry Potter to fly into Sri Lanka under tight security|author=Dilshani Samaraweera|work=Lanka Business Online|url=http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fullstory.php?newsID=1862492683&no_view=1&SEARCH_TERM=11|year=2005|access-date=2007-06-05|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070620024315/http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fullstory.php?newsID=1862492683&no_view=1&SEARCH_TERM=11|archive-date=20 June 2007}}</ref> Authorised translations into both Sinhala and Tamil have since been published.<ref name="sinhala"/><ref name="tamil"/>

In [[Iran]], several unauthorised translations of the Harry Potter books exist side by side. According to one source, there may be as many as 16 Persian translations in existence concurrently.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.payvand.com/news/08/may/1220.html |title=Iranian translators should observe guild's rights: Vida Eslamieh |publisher=Payvand.com |access-date=2008-12-12 |archive-date=29 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080529133512/http://www.payvand.com/news/08/may/1220.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Iran is not a member of the [[Universal Copyright Convention]], so publishers are not prosecuted for publishing foreign books without respecting copyright or paying royalties.<ref>{{cite web|title=Iran's Potter fans join frenzy over wizard's fate|author=AFP|work=Middle East Times|url=http://www.metimes.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20070721-091316-1672r|year=2007|access-date=2007-07-21}}{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

A team consisting of seven [[Esperantist]] volunteers completed the translation of ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'' into [[Esperanto]] (under the title ''Hari Poter kaj la ŝtono de la saĝuloj'') in 2004. Rowling's representatives did not respond to offers from [[Esperanto-USA]] to make the translation available for publication. An online petition aimed at raising interest in the Esperanto translation has obtained support from approximately 800 individuals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hp-esperanto.com/?lang=en|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010051152/http://www.hp-esperanto.com/?lang=en|url-status=dead|title=HomePage of Esperanto -|archivedate=10 October 2007}}</ref>

Agents representing J. K. Rowling have stated in the past that they cannot and do not intend to prevent individuals from translating Rowling's books for their own personal enjoyment, as long as the results are not made available to the general public.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web |url=http://msl1.mit.edu/furdlog/docs/nytimes/2003-07-14_nytimes_h_potter.pdf |title=Harry Potter and the Internet Pirates |author=Amy Harmon |date=14 July 2003 |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=19 August 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160220094209/http://msl1.mit.edu/furdlog/docs/nytimes/2003-07-14_nytimes_h_potter.pdf |archive-date=20 February 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Fake translations == {{See also|Legal disputes over the Harry Potter series#International publications}} Whereas "pirate translations" are unauthorised translations of true Harry Potter books, "fake translations" have also appeared, which are published [[pastiche]]s or [[fan fiction|fanfics]] that a foreign publisher has tried to pass off as the translation of the real book by Rowling. There have been several such books, including ''Harry Potter and Bao Zoulong'' which was written and published in China in 2002 before the release of the fifth book in Rowling's series, ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''.

Other fake Harry Potter books written in Chinese include ''Harry Potter and the Porcelain Doll'' (哈利・波特与瓷娃娃 or Hālì Bōtè yǔ Cíwáwa),<ref>{{Cite web | title=Harry Potter and the Porcelain Doll (Ci Wawa) | url=http://www.cjvlang.com/Hpotter/miscellaneous/ciwawa.html | access-date=2025-09-16 | website=www.cjvlang.com}}</ref> ''Harry Potter and the Golden Turtle'', and ''Harry Potter and the Crystal Vase''.<ref>Leifer, Andrew.

== Regional adaptations == It is a common practice within the publishing industry to make minor changes in the text of books written in one region for publication in other regions.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} For example, there are a number of differences in British and American English spelling conventions; generally publishers change the spellings to conform to the expectations of their target market. Adaptation may also extend to vocabulary or grammatical choices that might impair legibility or impart some cognitive dissonance. Readers usually would not be aware of the adaptations, but the choice to change the title of the American edition of the first ''Harry Potter'' book from ''Harry Potter and the '''Philosopher's''' Stone'' to ''Harry Potter and the '''Sorcerer's''' Stone'' highlighted the practice and drew considerable attention.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

The book's title was changed due to the American publisher's concern that children would be confused by a reference to philosophy. Other translations have also changed the first book's title, for instance, the French translation which changed ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'' to ''Harry Potter at the School of Wizards'' for the same reason as the American translation, citing that the reference to the philosopher's stone legend was "too obscure for a book aimed at the youth."<ref>{{Cite journal |title = The Translator's 'Magic' Wand: Harry Potter's Journey from English into French|journal = Meta: Journal des traducteurs / Meta: Translators' Journal|volume = 51|issue = 3|pages = 459–481|year = 2006|last1 = Feral|first1 = Anne-Lise|doi = 10.7202/013553ar|doi-access = free}}</ref>

Other translations also have regional adaptations that have largely gone without much notice. The Spanish translation has been adapted to three regions: Europe, Latin America and [[Southern Cone]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.potterglot.net/harry-potter-and-the-spanish-tykes/|title=Harry Potter and the Spanish Tykes|access-date=2018-03-06}}{{unreliable source?|date=July 2022}}</ref> Other translations have adaptations that were published seemingly to enhance the identity of minority communities of speakers: [[Montenegrin language|Montenegrin]] (an adaptation of [[Serbian language|Serbian]]) and [[Valencian language|Valencian]] (an adaptation of [[Catalan language|Catalan]]). It is worth noting that some translations were completed when adaptations possibly would have been sufficient; for example, any of the [[Serbian language|Serbian]], [[Croatian language|Croatian]] or [[Bosnian language|Bosnian]] translations could have been adapted for each region.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

A comprehensive list of differences between the American and British editions of the books is collected at [[the Harry Potter Lexicon]] website.<ref>{{cite web|author=Edward Olson |url=http://www.hp-lexicon.org/about/books/cs/differences-cs.html |title=HPL: Differences: CS |publisher=Hp-lexicon.org |date= 29 October 2001|access-date=2008-12-12}}</ref> The changes are mostly simple lexical switches to reflect the [[Comparison of American and British English|different dialects]] and prevent American readers from stumbling over unfamiliar [[Glossary of British terms not widely used in the United States|Briticism]]s. Although it is common to adapt ''any'' text from British to American editions,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uta.fi/FAST/US1/REF/potter.html |title=FAST-US-1 Intro to American English Reference File |publisher=Uta.fi |access-date=2008-12-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150319041313/http://www15.uta.fi/FAST/US1/REF/potter.html |archive-date=19 March 2015}}</ref> in the case of the ''Harry Potter'' books, this standard practice has drawn criticism from readers who feel that the British English adds flavour to the series.<ref>{{cite news | last = Gleick | first = Peter H. | title = Harry Potter, Minus a Certain Flavour | work = The New York Times| date = 10 July 2000 | url = https://www.nytimes.com/books/00/07/23/specials/rowling-gleick.html | access-date = 2007-01-22 }}</ref> Rowling herself expressed regret over changing the first book's title, as the [[philosopher's stone]] is a legendary alchemical substance.

In an [[Associated Press]] interview, Rowling described how the alterations to the American editions came about:{{blockquote|Rowling pretended to bang her head against the sofa in mock frustration. "SO much has been made of that," she groans, noting that it was only done where words had been used that really meant something very different to Americans. Her American editor pointed out that the word jumper – British for pullover sweater – means a kind of dress in American. She had had no idea. "He asked, 'Can we change it to sweater,' which is just as British?" That was fine with Rowling.<ref>{{cite news | last = Woods | first = Audrey | title = Success Stuns Harry Potter Author | agency = Associated Press | date = 6 July 2000}}</ref>}}

Publisher Arthur Levine of [[Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic]] explained the changes in an interview with ''[[The New Yorker]]'':{{blockquote|I wasn't trying to, quote, "Americanize" them... What I was trying to do is translate, which I think is different. I wanted to make sure that an American kid reading the book would have the same literary experience that a British kid would have.<ref name="Radosh">{{cite news | last = Radosh | first = Daniel | title = Why American kids don't consider Harry Potter an insufferable prig | magazine = The New Yorker | date = 20 September 1999 | url = http://www.radosh.net/writing/potter.html}}</ref>}}

The same article, however, points out that some British dialect was retained in the books, and in some cases certain phrases were replaced with more recognizable British phrases, such as "spanking good" for "cracking."<ref name="Radosh"/>

== Difficulties in translation ==

=== Translation strategies === The books carried a number of words that are considered ''loaded names'' by linguists and translators, meaning that they carry a [[semantic]] load, and that their [[Morphology (linguistics)|morphology]] (structure) and [[phonology]] (sound) need to be adapted when translating them to a foreign language, for example the house names (Ravenclaw = [[raven]] + [[claw]]), or Voldemort's name ("flight of death" or "theft of death" in French).<ref name="lincoln">{{cite journal | journal = [[New Voices in Translation Studies]] | title = Translation of Names in Children's Fantasy Literature: Bringing the Young Reader into Play | author = Lincoln Fernandes | issue = 2 | year = 2006 | url = http://www.iatis.org/newvoices/issues/2006/fernandes-paper-2006.pdf | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090419092822/http://www.iatis.org/newvoices/issues/2006/fernandes-paper-2006.pdf | archive-date = 19 April 2009}} (page 6 on pdf)</ref> 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, ''[[transliteration|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 that conveyed the same meaning.<ref name="lincoln"/><ref name="russian">{{cite journal | journal = [[Meta (journal)|Meta: Translators' Journal]] | title = From Harry to Garri: Strategies for the Transfer of Culture and Ideology in Russian Translations of Two English Fantasy Stories | author = Judith Inggs | volume = 48 | issue = 1–2 Traduction pour les enfants / Translation for children | date = May 2003 | pages = 285–297 | doi=10.7202/006975ar| doi-access = | s2cid = 145173155 }}</ref> For example, in the Russian first book the transliterating strategy was used for some names because the "th" sound does not exist in Russian, so "Slytherin" was transliterated as "Slizerin". The translator of the second book chose the translating strategy instead, and she renamed the houses, "Hufflepuff" becoming "Puffendui" and "Ravenclaw" becoming "Kogtevran" (from the Russian word for claw, "kogot'"). In the Italian editions, the house names were changed to animal-colour pairings: Gryffindor is "Grifondoro" ("grifon d'oro" means "golden [[griffin]]"), Slytherin is "Serpeverde" ("serpe verde" means "green snake"), Ravenclaw was, in the first edition of the first book, "Pecoranera" ("pecora nera", "black sheep"), but was then changed to "Corvonero" ("corvo nero", "black raven") and Hufflepuff is "Tassorosso" ("tasso rosso", "red badger") in the first translation and the films and "Tassofrasso" in the revisited translation.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.potterpedia.it/?v=Traduzioni_Rivisitate:_Tassorosso_e_Tassofrasso | title=Traduzioni Rivisitate: Tassorosso e Tassofrasso }}</ref> In the French translation, the name "Hogwarts" is changed to "Poudlard", which means "bacon lice".<ref name="tab"/>

Marketers of Harry Potter-themed toys pressured translators not to change the names of people and things so that they could call the toys by the same name in different countries.<ref name=":0"/>

=== Culture and language === Many of the nuances of British culture and language will be unfamiliar to international readers. Such things require careful and creative translating. For the Hebrew translation, some of the Christian references were changed, because Israelis have less familiarity with cultural Christianity than readers elsewhere: a scene in which Sirius Black sings a parody of "[[God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen]]" replaced the song with a parody of "[[Hanukkah music#Mi Y'malel|Mi Y'malel]]," a Chanukah song;<ref name="harryhebrew"/> on the other hand, in the Yiddish translation, translator Arun Viswanath retained all the Christian references, feeling that his readership would be familiar enough with them.<ref name="YID_Forward"/> In the French translation, explanations of certain features of British schools unfamiliar to French students were inserted in the dialogues (e.g., "Prefect" and "Head Boy"), but they were not distinguished from explanations in the original text of differences between ordinary British schools and wizarding schools. This could mislead readers into thinking that these features of the house and boarding systems did not exist in real-world British schools.<ref name="feral">{{citation |title= The Translator's "Magic" Wand: Harry Potter's Journey from English into French |author= Anne-Lise Feral |work= Translators' Journal |volume= 51 |issue= 3 |year= 2006 |pages= 459–481 |url= http://www.erudit.org/revue/meta/2006/v51/n3/013553ar.pdf}}</ref>

Nonstandard English present in the book also had to be given careful consideration. The character [[Rubeus Hagrid]]'s [[West Country dialect]], for example, needed to be rendered in other languages to reflect the fact that he speaks with an accent and uses particular types of slang.<ref name="swedishbookreview1">{{cite web|url=http://www.swedishbookreview.com/old/2002s-gedin.html |title=Translation – Swedish Book Review 2002 Supplement |publisher=Swedishbookreview.com |access-date=2008-12-12 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071113193027/http://www.swedishbookreview.com/old/2002s-gedin.html |archive-date = 13 November 2007}}</ref> In the Japanese translation, he speaks in the [[Tōhoku dialect]], which to a Japanese reader conveys a similar provincial feel.<ref>[http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/rc20030730a2.html 'Potter' makes Tohokuites proud], Masayuki Aihara, [[Japan Times]], 30 July 2003{{dead link|date=October 2019|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Hani |first1=Yoko |title=From mourning to 'magic' |url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2004/01/04/general/from-mourning-to-magic/ |access-date=1 October 2019 |work=[[The Japan Times]] |date=4 January 2004}}</ref> The same was done in Ukrainian translation where Hagrid speaks a mixture of [[Ukrainian dialects|Western Ukrainian dialects]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.unian.ua/society/269770-viktor-morozov-zavdyaki-ukrajinskomu-garri-potteru-u-ditey-vidbuvayutsya-mentalni-zmini.html|title=Віктор Морозов: Завдяки українському Гаррі Поттеру у дітей відбуваються ментальні зміни|website=www.unian.ua}}</ref> In the Yiddish translation, translator Arun Viswanath attempted to mirror Rowling's use of regional British dialects using [[Yiddish dialects]]. <blockquote>"I tried to transpose the wizarding world onto a map of the Yiddish-speaking world" — pre World War II — "without making the characters Jewish. Filch speaks in a thick Lithuanian Yiddish accent and doesn’t pronounce the 'sh' sound, so he says sabes instead of shabes, and Hagrid, who despises him and speaks a very distinct rural English, speaks in a thick, almost exaggerated Polish Yiddish. I thought this was a good approach because it helps show the tension between them. As for Snape and McGonagall, well, they’re Litvaks. They just are."<ref name="YID_Forward"/></blockquote>

Some translations changed foods that appeared in the book into foods more common in the culture of their target audience in order to be more recognisable and relatable. The Hebrew translation of the scene where Dumbledore offers Professor McGonagall a lemon sherbet had him offer her a [[Krembo]], a popular Israeli treat, instead. According to the Hebrew translator, "the point of the lemon sherbets is to tell us something about Dumbledore’s character in that this wise old wizard with a long white beard carries around a children’s treat in his pocket. The equivalent children’s dessert in Israel is the krembo. If I’d translated it as a lemon sucking candy, it wouldn’t have imparted the same image of Dumbledore."<ref name="harryhebrew"/> The Arabic translation, which was written with a predominantly Muslim audience in mind, omitted references to food and drink forbidden by Islam. All references to pork and bacon were replaced with eggs and all references to alcoholic beverages were replaced with water, except in the case of the Death Eaters, who are villains.<ref name=gallatin>{{Cite web|url=https://confluence.gallatin.nyu.edu/context/interdisciplinary-seminar/harry-potter-and-the-language-of-magic|title=Harry Potter and the Language of Magic – Confluence|date=27 February 2019 }}</ref> However, the Hebrew translation left in place references to bacon despite reader complaints that such products violated the laws of [[Kashrut]], with the translator justifying it on the basis that the characters were not Jewish.<ref name="harryhebrew"/> The Chinese translation keeps the word "cornflakes" and has a footnote explaining what cornflakes are.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=TRANSLATION Harry Potter|url=https://www.wordsandpics.org/2019/11/translations-Harry-Potter.html|access-date=2020-09-19|website=Words & Pictures}}</ref>

As the Arabic translators were seeking to cater to religiously conservative readers, they also removed every reference to characters kissing, even on the cheek, and had them wave instead.<ref name=gallatin/>

Several other terms were translated to create cultural references for the target audience. For example, the "golden snitch" from [[Quidditch]] is rendered as "goldene flaterl" (golden butterfly) in the Yiddish translation, butterflies being a common symbol in Yiddish folktales.<ref name="tab"/> Similarly, the Snatchers, a group of people who capture Muggle-born wizards and other enemies of the Death Eater regime and hand them over for money following Voldemort's takeover of the Ministry of Magic, were referred to as [[Szmalcownicy]] in the Polish translation, in reference to Poles who sold out Jews to the Nazis for money during the [[Holocaust]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://hogsmeade.pl/articles.php?article_id=314|title=Szmalcownicy - Artykuły - Harry Potter - Hogsmeade, Twoja Magiczna Wioska|language=pl}}</ref>

The title of the seventh book, ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', proved particularly difficult to translate into different languages. Rowling solved the problem by providing translators with an alternate title: ''Harry Potter and the Relics of Death''. This became the basis for most translations of the title.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Harry Potter and the Translator's Challenge|url=https://www.open.edu/openlearn/languages/learning-languages/harry-potter-and-the-translators-challenge|access-date=2020-12-10|website=OpenLearn}}</ref>

Languages with different word order than English presented challenges when a character begins speaking and is interrupted before finishing. For instance, in ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', Ron Weasley asks his mother "Why in the name of Merlin's saggy left..." before his father cuts him off and scolds him for talking to her that way. In other languages, such as Hebrew, nouns come before modifier adjectives, but as it is never revealed what noun Ron intended to use, it proved difficult to translate without significant guesswork.<ref name="harryhebrew" />

=== Rhymes, anagrams, and acronyms === The series involves many songs, poems, and rhymes, some of which proved difficult to translators.<ref>{{cite news|author=Close |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/jan/27/featuresreviews.guardianreview17 |title=Daniel Hahn: Translating involves art as well as craft |work=The Guardian |access-date=2008-12-12 | location=London | date=2007-01-26}}</ref> One rhyme, a riddle told by a [[sphinx]] in ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'', posed a particular problem.{{#tag:ref|{{cite web |url=http://www.iti.org.uk/pdfs/newPDF/HarryPotter.pdf |title=The Sphinx's Song in 13 Languages |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060210034224/http://www.iti.org.uk/pdfs/newPDF/HarryPotter.pdf |archive-date=2006-02-10}}|group="note"}} The riddle involves taking words from a poem and using them to form a longer word, "spider," in answer to the riddle. In the Taiwanese translation, the English words are simply put in parentheses.<ref>{{cite web|author=Greg Pringle |url=http://www.cjvlang.com/Hpotter/unicode/sphinxriddle.html |title=The Sphinx's Riddle in the CJV translations of Harry Potter (Book 4) |publisher=Cjvlang.com |access-date=2008-12-12}}</ref> In other translations, the riddle is changed to provide different words that can be put together to make up the translated version of "spider".

Some acronyms also proved difficult; the abbreviations "O.W.L.s" (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) and "N.E.W.T.s" (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests) needed to be translated to reflect the fact that their abbreviations spelled out the names of animals associated with the wizarding world, which did not always work in other languages. "N.E.W.T.s" was translated into Swedish as "F.U.T.T." (Fruktansvärt Utmattande Trollkarls-Test, Terribly Exhausting Wizard's Test). "Futt" means "measly" in Swedish.<ref name="swedishbookreview1"/>

Other challenging names in the series include the Mirror of Erised ("desire" backwards) and [[Voldemort]]'s real name. In the latter's case, the name is an [[anagram]] based on the character's birth name, Tom Marvolo Riddle, which is rearranged to spell "I am Lord Voldemort". This has required translators to alter Riddle's name to make the anagram work. Sometimes translators manage to alter only one part of the name whereas others have replaced the entire name to preserve the anagram.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} Other translations, such as the Taiwanese Chinese and Japanese versions, sidestepped the issue altogether by displaying the main text of the anagram in English and added in the meaning in brackets beside it. The Vietnamese version displayed the original anagram in English and added a footnote.<ref name="cjv-anagram">{{cite web |title=Tom Marvolo Riddle |url=http://www.cjvlang.com/Hpotter/wordplay/riddle.html |website=CJVlang.com |access-date=29 December 2019}}</ref>

=== Invented words, proper nouns, and names === Rowling invented a great number of words and phrases for the books such as spells, incantations, magical words, items, and place names. Many of these words involve [[word play]], rhyming, and historical references that are difficult to translate.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} A large number of spells are drawn from or inspired by Latin, and have a certain resonance with English speakers due to its relatively large proportion of Latinate-derived vocabulary. For example, ''priori incantatem'' (a spell which causes the last spells performed by a wand to be reproduced in reverse order) would be familiar to many English-speaking readers as the words ''prior'' (previous) and ''incantation'' (spell, charm). To create a similar effect in the Hindi version, the [[Sanskrit]], typical in [[mantra]]s, has been used for the spells. Some translators have created new words themselves; others have resorted to [[transliteration]].{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

In ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone]]'', when Professor McGonagall is about to introduce Harry to Oliver Wood, she asks another professor if she can "borrow Wood for a moment", momentarily confusing Harry. In order to retain this pun, the Yiddish translation renames Wood as "Oliver Holtz", "holtz" being the Yiddish for wood,<ref name="tab"/> unlike the Italian one, which changed the surname to "Baston", from "bastone", "stick", but returned to the original "Wood" with the second translation.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

Often, names in Harry Potter have historical or linguistic significance in English, which may create problems if the translator does not recognise it. Rowling commented on this phenomenon in ''Conversations with J.K. Rowling'', in which she complained that the Italian translation of [[Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]]'s last name was "Silente"; rather than recognising that "Dumbledore" was an old [[Devon]] word for "bumblebee," the translator took the word "dumb" and translated it as "silent".<ref>''Conversations with J.K. Rowling'', Lindsey Fraser, Arthur E. Levine Books, 2001</ref> In contrast, the Czech translator used the Old Czech word for bumblebee – ''Brumbál'' (in modern Czech ''čmelák''). The French translation renamed Severus Snape as 'Rogue'; in Italian he was renamed "Piton" (from the Italian "pitone", "[[Pythonidae|python]]").<ref name="tab">{{cite web |last1=Rosenberg |first1=Yair |title=HOW DO YOU SAY 'QUIDDITCH' IN YIDDISH? |url=https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/culture-news/298268/harry-potter-translated-yiddish# |website=tabletmag.com |access-date=13 February 2020 }}</ref> Hungarian also calls him "Piton". Instead, the same Italian translation changed the name of Professor Sybill Trelawney into "Sibilla Cooman", which resembles the Italian "Sibilla Cumana", the [[Cumaean Sibyl]], although, like many other names, it was brought back to the original in the revised translation.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}

=== Alternative title ===

Rowling released an alternative title for ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'' for use by translators finding difficulty translating its meaning. The alternative title (in English) is ''Harry Potter and the Relics of Death''.<ref>[http://www.mugglenet.com/2007/05/swedish-deathly-hallows-translation-may-give-clues/ Swedish Deathly Hallows translation may give clues], Mugglenet, 25 May 2007</ref> In Italy the title has been translated as ''Harry Potter e i doni della morte'' replacing "hallows" with "presents" because the word "relic" is often used in reference to the remains or personal effects of a saint. This variation was proposed and then approved by J.K. Rowling.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.badtaste.it/2007/10/01/la-salani-chiede-aiuto-harry-potter-7/333/|title=La Salani chiede aiuto per Harry Potter 7 - BadTaste.it|date=2007-10-01|work=BadTaste.it|access-date=2018-03-08|language=it-IT}}</ref>

=== Character gender === A few characters in the series are identified with a title and last name, or with a gender-neutral name. In some languages—for example, those where adjectives are gendered—it was necessary for the translator to guess the character's gender. The Hebrew translation initially made Blaise Zabini a girl, though the character was revealed to be a boy in later books.<ref name="harryhebrew"/> To avoid this problem, Isabel Nunes, one of the [[European Portuguese]] translators, asked Rowling about the gender of some of the characters—Zabini, Professor Sinistra, and "R.A.B."—while working on her translations.<ref>[http://www.beyondhogwarts.com/story.200610081.html Rumor: Full name of R.A.B. revealed], David Haber, 8 October 2006</ref>
