You learn from experience

When reading book 7, i realized how much our translator did learned. At first he translated a lots of names when they didn't really need to. Fudge became changed name, before going back to "fudge". I wish he would re-do the translation.
On the other hand, the way he translated the "holey" joke from fred (or Georges maybe, can't remember), cracked me up.

I tends to reread books less now. The e-reader means i get new stuff to read easily.
