Swedish Translation

Post by Ferraigo »

Hello to all of you stopping by the translations forum from time to time! :D

Having followed the great Italian and French translations that valerio and Foldo have made of Housepets!, I feel inspired and want show my own appreciation of this comic by translating it into Swedish.

I've run into a minor problem however, and I'd like to ask you guys what you think.
Since Housepets! is written in the Webletterer font, I'd like to use it, but I need to be able to write the letters å, ä and ö, which Webletterer doesn't have. So, should I just go for Webletterer using Komika Hand for the letters that Webletterer doesn't have, or does anyone of you know of a similar-looking font that has the letters I need?

Legal solution on the website of the designer :
http://www.blambot.com/font_weblettererpro.shtml ($20)

This is the font that I purchased to translate correctly Housepets in French. :mrgreen:

Thank you for the font suggestions. I ended up using a combination of Webletterer and Komika Hand after all, and I have now translated the first arc of the comic. I've got to say, translating puns from one langauge to another must be the worst thing ever! :lol:

Enjoy!

This is now my favourite translation
Because I read everything with a cheesy accent
I was going to make a joke but then I did.

Keep it up, man! Swedish is adorable
The first song I bought in this language was Playboy-Hanna. I can't help reading your strip with that accent, 'tis cool!

And yes, the puns are #1 obstacle
#2 is until the 'cat-tail' arc was to make sure the reader couldn't tell Grape's gender.

I'm glad you guys like the translation!

Thank you Esquire Fox, I spent like one hour trying to come up with something weather-related in Swedish that could be used as a pun!

Actually valerio, hiding Grape's gender isn't very difficult in Swedish, since the genders of our nouns are not masculine and feminine. ;)

This is really fun, so I couldn't help but to translate the second story arc today, enjoy!

Another arc down :).

Oh and thanks for translating the titles too, I don't think the other translations do that, but they should =O.

Wammola! You're a fast one, man! Love it!
One question: 'Sjuk' is the swedish word for 'silly' rather than 'sick of mind'?

Hello everyone!

I haven't been on here in ages, but I'm really happy to see that there are translations into many more languages than five years ago :)

Is there still an interest in the Swedish translation? I've been considering giving it a go again.
