Spanish Harry Potter Coming Soon
Posted by John Yunker
The Spanish-language edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is due out next week. Now this begs the question: Which Spanish is it being translated into? According to the press release:
As with the five preceding Potter books, the Spanish-language publisher,
Ediciones Salamandra, will publish three different versions of the same
translation, which reflect the idiomatic differences of the Spanish language
in Spain, Argentina, and the rest of Latin America. The total print run is
expected to exceed one million copies. The popularity of the series is
universal. More than 300 million copies of Harry Potter books in 63 languages
have been sold worldwide.
I have two great articles on the challenges (and business) of translating Harry Potter. Both are free and located here in PDF form:
