Trivia: Czech translation

New page

==Czech translation==
In the Czech translation by Jan Kantůrek, the High Gate Land is an old Czechoslovak 20-halier coin (instead of a British penny), and the description was changed accordingly:
* The letters read: "SKÁS OCIALI STICK" and "ÁREP UBLI", which is also an infamous Vortgorn battle cry. (A part of an actual writing on the coin: "Československá socialistická republika" - "Czechoslovak Socialist Republic".)
* The mountain ranges of the High Gate Land are said to form the shape of an animal similar to a [[snarg]]. (A Bohemian lion.)
* The [[Vortgorns]] have also found a writing on the other side of the coin: giant numbers two and zero.
* Interestingly, the land is still called the High Gate Land. (It could have been renamed to High Beast Land.)
* The nation of Vortgorns is called "Namincové" in Czech. ("Na minci" - "on a coin".)
