Heh, I hadn't noticed :/ I'll have to go read those 6 pages again, and hope it's just a typo.
And indeed, hope they didn't make the mistake for one of the main crew. That would be the mother of all DRINKs!

Apart from that, yes, I approve of what they've done, seems like a pretty good job (but I've only read those 6 pages once, and quickly)

I don't know if anybody else noticed, but it looks like the French version of the book is now coming out some time next week. The official Akileos site now says October 23rd, but the salesperson at the chain bookstore I dropped into on the way back from an errand said it was the 24th.

So the french book is out now! How is it?!

I saw some pictures over at Twitter and my scandinavian little eye noticed a typo, but apart from that give us all the details if anyone has any!

A few typos indeed and, they had to make the typeset quite small to fit the longer French words into some places (there's a reason I prefer taking notes in English), but nothing major enough to actually impact the narrative (aside from the Sigrun Larsen incident that I previously pointed out in the preview). But other than that, my only real complaint is what happened to my afternoon plans after I thought it would be a good idea to go pick the book up at lunch time. One panel of the bonus comic is also quite sad if you read it for the first time while knowing what's going to happen to Tuuri.

Are there other official translations that you guys would especially want to see?
A portuguese translation would be nice. Tbh a dream job for me would be translating the comic myself, but alas, with no experience so far it sounds far fetched.

Also this one! I don't know anything about any of the nordic languages, but I do intend on learning them (after my current list of languages to learn).

You don't need experience to start getting experience ;)  :reynir:

you can get the whole transcription for book 1 and more here (although only the first 120 pages show up for me at the moment :o ) if you don't want to work directly from the comic pages. If you're a bit savvy it shouldn't be too hard to import the CSV file into Excel or something*.

Be warned, though, it's a lot more time-consuming than it would seem. Also, it's really not that easy to do a good translation (especially of the literary kind, IMHO). But do not be discouraged, it's also really not too hard to do a translation that's good enough. Just take your time, try to be aware of subtext/nuances, and make sure what you write in Portuguese sounds correct and natural. Don't hesitate to get back to your work after a break; in fact, do get back to what you've written after a break (and/or have someone else go over it), it will only improve the quality.

After you're done translating a few pages (or at the same time), you'll have the happy job of putting your text into the bubbles in an image editor... Unfortunately the wonderful Transcription/Translation tool linked above isn't able to upload files for an automated integration (yet).

*if you're not, I should have at least the prologue tucked away somewhere

I'm thinking of starting a translation as a hobby for a time into Filipino. I'm not good at it despite it being my home country's native language. Doing this in my spare time can help improve my knowledge.
The king of all creation fell out of heaven, usurped by a seven headed beast. But the old king shall choose a new, and he will ignite the Third Conquest. He will be flanked by a white and a black flame, His coming will be followed by 108 burning stars. He will bear the terrible heat of the voice in his brow, the mark of his lordliness. He will face the beast—and he will annihilate it.
He will wield the terrible blade of Want, and the pillars of heaven will quake with his coming.
And his name—his
