| | Harry Potter in translation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Whereas "pirate translations" are unauthorised translations of true Harry Potter books, "fake translations" are published pastiches or fanfics which a foreign publisher has tried to pass off as the translation of a book by Rowling. | | | Croatian, Croatia: Algoritam, translated by Zlatko Crnković (I-III), Dubravka Petrović (IV-VI) | | | Soon after the success of the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released in the US as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), the books began to be translated into other languages. |

| | Translating Harry Potter, Part II |
| | Torstein Hoverstad, the Norwegian translator of Harry Potter, is among the many who have described the experience of being a literary translator as that of attempting something inherently impossible, being badly paid, and remaining virtually invisible—and that’s if you’re successful. | | | With Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince—the penultimate book in the tale of the magical young wizard—set to be published on July 16th, 2005, Potterphiles the world over are already kicking into overdrive. | | | Although these counterfeit translations are for obvious reasons of a generally inferior quality, they demonstrate the zeal of Potter fans to get their hands on the stories as quickly as possible. |

| | Harry Potter & the Slow Translation: Non-English Stores Await Bestseller |
| | Translating a 672-page book is a long process, made longer by the strict security imposed on "Half-Blood Prince" by Rowling and her publishers: Translators didn't get to see the book until it officially came out July 16. | | | The Potter books are enormously popular throughout the world and have been translated into dozens of languages, with German and Japanese editions doing especially well. | | | The translation of Bill Clinton's "My Life" came out within a few weeks of the English edition, which itself was accelerated for an early summer release. |

| | MobileRead Networks - Pirate translation of Harry Potter in record time |
| | Rather than wait for the official translated version, hundreds of eager Harry Potter fans from Germany have bought an English copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and translated the book into German themselves. | | | Under the rules of the collective, only those who contribute by translating or proofreading may see the final translated version. | | | Clearly, this does not guarantee that one member could potentially leak the translated book onto a new Internet site - as if by magic. |
