But that's an entirely different part of the castle! In french and english!

Yes. But they translated this way from the early versions. So we're used to it.

BTW, I used what I believe to be the official translations.

Some of them aren't really popular.

Ok, in swedish:

Fighter - Krigare

Wizard - Trollkarl

Rogue - Skurk or perhaps Lymmel, or Tjuv (thief).

Cleric - Präst (not exactly Cleric, but priest)

Dragon = Lohikäärme
Fighter = Taistelija, Soturi (warrior)
Wizard = Velho, Maagi (mage)
Rogue = Varas (thief)

These will allbe cool names for people having these classes IMC.

To expand on Mr. Semlak's, for dungeon we often used "podzemlyeniye," which roughly translates into "underground place." I suppose that the lack of a good word for "dungeon" might be due to the lack of a tendency to imprison in the middle ages in Russia rather than just roughly dismembering.

And we alternatively used "tserkovnik" for cleric, which is a little more general "church-person."

Dungeon is evidently a rather tricky word to translate.


As nobody else gives it a shot, I'll do the honors in spanish. I've never gamed in spanish, though, so I have no idea whether these are even close to how it has been traduced "officially".


Dungeon - Mazmorra
Dragon - Dragón (very simple)
Fighter - Guerrero
Wizard - Mago
Rogue - don't know, really. Best I can do at the moment is Ladrón (thief)
Cleric - Clérigo
Evil - Mal
Good - Bueno
Combat - Combate
Sword - Espada
