PHB in Spanish

[Zaukrie]

Is there a Spanish language PHB? My sons are in Spanish Immersion school, and as much as my oldest reads the PHB, I thought we could challenge him.

Yes, there is... now, how to get your hands on it, no idea
(Primary language spanish here, and have all my books in english. And I like it that way )

D&D material is translated to Spanish by Devir. The translation is somewhat peculiar, though.

 

[Klaus]

It is sold in Spain by Devir, a subsidiary of Devir Livraria, the owner of translation rights for WotC, White Wolf, Steve Jackson, Shadowrun and others in Brazil.

Thanks. Now to get someone who speaks spanish here to look at the site with me, figure out how to order for shipping to US (if possible), how to pay....but it can be done, I believe.

Thanks....

Eso es porque la traducción esta en el Español de la madre patria, y no con el Español que tu usas todos los dias. Personalmente, estoy de acuerdo contigo que en Ingles es más claro, y te ahorras los problemas de los errores de traducción.

Pero la traducción en Portugues brasileño es muy más terrible que la traducción en Español. Y hay más libros en Español disponibles.

HA! Not bad for a non-Spanish speaker!

well, I'm chilean which means I don't actually speak spanish either. I speak Chilean.

It's generally agreed that we have one of the worst pronunciations in the spanish speaking world.

Since my wife ran the program to bring Spanish speakers to help in our school, we got to meet a lot of Central and South Americans (and a few Spaniards) ove the last few years. The way the groups teased each other, or even felt superior, over their language skills and dialects was always interesting. Americans have this picture that "others" are all the same. I like this aspect of our kids' school - they really get to see how people are different, and yet the same.

Los que hablamos español sabemos las GRANDES diferencias de acentos, entonaciones etc. No te sientas mal iwatt en Puerto Rico tenemos nuestras peculiaridades, a nosotros nos suena como que los otros hispano parlantes hablan como si estuviesen cantando y a mucha extraeros que conozco somos nosotros los que parecemos que hablamos así. ¡Y no me preguntes de los errores con palabras adaptadas del inglés!

He visto copias del PHB en español y no me parece mal. Klaus del portugués no se nada, nunca los he visto. Mi ex-esposa habla portugués, yo no recuerdo nada. Klaus, muy bien para alguien que no habla español. Te demuestra lo mucho que se parecen nuestras lenguas.

And now the translation:

We who speak Spanish know the VAST differences in accents, intonation, etc. Don’t feel bad iwatt, in Puerto Rico we have our own peculiarities, to us it sounds like other Spanish speakers speak with a sing song yet to many foreigners I know wit is us who sound like that. And don’t get me started with the horrors of words taken from English!

I’ve seen copies of the PHB in Spanish and it does not seem that bad. Kalus I know next to nothing about the Portuguese version as I have not seen it. My ex-wife speaks Portuguese, but I don’t remember anything. Klaus that was pretty good for someone that doesn’t speak Spanish. Goes to show how much our languages are alike.
