Oxonmoot 2024

We have participants from several countries: surely with knowledge of translated editions in many different languages. Share your stories! What is Barliman Butterbur called in your language? How did the publishers of different countries deal with the tengwar and runes on the books: do you know of professionally translated inscriptions, annoyingly obvious mistakes or curiously original choices of localisation? Is there any peculiarity of Tolkien’s texts which are especially difficult to be presented in some language you know? Are there any misinterpretations in the editions you first read which you realised only when seeing the original texts or even the movies? Do you have translated editions with lovely or absurd illustrations by local artists? Do you know of fan-made adaptations in your country? Let us discover the different experiences and treasures of this wonderfully international community!
