    No kidding? That’s super cool! Disque-monde! I am somewhat disappointed they didn’t transliterate Ankh-Morpork.

    Vetinari (IIRC) is Veterini 😁

    The translations are masterpieces, I prefer some french over the originals even. The wordplays are so thought out and function so well. Ankh-Morpork, ou by some I dont remember (Klatch?) becomes Ankh-Mord-Porc, "Ankh-Bite-Pig" with food jokes etc. And so on.
