I was recently at one of your book visits and you mentioned funny translations, are there any more weird translations?

Hi,

They're not actually weird. Its just that different cultures express themselves in different ways. Translatng something into a different language often changes the meaning of the original saying. There are probably a lot of them besides the ones I like to mention in my presentations.                                                                              -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi again,

On the topic of translations, what was the translation for Restart, I forget.

Sorry to keep you waiting, IkeaLover. The one you're asking about, for RESTART, is the Korean translation of the title:

                                                                                RUDE BOY FLYING

OK?                                                                                                                                                    ---GK---

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at one of your author visits. I LOVED the translations, they were so funny, like the one for "Liar, liar, pants on fire".

Hi,Tommy,

You must mean, "Teller of untruths, your trousers have combusted."

Glad you enjoyed the presentation. Hope you like the books, too.                           -----Gordon Korman-----
