Translation: German manga of “The Minish Cap”, Part 3: “Link and the Mountain-Minish”

Here we go: third chapter! We meet Chilta (yes, I’m technically using the correct name) and slowly discover that the official English translation is a joke.

My translation key: DT: „direct translation" (translated word for word) EQ: “English equivalent” (as in, as close to an English-sounding sentence as it’s gonna get) DT/EQ: „"direct translation/English equivalent" (for when the DT is so similar to an EQ that it’s practically English already) OE: “official English (translation as given in the English version of “The Minish Cap”)“ (NOTE:) "anything I need to point out” (exactly what it says on the tin) BG: „backwards German” for the Minish language in forwards form BOE: “the forwards version of the Minish language in the OE version” BOET: “the TRANSLATION of the forwards version of the Minish language in the OE version”

My translation work under the cut.

(NOTE: Yeah, you read that right. Despite using the "Picori" name throughout the manga, the English version still calls them "Minish" in the chapter title. BE CONSISTENT, DARN IT.)

It's called a Minish Portal!" (NOTE: It's not a door, English Ezlo... Funnily enough, though, this probably happened because they're called "Entrances" in the Japanese version...)

So watch well of your surroundings (out)." EQ: "Such Portals you'll find all over with different optics. So, pay attention to your surroundings."

Chilta: „Hier entlang." DT: „Here along." EQ: "Along here." OE: "C'mon! It's this way!" (NOTE: Chilta is a manga-original character. However, I have evidence to believe that he quite possibly is based off of Melari's "third-best" apprentice from the game-proper.)

Berg-Minish 1: „Hopp!" DT/EQ: „"Alley-oop!" OE: "Ho!"

Berg-Minish 2: „Hopp, hopp." DT/EQ: „"Alley, alley-oop." OE: "Diggity-dig!"

EQ: "The Boss's wife was a Forest-Minish and she... ...suffered greatly under the argument." OE: "Master Melari's wife was from the Forest Picori tribe. Thought it hurt her greatly, she intervened."
