Mane Six names in Other Languages?
« on: November 11, 2013, 04:00:28 AM »
I recently got a 3D Colouring book of MLP FIM. There's text under each colouring page. I noticed that some of the ponies got different (and straaange names) now Im wondering if the mane six also got other names in other countries. I would like to write them down. :)

English:

- Fluttershy
- Rainbow Dash
- Twilight Sparkle
- Rarity
- Pinkie Pie
- Applejack

Dutch:

- Flitseflientje (No idea what that means)
- Regenboogje (Means small rainbow)
- Twilight Sparkle
- Rarity
- Lekkerbekje (A dutch baked fish meal, or someone who likes much and tasty food)
- Appelflap (Turnover with apple, popular dutch apple snack, most of the time consumed during new year)

Aw, I got all excited because maybe they got cool names in Japan too, but their names are the same in Japanese.

I like Appleflap! XD

Wait, they do? I've never noticed that before.. On everything I saw in stores they just had that regular names.

Appelflap? For Applejack? Flitseflientje, that's just, wrong.. Sparkbetty is what I would translate that to, it makes no sence at all. We dutchies are just, I'm at a loss of words here  :lmao:  If they were going to change names, than change Rarity and Twilight too, I mean, Rarity is probably the hardest one to pronounce for little ones

Oh dear... I didn't know they did translations!?
I just hate the Dutch names  :shocked: the G3 and G2 names are so weird too!
The only G3 name I actually like is Fonkeling (Sparkle Works)

hmmmn Appelflap

but wait a Lekkerbek can also be someone who likes good/tasty food  :lookround: I-I'll stick with that one instead of fish

...and what the flip is a Flitseflientje?

Translating names can get you really odd stuff, like in sweden Batman is called Läderlappen which translates to Leather Patch! :lmao:

Sweden havent translated the names but if they did we would probably end up with this:

Twilight Sparkle= Skymnings Gnister
Rainbow Dash= Regnbågs Sprint
Rarity= Ovanlighet
Applejack = Äppel Jack
Pinki Pie = Rosa Paj
Fluttershy= Flutterskygg
Spike= Spik

I've been following the Japanese version of MLP:FiM and the names are not different. It's just their names transliterated.

トワイライト スパックル = Towairaito Supakkuru = Twilight Sparkle
レインボー ダッシュ = Reinbō Dasshu = Rainbow Dash
ピンキ パイ = Pinki Pai = Pinkie Pie
ララチィ = Rarati = Rarity
アップルジャック = Appurujakku = Applejack
フラッタシャイ = Furattashai = Fluttershy

Hehe, IF they had german names they would be :
Twilight Sparkle : Zwielicht Funkeln
Rainbow Dash : Regenbogenblitz (actually, G3 Rainbowdash was called like that in Germany)
Pinkie Pie : Rosa Torte (G3 Pinkie Pie was Rosarot in Germany, which translates to PinkRed lol)
Rarity : Seltenheit
Applejack : Apfel Junge (??? The direct translation is a little odd... what exactly is an "Applejack", isnt it something you can eat?)
Fluttershy : flatter schüchtern
