Bulbagarden

Hmm... Probably the Cleopatra one. That was the first Asterix book translated to Finnish, so it was always on the top of the pile.

" I called you because you're the best architect in Egipt... Which is not so difficult."

"Oh..."

"QUIET! Your buildings are irredemable! Walls collapse on people's heads!"

"It's because of those new-age building materialls, my fair lady... Besides, I always dreamt of building pyramids..."

-----
"Woah... Those people walk away too fast...too bad... The picture was so good, and Sphinx..."

"SPHINX?!?"

* Runs away to inform everyone Sphinx has lost his nose.*

(my own attempt at translating BTW, it sucks, admittebly...)

I love quoting stuff. A+.

I really have no idea on how to translate those names tho, and not knowing them from official Eng dub hurts as well. For one, the good architect from Cleoapatra book was named Numerobis in Polish, which clealry sounds to me like a wordplay on the Polish word for "number" (numer) and a verb robić (to do something)... But again, I'm pretty sure his English name couldn't by any means involve the exact same wordplay (as in,on the same words with the same meaning).

It's Numerobis in Finnish as well. I. Finnish, the chief of Asterix's village has his name based on head cheese (à la daube in French).

Huh... I thought that's only his Polish name, because it sounded like a wordplay to me.
