Duchess Ravenwaves Name
In Swedish I'm not entirely sure but I think Duchess Ravenwaves was translated into being called:
grevinnan Korplock (Duchess Ravenwaves) or grevinnan Korpsvans (Duchess Raventail)
However, as all other LLL characters were not translated, I could be imagining this. Fellow Swedes, what do you recall? 
From the Characters section of this page I see that Duchess Ravenwaves were called in..
Dutch: Gravin Ravenzwart
French: Duchesse Noir-de-Jais
German: Gräfin Rabenstolz (rabe = raven, stolz = pride)
Italian: Duchessa Neronda
Spanish: Duquesa Maraña
Letters for her German and Spanish name unfortunatly been distorted, what should it say there? Seems it does not mean "Duchess" in German though, rather "Countess" according to Alarda.
And are the other translations spot on directly translated or what do they mean?
The Dutch name gives me the feeling it means "ravenblack".
Are we missing out on any languages?
Ravenwaves name
Nonono...in Sweden they simply called her "Hertiginnan Ravenwaves" (Duchess Ravenwaves) , but most of the times, they just said "Ravenwaves", they never translated her or the other girls names. I got all three of the videotapes and also two comic-books.
But they did find swedish names for the Comb Gnomes; "Snagg and Tovi", don't remember the last one and then we got "Hårtuss" as is Hairball, Silkymane was translated right of as "Silkesman".......some pixies got swedish names, some didn't...but this topic was about The Duchess, sorry I got a little carried away
Re: Duchess Ravenwaves Name
hehe, guess it was me thinking it simply felt more cool calling her that then
Needed to know how to introduce myself in Swedish when I dress up as her, although Korplock works too, in a way..
And quite alright about going slightly off-topic, but we still stayed in the name area
What comic books
You gonna dress up like her?
You gonna dress up like her? Cool!
Well, yes it works if one absolutely wants to translate it. Oh the comic books they are more like thin comic albums, Features one or two comic stories, one of them I have tell us how Lady got Silkymane and another lets us know about Goldenwaves and her friends (Um that's her name right?) There are also some short story on two pages (not comic, just text with a picture) amd some coloring pages, oh yeah there was also sme kind of info-page in each comic-book that featured one of the characters.
I think, I'm not entirely sure, but I think there was four albums of LLL in sweden, I found mine on the swedish auction site "Tradera"....
Re: You gonna dress up like her?
Yup, that's the plan. I started on a costume some years ago, but so much that got in the way for each Halloween I planned to finish it for. You can find info and link to images in this thread: "Ever got inspired and made a doll of LLL yourself?"
(I OT-ed Alarda's thread of sorts
Hmm yes, I do recall at least one more Swedish cover.. with Maiden Fairhair chasing some fireball in the woods!
I think the one a friend got me before, he also found on Tradera after me pointing him there *grins*
Sorry to still going
Sorry to still going off-topic but I was corrct, there are four comic album and not only that, even one audiotape, look at this rare lot http://www.tradera.com/Lady_Lovely_Locks-auktion-75807517 It's really rare, coming from Sweden.... *I wish I had moneeeeeyh!!!*
Re: OT
