Oh, interesting! I know I would never be able to be on a wiki if I didn't originally know the subject in the same language as it! Though again I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly... Why would you have to translate anything if there is a hypothetical Italian wiki of this series? (referring to the "some translation isn't relly possible" statement) I mean, since that's the language you originally read in, in that case, wouldn't you just be documenting/summarizing what you've read/learned/concluded? I mean, I'm sure no translation can ever be 100% as the original, and take French for example, the word they used for representing "Caster" is "Enchanteur"; I mean, it is representing the same thing, but that word is simply just French for "Enchanter", while apparently the Brazilian Portuguese word "Conjurador" got it exactly as "Caster" (I don't speak either, just using online translator lmao) I don't think wikis in foreign languages needs to base their contents using what's on the English one, cuz if doing so, that's when I think the "hard to translate" thing will happen.

But anyways, I think I also kind of get what you're coming from (referring to the "I think that the original version is more accurate on the used words." statement) I first read the first 3 Harry Potter books in Chinese, but because the 4th book was being translated too slowly, I tried reading in English instead, AND AFTERWARDS I could never go back reading in Chinese, because I realized how badly they were translated; I don't know if that's how you feel with the Italian translation, but if it is, then ahhh, sorry to seem so persistent about it!

Oh, Rid is also my fav so far! I started reading the spin-off because of her, basically xP

Oh, thank YOU for interacting with me! Sometimes I really feel like I'm talking to thin-air on this wiki lol. Really wondering where all the fans are... (probably just not on Wikia...)
