Poly (xenphilos) I was finishing the latest podcast and the subject on how to say "Sword and Laser" in spanish came up, so here is my translation and pronunciation:

Espada Y Làser
Ehs-pah-tha eee lah-sehr (add more r's and roll for that "carrrrrne asada" sound ;) )

Anybody else wanna pitch in with translations of "Sword and Laser" in other languages?

Anne Schüßler (anneschuessler) | 847 comments I would be surprised if we can find a language where Laser is a different word. In German you use the English pronounciation as well, so it's really the same.

Anne Schüßler (anneschuessler) | 847 comments We have a children's show in Germany called "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (The Show with the Mouse) which features its intro each time in German and then repeats it in another language. You could do something similar and feature one language each time.

Mech ee lah-zer


message 17: by Jim (new)

Jim (kskryptonian) | 202 comments Oh yeah I can help! In 40k it translates as chain sword and melta gun.

In Fallout it would be Super Sledge and Gatling Laser.

In Empire Galactic standard it would be light saber and blaster.

In federation standard it would be Bat'leth and phaser.

I could go on and on and on...

Paulo Limp (paulolimp) | 164 comments Portuguese is pretty similar to spanish:

Espada e Laser

And it is pronounced the same way.

Cheers!

George Corley (gacorley) | 66 comments Mandarin Chinese:

剑与激光
jian4 yu2 ji1guang1

Interestingly, the word for "laser" can be analyzed as "stimulated light" -- so I guess it's almost a calque.

Tacuazin | 22 comments In Basque, ezpata eta laser.
Let me correct the Spanish one, the written accent is wrong. The right one is espada y láser.
