      From: joe_f@verizon.net              In all three translations, Squealer (like, I suppose, the other       animals) keeps his English name. A while ago I browsed in a couple of       émigré Russian translations, and in both of them, the humans kept       their English names, but the animals were given Russian names. In one       of them, Squealer became Vizgun, which is the actual translation, but       in the other, he was ingeniously called Fiskal, which is slang for a       police spy!       --       --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net              ||: Sanity itself is a form of politeness. :||              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
