Interesting to see the work that has to go into truly localizing a comic like Asterix and Obelix. There is notes on how the comic strip format does aid in translation, because slapstick humour is rather global. But having to translate expressions that only make sense to a native French speaker is just hard work.
Incredible work from Dipa Chaudhuri and Puneet Gupta!
