Since "flaming" refers to the destruction of Janwen, you could put a "damned" or something.

Since "flaming" refers to the destruction of Janwen, you could put a "damned" or something.

It would be difficult to translate this, because it's sort of a double entendre. "Flaming lands" is an obvious reference to Janwen, but "flaming" is also a informal intensifier in English. Unless something to do with fire has the same kind of idiomatic use in another language, the effect will be untranslatable.

A common response to the problem of translating a double entendre is just not to try. Take Victor Hugo's famous novel, Notre Dame de Paris. This is both the name of the cathedral and a literal translation of "our lady of Paris"--a reference to Esmerelda. If the title is translated, the first meaning is lost; if it's left in French, the second meaning is obscured. So how is the name of the book typically given in English? The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Landskap, fält, något i den stilen.
Annars kan man ju göra som med sagan om ringen och hitta på nya namn.

Jag är Rhue från Landorinsträckan.

Om du vill kan jag se om jag kan översätta några av bilderna i menyerna.

om du fixar bilderna, då kan jag försöka göra alla databas texter, sen får vi se om jag överhuvudtaget ids börja på meddelanden och texter, med det är, ett ganska långt tag innan dess.
