I think translators with questions about words can ask the author.

Translating something with made up words must be so hard.

Harry Potter must have been a nightmare to translate. So many made up and weird words. The Finnish translator did such a good job though.

HP was exactly what I was thinking of. How'd the translator translate words like Thestral and patronus? __________________

I think words like Thestral and patronus and just stay as is.
It's not like they are real words in English. |

Thestrals are the same, but she translated most of the magic words. I think it was a bit wasteful, since they were not in English, but patronus is suojelius, which basically means a protector.

Does luminator get translated too? The patronus translation is cool.
If I knew more than just English, I'd still be a terrible translator because I'd get lazy and be like any made up English word just stays as is. I kinda like how the Finnish translator put effort in. __________________

Ugh, audible support can be very annoying. They never help me but I hope they get back to you soon.
So annoying that your progress was stopped. __________________

Yeah, well if they don't answer me before my next pay date, I'll just cancel my subscription, and take another app
 It is just that I would have had the perfect time to finish it, since I'm going to be home alone for this week. __________________

If you cancel, make sure to use whatever remaining credits you have before doing it so you don't lose out on the money spent.
Did you try deleting the app and then downloading it again? __________________

Oh wait, Scribd is different from the audible app, right?
Do they have a phone number you can call? __________________

Yeah, it's different, but it is super cheap, so I don't have a lot faith to their customer service
Unfortunately not, but the message I sent got me an automatic response that someone should answer me within 7 days. So, they have 5 days nod __________________
