Of course, but you can understand why we do this surely:

- Firstly, most place names do not have an equivalent in Ængleish, for example, Durangárd, which literally means; "the land plains of oxen lords" ("Duran" derives from both the verb 'to lord over', Dúrnak, and the word 'ox', Anbâr. The 'g' in "gárd" links the two sections of the name, deriving from the Northspeak dialect word for 'from' or 'whence'; 'gés' - for example John gés London. The "árd" is a complicated mix of High Northspeak intertwined with influences of Ulüundíc - basically it literally means; 'the plain lands'.)

- Secondly, the word "Aśdårla", which is a sacred word in our culture, has no equivalent in Ængleish, and only my King and his heirs and successors may know what it means. Only in the end times will he reveal the secret to Aśdårla - will it be a blessing or an omen? Only he and the nine great Gods know.

Can you understand now how difficult it is to translate most things?
