Posts from Creature names from Heroes of Might and Magic V (several articles about the translation). Auto-translated

I stumbled upon a few interesting articles about the translation of Heroes 5 while browsing the internet. The author (who is also a translator) analyzes the names of creatures, Necropolis, Inferno, and the Order faction. He writes quite thoroughly and provides arguments about which names worked well and which ones didn't. Overall, I think someone might find it interesting to take a look. https://shtyrbu.name/all/homm-v-undead/ https://shtyrbu.name/all/homm-v-inferno/ https://shtyrbu.name/all/homm-v-haven/ P.S. When I used to come up with names for creatures, I often faced the problem of choosing the right words. I really didn't want to create all sorts of "corrupted dominators of the underworld" or something like that, as they like to write in Disciples. In short, finding the right words can often be quite difficult, so it was interesting to read what a person whose job is to "choose words" has to say about this.
