fwiw, the Swedish Dan Brown translator fixed lots of glitches and inconsistencies without even checking with Brown; the sheer number of trivial errors made it ob- vious to him that it wasn't some clever literary device; Brown had just been careless. now, does a cleaned-up Brown communicate the same meaning/feeling to a Swede (or other european) as an inaccurate Brown does to an American ? has Brown's works been translated to British English, btw ? </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
