Misterioso traductor de Harry Potter
La policía francesa liberó a un escolar de 16 años, después de interrogarlo durante 24 horas sobre su participación en la difusión de una traducción pirata del séptimo tomo de la saga del célebre mago anteojudo: Harry Potter y las reliquias de la muerte. La traducción francesa fue difundida en un sitio internet pocos días después de la edición del original inglés, el pasado 21 de julio. Las investigaciones judiciales han concluido que la traducción es “de buena calidad”, aunque los especialistas presumen que la traducción ha sido hecha en tiempo récord por diversas personas, probablemente conectadas a través de internet. La editorial francesa Gallimard (que ha programado la salida de la traducción oficial el próximo 26 de octubre) y la escritora británica J.K. Rowling formularon una demanda ante la fiscalía de Aix-en-Provenza, pero desde ya el fiscal ha precisado que la motivación del joven detenido “no era ganar dinero”. Source: rfi

The Mysterious Translator of Harry Potter
French police have released a 16 year old schoolboy from custody after interrogating him for 24 hours about his involvement in the distribution of an illegal translation of the seventh instalment of the famous bespectacled wizard's adventures: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The French translation was spread via internet just a few days after the release of the original version on the 21st of July. The legal investigation concluded that the translation is "of good quality", although specialists believe that the book was translated in record time by several individuals, who were probably in contact via internet. The French publisher Gallimard (which had scheduled the release of the official translation for the 26th of October) and the British author J.K. Rowling filed a lawsuit with the public prosecutor's office Aix-en-Provenza, however the prosecutor has now stated that the young boy's motive was "not for financial gain".
