[…] Because the translation… well, I’m increasingly sure that the odd use of words (which will really peak in the fourth novel) is meant to represent the Sicilian dialect, but it’s not clear why it needs to be used in the non-dialogue parts, for example? […] nowhere does [the translator] add any explanation, although perhaps a good translator’s footnote would have been in order, if only because [s]he is trying to recreate this Italian dialect using mostly old or vernacular words which I’m not sure all Hungarian readers will understand… but otherwise, the characters speak in a completely average “Hungarian”, only occasionally appear some little-known, old-fashioned words… In particular because among the characters Catarella, a character in the series (but sometimes other minor characters) speaks like an uneducated jerk. It’s strange because in Hungarian it’s so non-existent that it grates me to see it in writing, when he’s using the suffix -suk/sük2, uses naccsága,3 bites off suffixes, which we don’t associate with a plain dialect, but with someone who can’t express themselves at all, that he’s so uneducated that he speaks so INCORRECTLY (not being a grammar nazi, just an impression). And then the fact that she translated the names (Rooster, Capon, Dove) is also weird. These three because they are such birdy names that I was constantly thinking if they are speaking names, or maybe nicknames, or does it have a sense and importance why they are birds. It does not. And the fact that the man who appears at the end of the episode is called Pear is just ridiculous. I understand that it may have been like that in Italian, but I don’t know how it sounds in Italian, whether it sounds more natural. If not, then it’s the writer’s fault, of course, for giving it a surname like that but does not confirm for a moment that it’s for a joke […] If it does sound more natural, then it's about as bad to translate it as it is to translate the bird flock, because it doesn’t make any sense, it’s just confusing (the translator of the first part didn’t do it, by the way!)

Overall, I would say that the second part is the best: the story is great, the translation is by this translator but it’s not too distracting yet. And then the first one is not bad either, which was translated by someone else, and you can see what the translated names were in the original (because he didn’t translate them, as he left the Sicilian dialect to our imagination). The story of the third and fourth part is a tie, but these two have the most annoying translation (but since the fourth one even has the word kamara [chamber] instead of szoba [room], I vote it the worst of the four) […] (Moly.hu – Az uzsonnatolvaj).
