    Still, they're pretty good fakes. Elaborate.

    Sorry - no Pig Latin this time. Probably in the next batch, together with Latin, Greek, Big Endian, Klingon and Na'vi.

    Please. No translation effort is complete without Esperanto.

    That's offensive. The proud Wookie language is known as Shyriiwook.

    Also, that would be:

    Crasc Scrak: Aoacwo Wawohoahan'c Akanraroacoohucwo.

    ...at least, according to some random internet translator. Someone more fluent in Shyriiwook would have to correct any translation errors.

    And the Attic Greek would be Σαμουὴλ καὶ Μαξιμιλιανός· τὸ τοῦ Διαβόλου θέατρον, but I'm way too lazy to figure out the fonts and formatting for that one. :P

    I disagree, it works really well as a title! And those logos are awesome - great work!

    Bah - if anything, it should have been "Des Teufels Spielhölle"... :D

    In Finnish:
    Sam & Max: Paholaisen teatteri.

    Could also be translated as "Paholaisen leikkimökki", but anyone who speaks Finnish knows how ludicrous that is :)

    In Norwegian:
    'Sam & Max: Djevelens Lekehus'

    I'd prefer the english version, though :P But of course, kids that don't speak english, could enjoy it anyway :)

    Pidgin English?

    I checked Wikipedia, but the most likely "pidgin" dialect I could find was Ebonics. And I can't imagine Max saying "yo betta step or I gonna bust a cap, foo".

    Well, maybe I can.

    "Spielhölle" is a place for gambling (like a casino). A playhouse is actually a house where plays are perfomed, i.e. a theatre. However, "Schauspielhaus" would be too long and far too much into detail. Hence, "Spielhaus".

    The official German distributor will however most probably go with a title which doesn't have anything to do with the original, anyway. ;)

    Ebonics isn't a pidgin, it's a dialect. Some linguists think it's a creole, which is a grown up pidgin, but there's no consensus on that. I don't know who added it to the Wikipedia page on English pidgins, but it shouldn't be there.

    I don't think you could translate the title anyway. The differences are mostly pronunciation and grammar.

    "Sam en Max: Theater van de Duivel" sounds better than most English titles translated to Dutch.
