Zorgamazoo in China too! (sort of)

Blogs, Books, Celebrity, Translating/Interpreting, Writers Comments Off on Zorgamazoo in China too! (sort of)

Following up on the post about Robert P. Weston’s (Nara-ken, 2002-04) rhyming children’s novel Zorgamazoo being translated into German, it turns out Zorgamazoo is also being translated into Chinese.  And by the Chinese translator who did Dr. Seuss!

This, apparently, is not new news.  Rob did a post on his Way of the West blog back in November, 2008 unveiling the news.  But JetWit didn’t know Rob back then.  In fact, JetWit barely existed at the time.

The important thing is that we know now and as a result, so do you.

And to Rob we simply say, “Gong shi, gong shi!”  (That’s “omedetou” in Chinese, fyi.)
