Info

They were neither widely available to the public like the bootleg editions in Lithuanian, Thai and the Mongolian language. For this reason those bootleg editions are not part of the list of translations as shown on the main page.
Asterix in different languages
Language: Translations by ΛΑΙΔΙС • TABATION • BITΟΥС
Only available in PDF.

This series of 18 translations was created on the initiative of Aleksandar Mikic from Serbia, who unfortunately passed away at a young age (1974-2021).
In addition to the 18 translations of one of the Asterix album that would otherwise never have been made, Aleksander has also coordinated 100 translations of one of the short stories from the album Asterix and the Class Act. It was his ode to mostly small or often almost forgotten languages.
In addition he also produced 75 Finno-Ugric translations of the short story Springtime in Gaul with the Finnish collector Ismo Porna.
