Website history
This website has its origin in December 1995 when Hendrik Jan Hoogeboom started with a simple list of all known translations and publishers at that time. He extracted this from the older albums where you could find such list. Gradually, information trickled in, and the list expanded. Hans Selles started a similar website in 1997. Hendrik Jan and Hans decided to merge both sites into a new website. On December 18, 2000, the domain name asterix-obelix.nl was registered.

Our goal has always been to display all official translations. The use of the internet grew enormously, and we received more and more information from all corners of the world. We created a separate page for each language/dialect with all publishers, translated albums, year of publication, name of translators and pictures of the covers. The same language with other translators for other target groups (e.g. Spain, Mexico, South America) got their own page.

This website would have never been possible without the help of Asterix fans, so thanks to everyone who has helped us and still does.
