I'm curious, has anyone be able to translate the title "Pan's Labyrinth", or "El Labrinto de Fauno"? I know faun is faŭno in esperanto, but there is no word for labyrinth, or even maze. At least not on here on lernu.

I'm curious if there are subtitles in esperanto as well. I should look into that.

Both labyrinth and maze can be translated as labirinto. It's not a root that appears in the Baza Radikaro but it was used by Zamenhof and appears in the Fundamenta Krestomatio.

So I'd translate Pan's Labyrinth as La labirinto de Pan.

If I were translating the spanish title would it be, "La labirinto de la faŭno"?

Wells has Pajno for Pan, if you wish to use the proper name in the title.

tommjames:... labirinto. It's not a root that appears in the Baza Radikaro but it was used by Zamenhof and appears in the Fundamenta Krestomatio.
Slightly more relevant, it is an official word as of the 1st official addition to the Universal Dictionary.

Aha yes I just spotted why it didn't pop up when I searched for it in the Akademio dictionary.. I was entering the full form labirinto when you have to enter the bare root. Doh.

Vojenigmo sounds so much cooler than labirinto, though :/

Thanks for the suggestion!
