darkweasel:Hello everyone, does somebody know how to call these fish in Esperanto? I'm translating Charlie the Unicorn 2 to Esperanto, which is why I need this (they say fugu).

Ha ha ha, that's great!!! I hope you don't just subtitle it!

I want to hear that "CHARLEEEEEEY" in Esperanto!

The biggest problem will be to find voice actors. I could voice Charlie, but once I've finished the text of all three parts, I'm going to need some female voices (for the two other unicorns and - in part 2 - the bananas).

Anyway, I'll go with balonfiŝo, thanks for your suggestions.

I could give my voice to one of the female unicorns if you me want to. I've already done some microphone-acting in the past.

Isn't it better to say "Karlo" instead of "Ĉarlo"?

As it's just a proper name, I don't think that matters a lot. I wanted to keep the Ĉ-sound of the English original (I don't think a "Kaarloooo!" cry would be nearly as cool as "Ĉaarloooo!"), and that's why I chose "Ĉarlo".

What do you all think, is it enough to subtitle the Candy Mountain Cave song or should they sing it (which will require a lot of translation effort so that the rhythm stays)? I can't sing very well, so in the last case someone else will need to do this to get a good result.

Leporino: Contact me privately and I'll send you my (written) translation of part 1, then you can choose to voice the blue or the red unicorn.

ceigered:Fuguo seems to refer only to the dish so it depends - are you talking about the Japanese dish or about the fish?

The term "fugu" refers both to the fish and the dish, according to wiki, so I would go for fuguo, but balonfiŝo seems all right as well.
