* Jan Kantůrek, who does the Czech translations of [[Creator/TerryPratchett]], has a lot of fun with this trope. Sometimes he simply turns the names Czech by making them easier to use in his flexive mother tongue (thus, Magrat becomes Magráta), but very often a full change is required and joyfully provided (one of the fan favourites is Kyselá Prdel, "Sour Ass", for the village of Bad Ass, complete with a brand new origin story). The results can be somewhat mixed, but in a comedic series, this usually has a lot less adverse effect (and much more positive effect) than it would have in a more serious work.[[note]]Kantůrek has repeatedly received awards for his translations of Discworld, and both his Dub Name Changes and the awards are even more impressive when you learn that his command of English is passive only.[[/note]]
