* LostInTranslation: In the original French, the Arvernians speak with an exaggerated version of the modern Auvergne accent, replacing all "s" sounds with "sh". This sets up many puns and references (for example, a young Arvernian who doesn't speak with the accent: not because the Arvernian accent is fading among the young generation, but because "he lishpsh"). While some translations kept the "sh"-sounds, the English version, they were mostly replaced with meat-related puns.[[note]] The British translators, Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, generally avoided using regional accents for Gaulish dialogue when translating the ''Asterix'' books (why would a French character speak like someone from the West Country or Yorkshire?), which precluded transliterating jokes based on regional accents in the original French.[[/note]]
