I was thinking about what different abilities and spells would be called in swedish (I'm a swede!), and began to laugh. 'Kraftord: Sköld' would be 'Power Word: Shield'. Just sounds funny and not especially powerful.

So, what would abilities and spells be named in your language and would you want it? I wouldn't want swedish servers... I would laugh all the time. :)

Some examples in swedish:
Blodtörst - Bloodlust
Förinta - Obliterate
Sved(a) or Bränn - Scorch
Pestslag - Plague Strike
Tjutande Vindstöt - Howling Blast

:'D

Class names in Swedish.

English to Swedish :)

Warrior - Krigare
Hunter - Jägare
Priest - Präst
Druid - Druid (lol)
Shaman - Shaman (lol)
Rogue - Skurk (Google translate)
Death Knight - Döds Knäkt
Paladin - Paladin (seriously xD)
Mage - Magiker
Warlock - Krigslås xD

Much the same in Norwegian. ;)

Warrior - Kriger
Hunter - Jeger
Priest - Prest
Druid - Druide
Shaman - Sjaman
Rogue - Skurk
Death Knight - Dødsrytter or Dødsridder
Paladin - Paladin
Mage - Magiker
Warlock - Trollmann (male) / Trollkvinne (female) (or Trollkar / Trollkjerring)

Reminds me of when we tried finding Norwegian names for all the specialist wizards in AD&D 2nd Ed. :p
