fwiw, the Swedish Dan Brown translator fixed lots of glitches and inconsistencies
without even checking with Brown; the sheer number of trivial errors made it ob-
vious to him that it wasn't some clever literary device; Brown had just been careless.

now, does a cleaned-up Brown communicate the same meaning/feeling to a Swede
(or other european) as an inaccurate Brown does to an American ?

has Brown's works been translated to British English, btw ?
