Cool. I must say that the whole nonsense of the story is what I love. It's charming and it's hilarious.

How do you perceive them, by the way? Does "Shrinking Violet" sounds to you as strange as "Violette Rétrécissante"? [/QB]
So what about the Legionnaire's names? Do they translate them into French? Or do they keep them in the English original? I'm asking because they do translate them to Spanish. And because many of the first LSH stories that I read were in Spanish, I still sometimes think of Legionnaires under their Spanish name. (Actually, several of the Spanish names would work very well in English, too. Isn't 'Sombra' better than 'Umbra'? I also like 'Saturna' and 'Solar').

No, they didn't translate them. Except the White Witch("Sorcière Blanche") and Phantom Girl("Fille Fantôme"). And a small modification of Chameleon boy(he became "Cameleon Boy"-no H).
