>Romance of the Three Kingdoms
>one of the Four Greatest Chinese Novels
>still no properly translated into Spanish, one of the two or three most spoken languages on Earth
Who can explain this bullshit? Why is Spanish so mistreated despite being an official language in so many countries?
Will I have to resign myself to reading an English version of this Chinese long-winded novel?
It feels like there's been a lot of Three Kingdoms threads lately. Anyway, read it however you can OP because it's baller as fuck.

Seriously? I haven't seen any thread regarding RoTK. Journey to the West seems to be more commonly discussed on /lit/.
Anyways, I know that there are a few spaniards and latin american posters. Has anybody been in this situation?
daily reminder
>Most Arab countries have not learned from the lessons of the past and the field of translation remains chaotic. In terms of quantity, and notwithstanding the increase in the number of translated books from 175 per year during 1970-1975 to 330, the number of books translated in the Arab world is one fifth of the number translated in Greece. The aggregate total of translated books from the Al-Ma’moon era to the present day amounts to 10,000 books - equivalent to what Spain translates in a single year (Shawki Galal, in Arabic, 1999, 87).

It's not anyone else's responsibility to translate for Spanish speakers but Spanish speakers themselves. Maybe if there were more bilingual Latin Chinese linguists you would have your books. Where are your academics?

one fifth of the translations in Greece
Greek translators are fucking disgusting. They make obvious mistakes and give the titles cancer and then a botched sex change. I had read the first couple HP books in Greek. I read them again in English years later, they were completely different.

Because it's for the most part spoken by dirty poor people who don't read. Compared with all other colonial languages, speakers of Spanish outside of its country of origin are the least intellectual in general.
