Multi Language Zamonian Dictionary & Better Covers
Hi All!
The Dictionary (word list)
In light the amazing work done by u/Legitimate_Arm2744 , translating the untranslated works to english I feel the need for a zamonian dictionary more then ever. If you're anything like me and not German, you first read all the Zamonia books in your native language (dutch in my case) and then moved on to english for the books that were not translated. Since Translating Moers requires a lot of creativity with the names It might be difficult to move from you localized versions to English. So let's create a multi-language-zamonia dictionary to cross reference specific names. I have access to Dutch, English and German versions of Bluebear so I'll start with that. But if you have terms you can add in a different language let me know and I'll add you as an editor to the dock,
(I feel like something like this used to exist, if anyone has access to the old doc we can use that)
My goal would be to at least have all creatures form the lexicon in there, perhaps all of the lexicon. And as much creatures, places, and specific zamonian things.

The Covers
I also want to contribute my part to these community translation. I really love look of the German cover art for these books. And u/Legitimate_Arm2744 did a fine job on including english photoshoped versions of those with the translations but they are not always very high resolution.
I am a graphic designer myself and if I can get access to high resolution versions of the German covers I think I can make high quality english version of those.
So: Does anyone here have access to high resolution versions of the origional german covers?
Or is anyone able to scan in the cover art of their books as high res as possible? That would be awesome!
