Talk:¡La Fantoma!

In Spanish, La Fantoma doesn't mean anything, the correct words are "El Fantasma" (The Ghost). And please i remember that Spain is not Mexico, i hate when people think we are living in a desert with bulls and mariachis. Menin91 17:35, December 24, 2010 (UTC)menin91
 * According to google translate, it is indeed phantom. In addition, just googling the word yields many many instances of la fantoma in Spanish text pages. I also don't see the origin of your complaint about Spain/Mexico. Is it something in the article?--Gothemasticator 21:14, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess he is talking about the game taking place so close to Mexico and is preemptively mentioning it, assuming nobody knows Spain exists. But, uh, Spain is pretty connected to bulls too...what with the running of the bulls and all. --Pongsifu 21:51, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yes i have to apologise, i have looked for it and yes it's correct to use the word Fantoma, but it's so uncommon that i've never heard of it. And about the Spain/Mexico, yes it's preventive, because i hate when people mix things about two different countries. Except for that i have no more to say, keep playing and enjoying!Menin91 16:17, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

nothing to apologize for... fantoma is not phantom in spanish... is not in the RAE dictionary (Real Academia Espanola) a google search of fantoma gives results in other languages i guess you wouldn't know since you obviously don't speak spanish...

"google translate confirms it is phantom in spanish..."

google translate???? SERIOUSLY??? That's your source? Yo si hablo el idioma.

Actually, I checked Google Translate (don't bite off my head) and it said ¡La Fantoma! wasn't Spanish, but rather Romanian for "The Phantom!". Just thought I would put that out. Kastera1000 01:59, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Same as Kastera1000, the word "fantomă" is romanian and NOT spanish. Please, next time use the "Diccionario de la Real Academia Española" (http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/html/cabecera.htm) for reference, instead of Google Translator. Change has been done to the page, please leave it in that way. - Anonymous 02:04, March 09, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I'll pay that Fantoma isn't in the official Spanish dictionaries, so it is not a direct translation, instead an invented superhero name. The current edit mentioning "Spanglish" is a good one IMHO.

The comic is in Spanish and not some other language though, as you can just make out the word "Cuidado" in yellow text above the title. My Spanish is limited, but I'd translate it in this context as "Watch out!" or similar.

It would be great to have a less fuzzy image to confirm that the other text in the boxes is indeed in Spanish. --Actreal 04:17, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
