A passel of tongues for a Parseltongue
I love Wikipedia. Here is a list of what foreign translations of the Harry Potter books have used as Lord Voldemort's real name (to accommodate the anagrammatic etymology of his alias).

See this site for more Harry Potter name translations. Of course the anagrammatic one is the most interesting, but Rowling included lots of punny names, and so those translations are often interesting too...

Sure beats actually working at this office.
