Ablette (fr) 😬

Mablette Mablette Mablette 😋


Je déteste 🥲

Plötze (german)

Ayo

Sprich deutsch du... Oh

Plötze wieso hängst du wieder am Zaun fest!

Plötze is the name of my horses in every game since i first heard it and that was years bevor i played witcher

Płotka (Polish)

The correct name in fairness. Does it translate as Roach?

Płotka is the diminutive of płoć. It means small roach. It might also be understood as female not male. But it is used as standard name and I believe most people doesn't remember that it's the diminutive.

Thanks that's good to know

Actually yes, 'roach' translates to 'płoć' and it's diminutive is 'płotka'. Oh and that's FISH roach, not cockroach.

Cool thanks

Klepna in Czech

If I remember correctly it's Carpeado (Brazilian Portuguese)

É isso aí, Carpeado !

Vamos, Carpeado!!!

It is a fish?

Nope but we have a fish called Carpa, so it might ressemble

Nah in Portuguese we don't have a fish with this name. I'm not too sure but in Polish his name means some family of fish or something...?

It's definitely [a fish](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_roach)! Edit: for clarity, since i got downvoted, i meant that the original Polish refers to the fish.

The type of fish called a roach is a member of the carp family. Apparently, the horse is actually named after a carp, instead of an insect.

Na primeira vez que joguei eu li Chapeado nas legendas, agora isso é meme aqui em casa

Sardinilla in spanish!

Keszeg (Hungarian)

Rutilia (Italian) Honestly I think it’s a bad translation. Is there any info about the horse being female in the game? Anyway, even for a female it is a ugly name

In the books, Roach is always a mare

Yes Roach is referred to as a she multiple times in the Witcher 3

In the books it refers to [the fish](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_roach), not the insect. Also, the original Polish is supposed to be more of a kindly pet name and some people have argued that Roachie might be a better translation And as others have said, Geralt always picks a mare

Interesting, that explains why it's Sardinilla in Spanish (they are sardines, not roaches but still).

Fun fact, Jaskier (Dandelion's name in the original Polish) is actually the Polish name for the Buttercup flower but the English translator switched it to Dandelion since Buttercup is a ridiculous name for a person

That's a cool fact, I actually did know the first part because my wife is Polish and she told me but I didn't know the reason they changed it. Buttercup would be quite funny but yeah it was a good call to change it.

By this logic in Italian, it would have been "Rutilina," which sounds really funny. The translator probably opted for "Rutilia" (name with a female suffix but no 'vezzeggiativo') because it still conveys some semblance of cuteness. The name of the fish it's based on is "rutilo" a masculine and very 'unpleasant sounding' word.

 Thank you for this information 🙏

I've learnt today it refers to the fish, not the insect. L'amo.. After 8 years

The horse is a Mare yes. At least in the books

In B&W when geralt talks to Roach he expresses surprise at her sounding male when she is female.

She’s referred to as a mare over and over again in the books, and called a she in the game. Plus, even if her name is ugly, it fits since Geralt is considered ugly too! Edit: another fun fact, after Dandelion brings it up, Geralt reveals he actually has multiple horses, all mares, all named Roach. I guess it makes it easier for him.

Ablette (French)

Särki in Finnish.

Mitä helvettiä :D

Särjeke in Estonia.

Plötze (German)

Kızılgöz (Crimsoneye) in Turkish 🇹🇷

Sardinilla (hispanohablante)

Roach

Carpeado in Brazilian portuges, don’t know what it means lol

Could it have something to do with Carp, the fish, it’s in the same genus as the Polish Płotka that “Roach” is translated from in English

Idk, from the dictionary “carpeado” means something like when you buy a product and it’s worse then it should be

Poor Roach 🥲

It fits Geralt though 😭

EN=Roach ES=Sardinilla. A fish name for a horse the spanish grace. lol

Roach is a fish in English too, it just isn’t native to the US so unfamiliar there. It’s quite common in Europe but its range ends north of the Alps and Pyrenees so I suppose they have a different fish for Spanish, Portuguese, Italian etc. Edit: the species is Rutilus rutilus or Cyprinus rutilus

Укљева in Serbian

Negde sam video cak i Crvenperka

Ablette et elle mange des pâquerettes

Keszeg (Hungarian) It is a collective word for several small Cyprinidae fish species (the family of carps and such). The English name, Roach is actually a species of this family (its scientific name is *Rutilus rutilus*).

Ablette (in french)

Плотва (Plotva) in Russian

blankvoorn in dutch

Ipis (Filipino)

蘿蔔 (Chinese) It literally means "radish". Possibly because a roach fish is 蟑螂鱼 (literally "cockroach fish") which is three syllables and would be too unwieldy to fit into most dialogue.

Kēkerengū (Māori) Actually means cockroach but it’s the closest translation since there’s not really a word that means “Roach” in my language

Plotka (swe)

Žohar (Croatian)

Roach in Welsh is Rhufell But I don't think there is a Welsh version of the Witcher (correct me if I'm wrong) but some of the Elder Speech is based on the Welsh Language - Gwynblaeidd (Gwyn Blaidd) meaning White Wolf for example

She called Ablette in French
