Well in Norwegian the first book has the title: The Stone for the Wise... Or something close to that, Wise is a fucking hard word to get translated correctly in the tense I want, I mean the Wise as in a specific person, maybe "The Wise's Stone" is better?

Stone of the Wise One?

[making_excuses]

I dunno, like Philosophers stone, just switch Philosopher with Wise

[inkdust]

It's nice when languages can turn adjectives into nouns easily. English is stuck putting "one" at the end all the time.

[scrubber]

What a cool thing to refer to a person as a "Wise"...

I'm writing that down.

[tinypinkmouse]

Finnish and Swedish actually have the same translation. I'm pretty sure that's what a Philosopher's stone has always been translated to in those languages, so the translations are actually using the same legend of a philosopher's stone (in alchemy and the like) as a source for the translation.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep they did the same thing in Dutch (Steen de Wijzen) which is the name of the stone/legend in Dutch.

[hwc]

In German it's Stein der Weisen, which is what the Philosopher's stone is called in German.

[kamino_neko]

'Wise man' would probably be the most accurate English translation. Or 'wise person', to be more gender-neutral, but that's not a set phrase.

Which would pretty much be a direct translation of 'philosopher'.
