Does anyone know if there is a translation for the word "Kraken"?

Question

The Kraken: giant sea monster.

Answer 1

It is a fabulous Scandinavian monster (and a Norwegian word), so there is no translation for it, and I've always seen it written "Kraken" in Spanish.

Answer 2

Spanish Wikipedia has the kraken article under "kraken." So I'd say "kraken" simply translates to "kraken."

That's an awesome question, by the way.

• It is an interesting question. I started to tell him that proper names aren't usually translated unless for pronuciation, but then I thought Kraken probably isn't how it is written in the original greek or latin so I guess we do translate proper names. - qfreed 26 de Ago, 2009

Answer 3

Well I didn't find "Kraken", but I found Sea monster.

Sea-monster = monstruo marino

Answer 4

"Kraken" is a mithologic creature it has the same name in Spanish.
