The Languages of the Rescue Rangers

The Rescue Rangers have been aired in many countries around the world, including my native Sweden. This page list some common names (with some reservations for the exact spelling of the supporting characters' names) translated into Swedish and Dutch. There's also some other languages' translations below.

In Swedish

Here's some examples on the Swedish translation of the names of the main characters in the show. The show itself is in Swedish titled Piff och Puff Räddningspatrullen, which would retranslate to something like Chip and Dale the Rescue Patrol (or Team).

English name	Swedish name	Notes
Chip	Piff	This is not a normal Swedish first name.
Dale	Puff	This is not a normal Swedish first name. Puff in Swedish is mostly used as in "smokepuff" and "puffed rice" or some cereals brands.
Gadget Hackwrench	Pärlan Sågbock	Means Pearl Sawhorse (Pärlan doesn't have the same sleazy-artist-name value in Swedish as Pearl in English.) As for the surname, I have absolutely no idea why the translator chose Sawhorse.
Monterey Jack	Oskar	A common first name in Sweden
Zipper	Zipper
Fat Cat	Svinpäls	An exact translation would be swine-fur, but it's an expression that means something like dirty crook or swine as in "you're a swine".
Mole	Bulan	Means the bump (There's also an old Swedish expression, bengbulan, that means stupid.)
Mepps	Ragge	Means shaggy
Wart	Vårtan	Means the wart
Snout	?
Norton Nimnul	Gordon Grym	Grym means cruel. Gordon is not a common Swedish first name. Oh, and he's styled doctor Gordon Grym, not professor.
Foxglove	Fladdran	The nearest English equivalent would be Flapper. The ending "-an" implies a female name.

Geegaw Hackwrench	Igor Sågbock	Igor is not a common Swedish name, and I have no idea why the translator choose this Russian style first name.
