You mentioned elsewhere that the dialogue was one of the last things to be written. I'm assuming it was written in German first?

I'm just curious about the translation process - did you (or someone else at HoT) translate the dialogue in-house? Was there any need to involve native English speakers as consultants? Any issues getting idioms / jokes / slang translated so that they still worked once they were translated?
