"Redatriation" - Megs Origin question

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 4:11 pm

I'm translating the Megatron Origin comic to hungarian, and was buffled by this word... it's the description (perhaps class?) of the prison brig Longshot, seen on page 18.

I've googled 'Redatriation' and only found out that it's a typo from the Megs Origin comic.

So anyone knows what the original word was and what it means?

Thanks!

BB

Is my best guess.

Agreed.

Just another thing wrong with that bloody comic.

1. to bring or send back (a person, esp. a prisoner of war, a refugee, etc.) to his or her country or land of citizenship.

I'd guess that makes sense, since it's a prison ship... but I'd never have guessed this one.

Thanks for the help, Brendocon!

I'm translating Marvel UK but people are pushing me to translate the Origin too... not that I like that comic. Many stupid lines, especially the ones Decimus says...what's with the constant "Hmm?"s in pretty inappropriate places?

Yep, I think sprunk nailed that one.

Thanks, guys. Who knows, I might write another one.

(Actually, I've started something like three, but then life happened and happened again...)
