If you wonder why, because in France the French version of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, the name of Nightmare Moon is replaced by Celeniak...
You do not believe me? Here's proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPKtdLaAmKE |

| coolgame17 #292829 1 year ago |
@PonyRIG: I don't know and I am not well placed to know the answer. :\ |

Apparently, Lunatik is scarier than NMM to French. |
| Bnau #292844 1 year ago |
thats nothing, I say only
Zelestia and Equestrian thats how they will speake it in germany |
| coolgame17 #292849 1 year ago |
@292842: Nightmare Moon sounds better than Celeniak.
@Bnau: I know this is not much and it's not dramatic, but the name change gave me the idea to do this. |

They've put an s to sparkle. And the voices are odd. |
| Anonymous #292863 1 year ago |

@coolgame17

| Ponyholic #292909 1 year ago |
Given the name is two English words, it seems reasonable they might change it. |

Here's something I posted a while ago:
Quebec and French bronies, lemme show you what a possible french dub of MLP FiM might look like. Here's France's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRsw-GcI_fg And here's the french Canadian version, because us Québécois like to do things our way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUNgnbGsc5Q&feature=related Now the France version will randomly change names for something stupid... Like "Celeniak"... The one who came up with that is a Goldorak fan for sure. Now, let see how much more retarded the Québec version would be............................... |

Her name is a pun in English, it makes sense that they would change the French version. |

*sigh* Really, why are you guys raising a fuss about this? Culture in France is very different from culture in America, it stands to reason that things will get changed as part of the French localization. It would be one thing if it was an actual French brony complaining about this but from what I can tell the complainers here are American... |
| Anonymous #293569 1 year ago |
That goes for any other translations too, culture in different parts of the world means reactions to things like names are very different, so things have to be changed to keep the same reaction. |

^ I'm French-Canadian Québécois. Read my last post. And as a native french speaker, lemme tell you that "Celeniak" sound completely retarded. ...well, almost as retarded like "Twaylike Sparkaylz". |
| Erin #293735 1 year ago |
Yeah, you're French-Canadian which is vastly different from the french culture in France. |
| xeneres #293803 1 year ago |
TWAI-LAITE SPARKEULZ!
frensh canadian borny here laughing my ass off, but I'm sure it would have been even worse translated here in quebec also I think celeniaque is a mix of "celeste and demoniaque" only explanation I could find |
| chaos_emeralds_of_harmony #294484 1 year ago |
Well I agree there's no reason to keep it as Nightmare Moon considering that's an English pun that you can only get if you speak English. I also like the name Selena. I can't say anything about Celeniaque though. |

Quebec-Canadian French ≠ European French.

Of course you have to fucking blame it on the US...... |

To be fair, they keep Twilight Sparkle's name, and pronounce it very badly. As a french from Europe I'm not too concerned about the change in name. The voice acting doesn't seem stellar though, but that's not a lot of footage either. And I love how they emphazise on Nightmare Moon's arc which takes a whole two episodes like it's gonna be the main focus of the entire season. xD
Really the pronounciation of Twilight Sparkle is unforgivable, just for that I whish all the names could change. >.> |

The Euro French dub is actually Belgian. That studio is somewhat renowned for its cheap, rushed dubs (among which are Naruto and Bleach). |
