Where a Vietnamese word has been borrowed from Chinese, the original Chinese character is shown in parentheses.
| Chinese (Mainland) | 戈德里克山谷 Gēdélǐkè shāngǔ |
戈德里克 Gēdélǐkè = 'Godric'. 山谷 shāngǔ = 'mountain valley, gully'. |
Godric mountain gully |
| Chinese (Taiwan) | 高錐客洞 Gāozhuīkè dòng |
高錐客 Gāozhuīkè = 'Godric'. 洞 dòng = 'cave, hole'. |
Godric's cave |
| Japanese | ゴドリックの谷 Godorikku no tani |
ゴドリックGodorikku = 'Godric'. の no = connecting particle 谷 tani = 'gully'. |
Godric's gully |
| Vietnamese | Thung lũng Godric | thung lũng = 'basin, valley'. Godric = 'Godric'. |
Godric's basin |
This fixes a mistake in Book One, where the Mainland translator translated Godric's Hollow as 高锥克山谷 Gāozhuīkè Shāngǔ, a complete rip-off of the Taiwanese translation. See Place names and Disastrous translations. To mark this change in naming, the Mainland translator is even forced to add a footnote.
The Mainland Chinese translator is not the only one to change names. Earlier in the books, the Vietnamese translator rendered Godric's Hollow as Hố Thần.
