It's mostly Gaelic they are translating for you, I'd imagine. The sound of it is very interesting to me and the story line, being Scottish, would hardly be the same without the 'home' language. if you have NOT read the books -- there are 9 gloriously HUGE books in the series -- do yourself a favor and find them used at Amazon, they are so much fun and SO addictive!! I started them early last fall and am now on my 3rd trip thru reading them ALL again. The actors chosen for the parts are so spot on that the STARZ show has brought the whole series to life for thousands and thousands of fans. Dina Gabaldon is an amazing wordsmith!
Jan in VA, a HUGE fan!
