What's "anthrax" in YOUR language?

[Darth Ridiculous]

Some of us here, as you all know, are not from English-speaking countries, and I was wondering: does your native word for the anthrax-bactheria sound as menacing/cool as it does in English?

I think it does in Norwegian:

Anthrax = Miltbrann (which loosely translates as "Fire of the spleen")

...

 

[Parviainen]

Pernarutto.

 

[jackfromczech]

"Uhlak" or "snet slezinna"

 

[Arg_Hamster]

Mjältbrand. The translation is the same as in norwegian.

It´s also called Antrax.

 

[Matt Bello]

In french: Charbon de bastille.
But everybody call it Anthrax.

 

[vojdan]

"Uhlak" or "snet slezinna"

Or we call it simply anthrax

 

[Joecephus]

In Croatian it's just "Antraks"

We don't have the letter "x"

Well, Russian idiom for anthrax is "sibirskaya yazva" which translates as "siberian ulcer". The scientist who first developed anti-anthrax vaccine was incidentaly russian microbiologist Elija Mechnikoff. In 1910 or 1912 he even got a Nobel prize for that.

[Miltbrand]

By some coincidence it´s "Miltbrand" in Danish
Same translation as in Norwegian and Swedish!

Siberian ulcer!?!
Damn, I thought I had an ulcer, but apparantly the Russians know what a REAL ulcer is about!

 

[Inside Out]
