I collect TinTin commics in different languages, out of this fantasy that attempting to read them is going to teach me those languages (I mean, it can't hurt, right?). And I was completely blown away that Snowy has a different name in most of the different versions (most of the time, it's some variation of the translation of "chalky"), but Cpt Haddock is always "Haddock".

Haddock's curses are also great. Mille sabords! That's "blistering barnacles" to you anglophones. It actually means "a thousand portholes" which would not sound very impressive coming from somebody other than Captain Haddock.
