So, I'm currently re-reading the 1632 books, and one thing that's frustrating me is how to read the various German and other non-English names in the book (I cannot read without subvocalizing the dialogue). On one hand, I know how most of these words should be pronounced. On the other hand, there's no way that most of the uptimer characters are going to not speak German with a heavy American accent (and it doesn't help that the authors anglicize a lot of place names, such as Thüringen -> Thuringia). So part of me wants to subvocalize the dialogue the way the words are supposed to be pronounced, and another part of me wants to subvocalize the dialogue the way the uptimers would actually pronounce them.
