More soon!

My 2 cents - the way some names sound in Russian:

Teensies - Tinsy (in some translations Tinzisy); sing. - Tins/Tinzis. I personally use "tins".
Razorbeard - Ostroborod
Robo-Pirates - Robo-piraty (sometimes with a "-", sometimes without)
Razoff we pronounce as R[uh]zoff, not R[ae]zoff
Henchman - Pomoschnik
Begoniax - Begonyak ['bigunYUCK]
Uglette - Agletta
Magician - Mag (official translation); Volshebnik (my translation =) )

Rest - same as in the original.

Here's some Japanese ones cause I'm such a closet weeaboo.

Rayman - Reiman [レイマン]
Ly - Rai [ライ]
Globox - Gurobokksu [グロボックス]
Clark - Kurāku [クラーク]
Teensies - Tīnjīzu [ティーンジーズ]
Polokus - Porokusu [ポロクス]
Murfy - Māfī [マーフィー]
Sssssam - Sassun? [サッスン]
Razorbeard - Rezābiādo [レザービアード]
Jano - Jiyano [ジヤノ]
Rabbids - Rabittsu [ラビッツ]

If I can find any more for any Rayman game [perhaps barring Rayman 3 since that was not released in Japan] I'll post. I knew a Chinese name for Rayman [Leiman] but I can't remember the kanji, and there's also a name for him in Hebrew but eh, can't romanise that for the moment.

Can I put Portuguese names?

If there are any, sure, go ahead.

BTW, I see the topic is growing up

french : "homme-rayon", 'homme-raie' means... well something else

OK.
On Rayman Fanpage (Rayman 2 section, Allies) "Murphy" was called "Les Murphys". I don't know, maybe it's because I can speak French 1%.
I will change it

OK
Better not match these two words, it's unknown what will come up from this ;D

I don't know why, but our translators were too lazy to translate each hoodlum rank, so in Russia, they're all Zlumy (sing. Zlum).

Stacey, them Razoff possibly is Rasofu? I tried to write his name in Japanese on some pics, but not sure if it's right.

Yes. Almost every Hoodlum rank begins on Hood, so there may be like that as well in the other countries. But in Poland, "hood" means "kaptur" (in cloak). And no Polish Hoodlum rank begin with "kaptur"!

@Julia: probably more like "Razoffu" but then again I'm no expert in Japanese scripts, I still haven't learned all the katakanas yet haha.

But, if you know any name in other non-romanian language, just write it in post
You can also write the rules of translating names in Rayman universe.

Rabbids : French : Lapins
Ravings Rabbids : Les lapins crétins

I'll get this more.

RABBIDS
English: Rabbids ("rabbit" replaced with "rabbid")
French: Lapins (no changes)
Polish: Kórliki ("królik" replaced with "kórlik")
German: Hasen

They still use the name Rabbids in Germany.
