I need help with Portuguese and Spanish names

 Hello Sigvald:

 I speak and I have read comics in Spanish (my native language). Although in my
 country (Perú) never produced comics, I could buy comics of Mexico, Chile,
 Argentina and Colombia. And from time to time some coming from Spain. Although
 in Latin America there were several agreements with the names, many names
 translated by Spain differed enough of those used in America.
 GIL PATO or TÍO GILITO? Of where that name came out? If there is some from
 Spanish in the list,  would request him, than did me the great favor of
 explaining to me if "GIL" has some special connotation in Spain.
 In America it is good known as RICO Mc PATO, disappearing the original name of
 Scrooge (to think that their true name newly discovered it only seven years ago
 when his adventures have read them more than for 30 years)

 Regrettably at the present time only comics of second hand or "offers" coming
 from United States arrive to my country. And they are sometimes expensive. For
 that reason I have liked a lot to find this List and their interest for the
 family of Ducks and of the generosity of their members in sharing information
 and comics escaneados.

 Wanting to contribute my grain of sand I am giving some translations to the
 spanish (of Latin America):

 JOSÉ CARIOCA is well written

 PANCHITO PISTOLAS is the correct name, no "Pistoles"

 I possess an ago 20 year-old old Mexican magazine where the printed history is
 "The old castles
 secret".
 There are Scottie McTerrier is simply called Mc TON and Sir Quackly is called
 SIR GRAZNÓN (if you want I send you the escaneado from that page to your
 personal e-mail).

 Of the other names that are more recent I don't have reference.

 Personally I am not in favor that the Own names are translated in other
 languages. These should always be same, but maybe it would not be of the
popular
 acceptance characteristic of each country.

 Greetings

 DAVID
