So, in here, this forum, are probably lots of people who've read Lotr and other Tolkien-books in some other langiage than English.
Now I'm curious about the translations: What is 'Baggins' on spanish? or 'Strider' in swedish?
After all, Tolkien insisted that all the english terms must be translated.

Here are some terms, names and places in Finnish.

Lord of the Rings = Taru Sormusten Herrasta
Baggins = Reppuli (Reppu=a backbag)
Strider = Konkari
Gollum = Klonkku
Hobbiton = Hobittila
Shire = Kontu
Bag End = Repunpää (= "Bag's head)
Mirkwood = Synkmetsä
Mount Doom = Tuomionvuori (Tuomio = Doom, Vuori=Mountain)
Misty Mountains = Sumuvuoret (Sumu = fog)
Bree = Brii
Weathertop = Viimapää (Viima=Wind)
Isengard = Rautapiha (Rauta=iron, Piha=yard garden)
Hobbit = Hobitti
Ringwraiths = Sormusaaveet (Sormus=Ring, Aaveet=Ghosts, wraiths)
Orc = Örkki
Troll = Peikko
Man = ihminen
Elf = haltia
Dwarf = kääpiö
Goblin = Hiisi

Three Rings For the elven kings under the sky = kolme sormusta haltiakuninkaille alla auringon
seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone = seustemän kääpiöruhtinaille kivisaleissaan
nine for the mortal men who doomed to die = yhdeksän ihmisille jotka vie tuoni armoton
one for the Dark Lord on his dark throne = yksi Mustalle Ruhtinaalle valtaistuimellaan
in the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie = Maassa Mordorin joka varjojen peittämä on
one ring to find them all = yksi sormus löytää heidät
one ring to rule them = se yksi heitä hallitsee
one ring to take them all and in the darkness bind them = se yksi heidät yöhön syöksee ja pimeyteen kahlitsee
