Asterix was first translated into Slovenian in the early 1990s, bringing the beloved comic series to Slovenian readers. The translation was carefully adapted to preserve the humor, wordplay, and unique character traits of the original French version. Several publishers have released the series over the years, including more recent editions that have updated the translations for contemporary readers.
