In German, the fish vendor is called "Verleihnix" (I don't lend any) and his catchphrase is: I don't lend any fishes!
Because people always ask him if they can borrow a fish for the fight and return it.
Now I'm interested, what's the original name and catchphrase of this character?
His name is Ordralfabétix (alphabetical order) and has nothing to do with its catchphrase "Il est pas frais mon poisson?"
It is because he often fight with the black-smith (Cétautomatix, "it’s automatic") about his fish not being fresh.
French names and their traduction in several languages are listed on this wiki.
Most of them are only puns, like in the film I was talking in my previous comment, the engineer invented the "sansefforceur" (no effort-er) which is basically an elevator. The engineer name ? Otis, of course.
