I thought this was interesting. The new Brazilian edition of Ender's Game that's been posted on Hatrack for forever is entitled "O Jogo do Exterminador." I don't speak Portuguese, but did they translate "Ender's Game" as "The Game of the Exterminator"? That's an interesting translation, since readers of the book know that "Ender" is just Valentine's way of pronouncing "Andrew." I wish I could read the Portuguese version: how will it explain that the main character's sister can't pronounce "Andrew," so she just calls him "the Destroyer" or whatever.

You are correct, it means "The game of the Exterminator" or just as valid "The Exterminator's game"
