I read it a few times, in English and in Dutch. Here is a list of differences
between the English and the Dutch versions:
| English | Dutch |
| Earth is destructed on Thursday | Earth is destructed on Wednesday. In the fourth book, this is again replaced by Thursday |
| The planet of the robots is called Krikkit | The planet is called Hokkie (Hockey). In the fourth book, this is again replaced by Krikkit |
| "Ford Prefect" | "Amro Bank" (a largish bank in The Netherlands) |
| "Slartibartfast" | "Magdiragdag" |
| ... use of the word "Fuck" ... | ... gebruik van het woord "Kut" ... (Cunt in English) |
