    • Twilight Sparkle - 紫悦 (Zi Yue, Purple Happiness)
    • Pinkie Pie - 碧琪 (Bi Qi, Green Jade, transliteration & paraphrase)

Croatian (HRT 2 version)[]

  • All episodes in the Croatian dub are split into two halves, making the first and the second season 52 episodes long each.
  • Many episodes and songs in the Croatian dub use parts of the Serbian Mini dub (audio and/or dialogue/lyrics), and only the different pronunciations are spoken by Croatian voice actors. This Day Aria appears to be an exception as parts of the lyrics have a very close similarity to the Serbian Minimax version instead, quite possibly because the Serbian Mini dub never aired A Canterlot Wedding and thus doesn't exist.
  • In the song "Art of the Dress", Serbian Mini dub's names of characters are used, because they took parts of that song.
  • In A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, Love Is In Bloom uses lyrics from the Serbian Mini version of The Success Song instead of the original ones.
  • Unlike most dubs, the Croatian HRT dub has a tendency to occasionally repeat/loop, overlap and/or leave out various lines of dialogue, as well as add sound clips unrelevant to what's onscreen at the moment in some rare instances despite them or their equivalents not being present in the original audio (probably as a result of careless mixing). One notable example is This Day Aria, which features a case of Pinkie Pie (or rather her voice actor Andrea Baković) shouting "Yay" for no discernible reason after the first line of the song, an out-of-place magic blast sound effect in the middle of the third verse, and two unknown characters shouting "Pazi!" when Cadance takes flight with Twilight on her back.
  • Virtually all character names have been localized to Croatian, with the exception of the Changeling race as a whole (whose species name was completely edited out of the dialogue, resulting in them going unnamed and thus only spoken of with "army", "subjects" and "they change forms").
    • Twilight Sparkle – Iskra Sumrak
    • Pinkie Pie – Roza
    • Applejack – Ivka
    • Rarity – Ljubica
    • Rainbow Dash – Duga Jurić
    • Fluttershy – Plahuljica
    • Spike – Piko
    • Nightmare Moon – Crna princeza
    • Big Mac – Veliki Brat
    • Apple Bloom – Cvjetka
    • Scootaloo – Skakutalo
    • Sweetie Belle – Bela
    • Princess Cadance – Princeza Kadenca
    • Shining Armor – Branimir
    • Queen Chrysalis – Kraljica Kristalina
    • Iron Will – Snažni Siniša
    • Diamond Tiara – Tiara
    • Silver Spoon – Srebrna
    • Discord – Razdor
    • Braeburn – Branko
    • Twist – Twisti
    • Cheerilee – Veselka
    • Little Strongheart – Mala Velikog Srca
    • Derpy Hooves – Dupko
    • The Wonderbolts – Magične Munje
    • Angel – Zečić
    • Owlowiscious – Sovac
    • Opalescence – Mica, Opal, Opalescence
  • Cutie Marks are sometime referred to as "Znakići", but are later referred to as "Biljezi".

Croatian (RTL version)[]

  • The theme song reuses lyrics from the HRT dub, with new singers and a few alterations (namely, a partially rewritten last line and the second to last line - not counting the "My little pony" portions - having the last two words swapped around).
  • Almost all names use the original English ones, and those that don't were translated.
    • Everfree Forest - Zlokobna Šuma
    • The Wonderbolts - Leteće Strijele
    • Nightmare Moon - Tamnoroga
    • Sweet Apple Acres - Slatki Jabučnjak
    • Cutie Mark Crusaders - Osvajačice biljega
    • Earth ponies - Prvi poniji
    • Cutie Marks are referred to as "Znak" (in Friendship is Magic, part 2), "Biljeg" (most episodes), and "Slatki Biljeg" (other episodes).
    • In Bridle Gossip, Poison Joke is referred to as Plava Trava.
  • In Feeling Pinkie Keen, Gummy is classified as a crocodile rather than an alligator.
  • In Owl's Well That Ends Well, due to the nature of the language, Owlowiscious' name is pronounced as "Auvlišiz" (/aʊlɪʃɪs/).

  • In every episode of the show, except for The Best Night Ever, Spitfire was voiced by various male voice actors.
