Yeah, so really there are at least 3 translations of Lord of the Rings, to continue that example, and I was being a typical Bokmål user and ignored Nynorsk.

The title differences are also a good illustration of how different it can be:

Bokmål: Kampen om Ringen, Ringenes Herre (the first one is literally "the battle for the ring")

Nynorsk: Ringdrotten
