i had a small introduction into translation during which we translated poems, prose and other texts, and the translations techniques and challenges varied so so much.

it is an art, and i value translators so so much. (considering current developments i'm still very glad i chose another career)

@Gargron

i do appreciate automatic subtitles extremely for hitting all my humor-chords. may they never evolve.

that being said:
i am lucky and able to read in several languages and read a lot of our bookclub books in original language. i can't count how many times i liked books that many of the others couldn't even finish their translated ones (assumedly) because the language was so poor. (and then we have those who listen to books and it totally depends on the person who was recorded.

@Sonikku @benroyce @Gargron

this kind of bad translations /autosubtitles is the best comedy to my neurodivergent brain.

i speak several languages and always try to find out where it went wrong too, so it's educating too
