What's the wildest translation you've ever seen?

In an Assassin's Creed game they translated "chicken pot pie" as an empanada

Which is technically correct (the best kind of correct). But I did a double-take because I'd played the game in English first

Food terms are always very difficult to translate; a chicken pot pie is a kind of dish where you have chicken and vegetables and a thick sauce/gravy and it's topped with pastry dough [para los hispanohablantes: the "pie" being like tarta, and "pot" being olla like a stew pot, pues es un chicken pot pie es algo como un estofado de pollo con hojaldre encima].

And empanada literally means "covered in bread", so it does technically make sense but it is not at all what I think of when I hear empanada

-

The wildest/best translation I've ever seen is the translation of "Much Ado About Nothing" the Shakespeare play, which is translated as Mucho ruido y pocas nueces

In Spanish, the translation is literally "a lot of noise and few nuts" which refers to the idea of hitting a tree to get the nuts to fall down, but instead all you're doing is wasting effort and making lots of noise

However! The pun in English is that "nothing" [nada] was slang for women, who had "nothing" in between their legs

The Spanish translation perfectly captures the double meaning as la nuez does mean "nut" [usually "walnut"], but it also means "Adam's apple", and of course, could be understood as slang for testicles

This is the kind of god-like translation I aspire to

Imagine a rude and noisy guy called Guido.

The guy pictured is Michael Sorrentino, also known by his nickname The Situation from MTV reality show Jersey Shore. Apparently he’s a self-proclaimed Guido, a slang term for working-class urban Italian Americans.

t quiero mucho much ado about nothing (2011)

[blondeforyou]

"Mucho". Long story but that's my 'much ado about nothing' tag. Would you be willing to elaborate? I'm very curious.

Hahaha, I would love to! (It's not actually that long of a story, but it is fun)

Many moons ago, my irl BFF and I discovered Tennant and Tate's performance of Benedick and Beatrice from 2011. At the time, the only version we could find was a recording on YouTube that only included the scenes Tennant and Tate were in, all other scenes had been cut. It was maybe 50-60 minutes long. We watched that video nearly non stop for MONTHS, at least once a day if not more.

Of course one night I had to watch it tipsy. And I'm texting my BFF while watching it. Texting while tipsy is dangerous sometimes, and I sent "Mucho Ado" instead of the actual name of the show

That sent us both into absolute fits of laughter: me, drunk, and her, laughing at my drunkenness.

Ever since, we have both referred to Much Ado About Nothing as simply Mucho 🤣

Cant stop thinking about your mucho ado about nothing fic it’s genuinely in my top 3 eren fics, it has no flaws bro just the writing style the dialogue the pacing the layout of it all bro im going crazy. Definitely deserves a trillion notes

it's so so so fun to write, and it has lower engagement than my one shots which is understandable bc less smut and kind of a beast to start getting into, but it makes comments like this even more meaningful!!! i am so proud of it plug!eren is a daydream and he literally consumes my mind 24/7 LOL i love him

this literally made my entire day and was the perf motivation as i opened my laptop to keep working on chapter 6:)

you've got to admire Don John for admitting to being a plain-dealing villain. Clear and concise. No pretensions of being good but accidentally doing bad things. He's evil and he likes to do his evil little things.

beatrice and benedick much ado both express an emotion that i very much relate to, which is 'my attraction to you has increased tenfold upon learning of your attraction to me'

[apesoformythoughts]

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,  Men were deceivers ever,  One foot in sea and one on shore

[antiqua-lugar]

the confrontation at the altar and benedick's proof of his love being the fact that he stays behind and believes the women
