#also nothing beats squid game just providing a completely different wording for An English Part

[tardis--dreams]

In his first scene, when yohan says "(I am the authority) 제가 제가 제가!" And the subtitles say "I, me, Kang Yohan" a little part inside of me dies every time

#i want to know what translators are thinking and how they get to their translation decision #because we once learned to translate 'as closely as possible to the original' and not add anything new #like i see that it Means the same #제가 is a diectic expression and yohan is the one it points to #but you can still translate it with 'I I I' or 'me me me'? why change it every time? #like people can probably Tell he's not saying three different words in the original #(cause of death: got too upset by inaccurate drama subtitles ) #this reminds me of beyond evil and that one translation of the rain scene where hjw says 'i will be tormented' #instead of 'i will go to hell'. why #why on earth #theres more examples #also nothing beats squid game just providing a completely different wording for An English Part #i mean it only can upset me to a very limited degree if there's something 'off' with the korean translation (or lets say when it's #different from how i would have translated it) but if they already speak English and the subtitles do not match the actual words #i need to pause and walk around my room in utter disbelief #ok ill shut up now
