Star Wars subtitles gone haywire
October 12th, 2006. Filed under: Humour, PicturesThis mass-forwarded email has reached my inbox. Its so funny I just have to share it with you guys. Kudos to the dude who started the chain. Enjoy!
Hilarious rendition of Star Wars in Chinglish
amazingly enough, the beginning scroll is mistranslated even though the words are right there on the screen.
Star war (just one)
‘The backstroke of the west’ is the English translation of the chinese title.
Anakin: “this is where the fun begins”
Obi Wan: “Let them pass between us”
Obi Wan, space battle strategist.
Anonymous doomed pilot: “They’re all over me!”
Obi Wan grows impatient with R2.
the chancellor warns Anakin and Obi Wan that Count Dooku is… big.
Obi Wan assures the chancellor that it’s no problem.
Count Dooku talks tough.
that’s Chancellor Palpatine speaking, talking about Obi Wan.
Anakin taunts General Grevious.
the General fires off a snappy comeback.
ummm… ????
Yoda: “Premonitions? Premonitions?”
sounds like something Yoda might actually say… maybe.
Anakin is haunted by dreamses.
troopseses!
Anakin gets frustrated with the Jedi council.
this seemed completely random until I figured out that ‘Jedi Council’ was being translated into Chinese then back to English as ‘the Presbyterian Church’.
Anakin: “Obi Wan, may the force be with you”
Anakin bargains for the life of his cuckoldry. Cuckoldry?
C3PO tells the amorous couple to get a room.
Obi Wan can’t face what he must do.
Yoda insists…
…and explains that the person he once knew noed longer is.
Anakin tells Padme about his new virtues, now being both strong and big.
Padme doesn’t want strong and big – she also doesn’t want to walk on a road meant for running about.
Lier!!!
Obi Wan has heard enough.
I love this translation. Darth Vader is actually shouting, “Nooooooooooooo…”
Insanely funny,love this stuff

November 16th, 2009 at 12:43 amBut seriously folks, what is going on here? What are we looking at? A bootleg of some kind?
What circumstances would require/produce english subtitles obviously translated from a bad verbal translation into whatever dialect then back to written english?
Where is the fail here exactly? Literacy or linguistic or verbal or all of the above?
Like the first panel throws everything out of whack, how in the world did that get mistranslated?
Perhaps it was automated? Like some sort of hearing impaired option built into a device?
I’m just confused as hell.

November 16th, 2009 at 3:28 amwhy would there be english subtitles. this makes no sense. fake
hmm
November 16th, 2009 at 5:45 amOh, this is most definitely real. I saw a friend’s copy of X-men that he bought in China and its “English” subtitles were just as crazy.
It happens when the bootleggers try to make their copy as close to an official copy as possible, which of course includes having English subtitles.
The audio is run through a translator into Mandarin and then they translate the Mandarin back to English using the same automated process. That’s when unintentional hilarity ensues.
