100% on the bilingual thing. For my family and I, it's kinda awkward - weird localization failure for such a large corp. Not to mention completely botched translations like the title of Money Heist (actually called The Paper House), which is the dumbest name I've ever seen.
- Cyphase 8y agoI don't think they 'botched' the translation; I think they just thought the name would be more appealing.

- TeMPOraL 8y agoTranslations of movie titles are a pet peeve of mine. They are bad everywhere, and have been since way before the times of Internet streaming. My favourite example is Die Hard, which was translated to Polish as "Szklana Pułapka" (a glass trap). Presumably because the action took place in a skyscraper. I just wish I could have seen the faces of TV execs when they learned that Die Hard 2 came out, and was about airplane hijacking.
- majewsky 8y agoI always love when English movie titles are translated for the German market into different-but-still-English movie titles. My favorite example is Zootopia, which got changed into Zoomania for the German market.
- Grue3 8y agoSeems like Zootopie (Zoo + Utopie) would've worked just fine.

I just wish I could have seen the faces of TV execs when they learned that Die Hard 2 came out, and was about airplane hijacking. Same. In Spanish that title was translated as "La Jungla de Cristal" (The Glass Jungle). There seems to be some common agreement here :D
