Cultural Translation	comment	When a show is redubbed for release in another country, the dubbers will often replace the cultural references with others more easily recognized by the foreign audience. In the best of cases, Cultural Translation will change obscure cultural references that many viewers would not "get" into related, but more familiar, footnotes without interrupting the flow. In the worst of cases, it can come off as a pandering attempt to edit anything vaguely foreign or potentially offensive out, even when the images make it blatantly clear that the characters aren't, and were never, in [insert home country here]. Willing Suspension of Disbelief gets a hard day from overzealous Cultural Translation in a Foreign Remake. On the other hand, if the work is set somewhere other than where it was created, this trope could help to correct Creator's Culture Carryover if done in the same country of setting. Compare with Woolseyism, where the changes are generally made for aesthetic reasons, and rather than translating the concept, instead replace the original with something completely different but which fits better with the new target audience. For subtropes, see Accent Adaptation, American Kirby Is Hardcore, Dub Name Change, Dub Personality Change, Keep It Foreign. For when this trope is attempted to the point of trying (and often failing) to hide its true country of origin, see Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change. The Other Wiki has a page on this.

Cultural Translation / int_14f9297e	comment	One of Gary Larson's The Far Side comics was a whale singing into a microphone underwater (referencing whale song). The caption originally read "A Louie, Louie... wowoooo... We gotta go now...", but was changed for the Danish book version into "I'm singing in the rain..." because that was more of an international hit. In the collection Prehistory of the Far Side, Larson noted that he found the Danish version funnier in retrospect.

As a result, the soundtrack had a more country feel to it, with banjos and harmonicas as the primary instruments, which was also appropriate because of Florida's close proximity to Georgia, where Song of the South is set. "Burrow's Lament" was the only exception, using an orchestral track with timpani drums originally recorded for the Disneyland version.

Movie was co-produced by Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment, and released in the United States before it did in Japan due to the latter company's involvement. The "Super Japanese version" of the movie replaces the English script with one written by Nintendo for Japanese audiences. Changes include reducing the sarcasm and "Amerikan Jooku" (jokes), more use of Japanese wordplay, more subtle use of honorifics, and minor changes to characters' personalities.

Cultural Translation / int_1bdeba5a	comment	There was a French digest compiling several issues of various, mostly X-Men-related Marvel comics (which bore the name Titans somewhat ironically) printed from the late 70s to the early 90s, in which the names of American superheroes were a wide selection of direct translations, non-translations, and cultural translations. Phoenix was directly translated as "PhÃ©nix" whereas Colossus was still "Colossus", probably because the French "Colosse" was already being used for the Blob. And in most translations, "Nightcrawler" is "Diablo" probably because of his demonic appearance (quite unfortunate, since part of his character is being religious and having a tragic backstory involving his looks). Wolverine (this was well before the character became a household name) became "Serval", as the exact translation of "wolverine" is "glouton", which also means "big eater", not really appropriate for a super-hero. The editor also justified the Serval translation by saying servals were the only other animals whose sense of smell was comparable with that of a wolverine. "Serval" was eventually dropped and Wolverine switched back to his original name in most current French-language versions. Wolfsbane of the New Mutants was translated as "FÃ©lina". They actually considered a more literal translation like "Louva" note "louve" is French for "female wolf", but somehow found it awkward-sounding. Although the Teen Titans were published at the same time, the mag that featured it was titled "Les jeunes T." (Young T.), presumably to avoid using a similar title. In the early 80s, the French editor who published the Avengers and the Defenders lost the rights to Marvel comics. Undeterred, they would go on to publish the Legion of Superheroes and Infinity Inc series without changing the French names of the magazines (Les Vengeurs and Les Defenseurs). French readers were confused, to say the least.

The Food Network seems to get that a lot of people watched the show for the cooking and the dramatic competition, with a dash of camp, rather than the other way around. Iron Chef America is unusual as it's more of a spin-off: the original "chairman" is mentioned as the new "chairman" is supposedly his nephew.

This was a simple process as the two countries are so similar that changing the setting could be achieved by only localizing the character and location names.

It was adapted into an American movie about a fictional person's obsession with baseball's Boston Red Sox. Conveniently, the word "pitch" applies to both football/soccer and baseball, so the title remained the same. The ending had to be changed at the last minute due to the Sox actually winning the World Series. The ending actually mirrors that of the British-made first film adaptation, in which Arsenal wins the First Division for the first time in 18 years. Unlike the Sox win, the Arsenal win was, at that time, historical fact.

The emotions of Riley's dad are seen watching a game of hockey, keeping to the stereotype of the family coming from Minnesota.

Cultural Translation / int_36a99a80	comment	Shrek: The Polish dub of the movies is full of Polish pop-culture references. For example, Donkey sings the theme song of a Polish TV drama when Shrek decides to go to the Potion Factory in Shrek 2. The original Hebrew dub of Shrek 2 changes the line "give him the Bob Barker treatment" (i.e. neuter him) to "give him the David D'Or treatment" (David D'Or is an Israeli countertenor). After the singer threatened to sue, the line was changed. In the Czech dub, the "let's neuter him" line continued "we're not Srstka and Kubisova", which referenced two very well-known celebrities (a stuntman/actor/moderator/sportsman and a singer) who are known as animal lovers and devoted to a long running pet adoption TV programme. In the Spain dub, Shrek and Donkey were voiced by the sketch-comedy duo Cruz y Raya, and their dialogue incorporated some of their running gags. In the Japanese dub, Shrek's original Scottish-ish accent is rendered as a Kansai accent (due to analogous cultural associations between the two accents). From the Norwegian dub: Shrek, when asked by Fiona what kind of knight he is, alluding to his dub voice actor (children's show host Asgeir Borgermoen, who'd jokingly refer to himself as "boss over all bosses") and claiming to be "knight over all knights". The Portuguese dub gives him a Porto accent. In Shrek 2, the Brazilian dub changed the reference to Shirley Bassey (when Donkey says that a bush looks like her), mentioning the Brazilian singer FafÃ¡ de BelÃ©m instead. It also changed the reason why the bush resembles the singer: in Bassey's case, it's the arms pose; in FafÃ¡'s case, it's the bust size.

Cultural Translation / int_37ea664b	comment	When the X-Men comics were first published in Finland in the 1980s, most of the character names were translated literally if they had cool-sounding Finnish equivalents, such as with Cyclops ("Kyklooppi") or Colossus ("Kolossi"). However, with some other names they came up with rather unusual localizations. Nightcrawler became "Painajainen" ("Nightmare"), possibly because the translator didn't know what a "nightcrawler" was, and thought it had something to do with nightmares. The name of the villain "Arcade" would literally translate to "game hall", which obviously isn't a good name for character... So he became, rather inexplicably, "Armoton" ("Merciless"), which has little do with the original English name, except that both words begin with Ar-. As for the X-Factor villain Apocalypse, the translator was under the impression that the word "apocalypse" translates to "The Book of Revelations", and he didn't want the villain to be called a "book", so he was given the much more generic name "Tuho" ("Destruction").

Cultural Translation / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: The first book had Americanization in addition to its title change, and despite selling well (to say the least) the publishers bore the criticism they received about it in mind when releasing the later books. Once the series became reliably popular in America, Harry always wore "trainers" instead of "sneakers", Ginny Weasley wore a "jumper" instead of a "sweater", Hogwarts served "chips" at its start-of-term feast instead of "fries", and Dean Thomas liked "football" instead of "soccer". That said, the books still continued to have textual changes to reflect the differences between British and American English to prevent legitimately confusing Americans unfamiliar with terminology beyond differences well-known in the mainstream. Averted in the version of The Order of the Phoenix released in the US, which led to hilarious consequences. The book has Filch "punting" students across the swamp left behind by Fred and George. "Punting" in British English means manuevering a flat boat, often with a pole. In the US, the term "punting" is associated with grid-iron football, in which a player drop-kicks the ball for a field goal. This led to a significant portion of American readers thinking Filch was drop-kicking students across the swamp...and not questioning it, because that's not out of character for him. And there were some things that had no direct cultural translation without massively altering the story, so the early 2020s saw a small trend on social media of now-adult Americans sharing things about the series they thought were magical, but were actually just British. Ron still calls his mother 'Mum' however. J. K. Rowling put her foot down for that one, saying in an interview "Mrs Weasley is NOT a 'mom'". The Danish translation sometimes replaces typical British food with alternatives that are more known to Danish readers. For example, the steak and kidney pie in Chapter 9 of the first book is replaced with minced meat patty, and the sherbet lemon that Dumbledore mentions in the very first chapter is reverse-translated into "citronsorbet" (lemon sherbet) which is ice cream (a sweet similar to sherbet lemon is eaten in Denmark, but ice cream is much more popular). Similarly, "lemon sherbet" was replaced with Krembo, a popular Israeli candy, in the Hebrew translation. Arabic translations of the series omit any references to alcohol use, except by Death Eaters, and remove any mention of pork, since both are forbidden in Islam. They also removed every mention of characters kissing, even on the cheek, to appease religiously conservative readers. The Hebrew translation, however, did not omit pork, since the characters aren't Jewish. For a scene where Sirius sings a Christmas carol, the Hebrew version replaced it with a Hanukkah song, since Israelis aren't as familiar with cultural Christianity. The Yiddish version, however, left in references to Christianity, reasoning that its audience would be familiar enough with them. In Yiddish, the Golden Snitch is called "goldene flaterl" (golden butterfly), since butterflies are a common symbol in Yiddish folktales. In the Polish version of Deathly Hallows, the Snatchers are called Szmalcownicy, a term for Poles who sold out Jews to the Nazis.

The Dutch version did the same thing but with a bunny instead. In both cases, it works because the raccoon is never shown directly, so it could easily be made into another cute furry animal without needing to edit any of the illustrations. In the French translation, a reference to the different varieties of peanut butter (chunky and extra chunky) was changed to jam (strawberry and raspberry). References to dollars were also changed to francs or euros, despite the characters still mentioning that they live in the U.S.

Cultural Translation / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers sometimes does this when they're sticking especially close to the Super Sentai scripts. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger's Sixth Ranger was an aspiring sushi chef, with the motif extending to his Ranger gear (a fish-shaped sword and scabbard, lobster and squid mecha, etc.). Power Rangers Samurai adapted the character's seafood theme by making his counterpart a fisherman instead. Antonio does still have the portable restaurant stand, though; mostly, the names of dishes that you'd have to be Japanese to know get removed/changed. However, Genta's Transformation Trinket looks just like one such sushi dish; because that wouldn't translate, Antonio's is different. So after the episode where he's turned into sushi and nearly eaten by a cat, where Shinkenger has Genta afraid to use his Sushi Changer because of the flashbacks he gets, this wouldn't make sense; the same plot is used but the source of the fear is that Antonio's sword looks like fish. Likewise, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger features a Sixth Ranger who is a cowboy with a rock guitar weapon, with both aspects tying into him being Japanese-American (but still played by a full-blooded Japanese actor). Power Rangers Ninja Steel justifies both by having the character be a country music singer.

Cultural Translation / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: After some deliberation on her blog, one of the Hungarian translators of Terry Pratchett's novels decided to translate the name of the character Susan to Hungarian Zsuzsa. This hasn't met with universal approval among fans, some of whom pointed out that Sto Helit (where Susan is from) was so obviously unlike Hungary that giving her a Hungarian name was jarring. The translator really made a heroic effort to get most of the puns translated, and leaving Susan's name alone would have displeased the other half of the fandom. An essay in The Discworld Companion describes the thought processes of the translator dealing with the Dutch editions. Rendering Granny Weatherwax as Opoe Wedersmeer was literal, and as a bonus, conveyed something of the character into Dutch. But Dutch does not have the cultural meme of the split-level Morris Minor to describe an elderly broomstick that winces into action now and again. Therefore an exclusively British reference was replaced with a Dutch idiom roughly equating to "granny's bike". Holland may not have Morris Minors, but it does have creaking one-speed clumsy bicycles with no gears and bad brakes. The same essay also says that, more generally, while the German and French translators of the books feel comfortable replacing all the cultural indicators, so "The Sto Plains is basically the UK" becomes "The Sto Plains is basically France/Germany", the Dutch translator has to be more careful; the idea that a British author knows about Dutch cultural signifiers can be jarring, never mind a fantasy character. A French reader might assume We All Live In France, but a Dutch one is well aware we don't all live in the Netherlands. The Truth: The Czech translator was given a different problem. Vampire Otto Chriek, in-universe, comes from a remote Slavonic corner of the Discworld. To reinforce this, in a moment of great stress he is given a long heartfelt expletive to shriek in his native language. In the English version, Bodrovaskie Zheijet! is a meaningless piece of cod-Slavic. The translator's problem lay in making this meaningful in a Slavonic language. Did he replace it with a real swear word? Did he fudge around it? In the end, for the Czech market, he wrote Otto in subtle little ways suggesting he was Russian and left the cod-Slavic exactly as it was in English, reasoning his audience would not be offended and would understand only an uncouth Russian would swear as luridly as that, what could we cultured Czechs expect from Russians? The Czech translator of The Truth was the Czech translator of the whole series who regularly attended fan meetings, so by that point he probably knew pretty well what to expect from his readers. The translator approached to do the Polish version allegedly threw his hands up in horror, declaring that he did not consider it possible to think like that in Polish. Soul Music controversially replaced many of the cultural references with Hungarian ones. Pyramids: There is a footnote explaining that an ambassador is dressing with various Djelibebian pieces of clothing that would amount to someone entering Buckingham Palace with a mishmash of pieces of British clothing from the last five centuries. The French translation changes Buckingham to the ElysÃ©e Palace and adapts the pieces of clothing accordingly (e.g. a bowler hat becomes a bÃ©ret, etc).

In "Akane no Mai", it is revealed that Sizemore engaged in Self-Plagiarism when he recycled the outlaw attack on the Mariposa Saloon in Westworld for an outlaw attack in the Japanese themed park, Shogunworld. Both attacks happen while localized versions of "Paint in Black" play in the background. Hector's scarred, black-clad outlaw equivalent is Musashi, a scarred, black-clad ronin who used to work for the Shogun before defecting. Hector's narrative includes killing Sweetwater's Sheriff, stealing his horse and rifle, shooting the Sheriff's deputy with it when he recognizes the horse, handing the rifle to Armistice, and storming the Saloon with a sawed-off shotgun. Musashi kills one "Yoriki Yamato", steals his horse and sodegarami, kills one of the Shogun's men when he calls him on it, hands the sodegarami to Hanaryo, and storms a brothel with his katana. Armistice is a (female) expert marksman with a snake face tattoo who covers the saloon's entrance by shooting anyone who comes close to it; Hanaryo is a (female) expert archer with a dragon face tattoo who covers the brothel's entrance by arrowing the charging Shogun's guards. Saloon prostitutes Maeve and Clementine are replaced by two geishas, Akane and Sakura. The Saloon's bartender, who is shot by Hector without a word, is replaced with a Chinese ambassador who tries to invoke You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With before being slashed by Musashi.

The patient asks if he can drive to a restaurant that he used to go and House sarcastically hands him the keys to his own car, declaring that they put so many drugs in his system that he has now better reflexes than NASCAR pilot Dale Earnhardt, Jr. In Spain, the pilot was changed to Formula One's Fernando Alonso, and in Germany to Michael Schumacher. The latter ceased to be funny six years later, when Schumacher went into a coma after a skiing accident.

In a bad execution of this trope, a collection of MAD comics from the early 40's-50's released in Italy in 2008-2009 replaced many of the references... but not in a way that makes sense, meaning that the readers got comics clearly made in the US ages ago that contain multiple references to Italian celebrities and politicians from 60 years later.

For the Italian dub, Disney wanted to keep the "language barrier" gag and did so in a unique way. While the rest of the characters were dubbed into standard Italian, Guido wasn't. Instead, he was dubbed into the very distinctive local dialect of Modena (home to Ferrari, which Guido and especially his partner Luigi ardently support in-universe). In Cars 2, during the scene where Lightning talks with Lewis Hamilton and Jeff Gorvette at the World Grand Prix kickoff party in Tokyo, specific foreign countries replace Jeff with another racer native to the country the film is dubbed; Australia has Frosty Winterbumper, Russia has Vitaly Petrov, China has Long Ge, Spain has Fernando Alonso, Sweden has Jan Nilsson, and Latin America has Memo Rojas, Jr.

Cultural Translation / int_7680545c	comment	The Italian dub of The Nanny rewrites Fran as an Italian immigrant, Francesca Cacace. Her mother Sylvia becomes her aunt Assunta (with her father Morty becoming uncle Antonio). Oddly enough Yetta's Polish origins are retained, although she's not portrayed as Fran's grandmother, but as an in-law relative. The huge character overhaul is somewhat mitigated as the original Jewish Mother theme can be found also in Italian culture, so to Italian viewers Sylvia-Assunta's relentless interference in Fran's life was perfectly normal, especially as the family was portrayed as coming from a rural and old-fashioned area. However, some very Jewish bits, like Fran's obsession with Barbra Streisand and the flashbacks from the kibbutz, make absolutely no sense from an Italian standpoint. Conversely, the show wasn't changed for the British, and whilst the Jewish love for Streisand is easily understood, the lack of existence of the Jewish Mother trope except for in imported US media means that examples of it are accepted as My Beloved Smother at the best of times, downright confusing at the worst.

John the Baptist lives on "corn bread and collard greens" rather than locusts and wild honey, the shepherds in the nativity story are tending to chicks rather than sheep, the Pharisees become the Southern Baptist Convention, Samaritans become blacks, and Jesus is hanged rather than crucified. Despite all these substitutions, this isn't a novelization or retelling of the gospels, but a versified, footnoted direct translation from the Greek.

The original was set in the 50s America, Polish was set in the 90s Poland — but a lot of gags still made sense. When Ralph and Ed buy a new TV, it's a status symbol in 50s America — but a brand new color TV would still be something a tram (not bus) driver and sanitation worker would barely afford in Poland. Likewise, when Alice/Alina looks for a job she still has to pretend she's Ralph/Karol's sister — many Polish employers are unwilling to hire female workers because of maternity leave. There are some differences — instead of bowling, they play soccer, instead of being in a quasi-masonic Raccoon Lodge, they belong to a club of sergeants.

Interestingly, this version was later dubbed back into Japanese and shown under the name Monster King Gojira, and it was a hit, with future kaiju films including reporter characters inspired by Burr. The makers of Godzilla were suspicious of the poor dubbing of the time and thought American audiences wouldn't watch a subtitled version. Plus, they probably felt that more Americans would get the message about atomic weapons if it was in English.

Most of the time, they fit so smoothly within the episode that it does not even looks like that the original dialogue was changed. However, since many episodes recycle previous scriptsnote actually an intentional practice of Chespirito's, to give every actor a chance to act out a script, in some episodes the references to Mexican history are kept. A particularly well-known one is when Professor Jirafales asks Quico who was the conqueror of Mexico. In an episode where the whole vecindad goes to a cinema, a bored Chavo keeps complaining: "It would have been better if we had gone watch El Chanfle".note A football-themed comedy by Chespirito himself and starring the same cast as the show. As this film was never released in Brazil, it was changed to "PelÃ©'s film", which viewers understood as refererring either to the documentary Isto Ã‰ PelÃ©, or the more recent Os Trombadinhas. A three-part episode features the vecindad's residents on a vacation in Acapulco. When it was dubbed for Brazilian viewers, Acapulco became GuarujÃ¡ for second and third parts but remained Acapulco for the first one. The Brazilian dub was also notorious for changing the names of Mexican (and, sometimes, even American) celebrities mentioned in the show to Brazilian ones. The only aversion was with HÃ©ctor Bonilla cameo As Himself, since the channel that broadcasted the show (SBT) was notorious for also broadcasting Mexican Telenovelas and the audience would likely be familiar with the actor. In some episodes, when Spanish text is shown on-screen, the translation brings up some justificative for it since the dub alters the show to be set in Brazil. In one episode, Chavo reads a sign reading "Se solicita mesero" (Looking for waiters) and points out that "Mesero means waiter". In another one, Sr. Barriga puts up a sign with the word "Prohibido" (forbidden) written on it. Since in Portuguese, the word is spelled "Proibido" instead, the translators added a line by DÃ³n RamÃ³n stating that "The H is out of place".

Cultural Translation / int_880cfa15	comment	The German version of Hogan's Heroes added a whole new character (Colonel Klink's housekeeper...and maybe mistress), added different German accents — all of the important Germans have a different one: Klink's is from Saxony, Schultz's is Bavarian, General Burkhalter's is Austrian... the only ones speaking standard German are the Americans. Newkirk, instead of having another English accent, stutters. Because certain Nazi phrases are illegal in Germany, they work around that "Heil" thing a lot.

Cultural Translation / int_88f055ec	comment	In Full Metal Jacket, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman nicknames Leonard "Private Pyle", a reference to the bumbling protagonist of the sitcom Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.. Since this reference would fly over the heads of non-Americans, international dubs had Hartman give Leonard different nicknames. In the German dub, Hartman calls Leonard "Private Paula", because it's both a female name and, presumably, sounds close enough to Pyle. The Italian dub, meanwhile, turned Leonard's nickname into "Palla di lardo" ("Lardass"), and also changed "Snowball" into "Biancaneve" or "Snow White". The French dub calls him EngagÃ© Baleine. Baleine roughly translate as Whale in French. The Spanish dub (more specifically Spain) calls him Recluta Patoso. The word Patoso roughly translate as either Clumsy or Smart Aleck in Castilian Spanish (which is a common word used only in Spain).

Cultural Translation / int_893bf98d	comment	Charlie and the Chocolate Factory changed quite a few terms and items used in the original U.K. text for its U.S. publication: fifty-pence piece to dollar bill, Square Sweets That Look Round to Candies, and the Great Glass Lift to the Great Glass Elevator, etc. This had an interesting effect on the sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, which was released in the U.S. first and specifically locates Charlie's hometown and the factory in that country when it was left ambiguous in the first book. The U.K. edition has extra dialogue added to the opening chapter to cover for the book using elevator in place of lift. (Mr. Wonka explains that now that the lift is flying, elevator is a better term for it.) While all adaptations of Factory use the term elevator, other cultural detailing is usually downplayed in favor of a Where the Hell Is Springfield? approach (the key exception being the 2013 stage musical, which heavily implies that the town and factory are in England).

Cultural Translation / int_89fd748e	comment	Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Antoni Marianowicz's Polish translation changes all the parodies of (mostly forgotten) Victorian English poems to parodies of equivalent Polish poems. One Swedish translation does the same. The Polish translation by Grzegorz Wasowski, among other things, throws out the scene where the Mouse cites the history of William the Conqueror, as it's incomprehensible and irrelevant to most Polish readers (especially young ones). Instead the translator wrote an entirely new scene where the characters engage in a Hurricane of Puns with a warped version of Polish history. In Russia, one cartoon adaptation has Alice reciting a distorted "This Is the House That Jack Built," which is well known in Russia due to Samuil Marshak's translation. The Russian translation by V. Sirin (a Pen Name of Vladimir Nabokov) might be one of the most extreme cases of this trope as applied to Wonderland. The protagonist herself is renamed to Anya, the history of William the Conqueror as told by Mouse becomes the history of Prince Vladimir Monomach, and poems Anya recites are mangled versions of children poetry common in Russia at the time.

Cultural Translation / int_8f4ee60f	comment	Back to the Future: In the French dub of the first film, Marty's brand name was changed from Calvin Klein to Pierre Cardin (which can be confusing, as Pierre Cardin is more commonly associated to haute couture than affordable underwear). In the Spanish dub, it is Levi Strauss (Levi Strauss underwear?) because there was no foreign underwear brand that was particularly famous in Spain at that time. Ditto for the Italian dub. In the French dub, Marty's comment that he knows CPR is replaced by him saying he works for SAMU (the name of the French Emergency Medical Service), since the CPR acronym is not well-known in French (people would most likely use expressions that translate as "first aid" or "cardiac massage", which are less likely to be opaque to a 1955 person). Since SAMU was founded in 1956 it remains an acronym that will puzzle someone from 1955, and as a bonus offers the additional joke of someone asking who is this Samuel Marty says he's working for. Also in the French dub, the 1.21 gigawatts is changed to 2,21 gigawatts, because in French 1.21 would't have the very audible 'S' at the end.note Numbers between 1 and 2 are plural in English but singular in French... and France uses a comma as decimal separator. The German dub of Back to the Future Part II translates the Ronald Reagan reference "It is morning again in America" (even in the afternoon) as "Amerika erwache!" (America, awaken!), a variation on "Deutschland erwache!", a slogan of the Nazis during their rise to power. Naturally, this doubled as a Take That! at Reagan, who had caused controversy in West Germany with his deployment of Pershing II missiles in the country and his 1985 visit to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II, which saw him speak at a German military cemetery in Bitburg where 49 members of the Waffen-SS were buried.

Cultural Translation / int_8f838aaf	comment	Ryuichi Sakamoto had a modest hit in the UK with the Thomas Dolby collaboration "Field Work" in 1984. This led to his 1984 album Ongaku Zukan (Music Encyclopedia) being released internationally in 1986 with a new tracklisting under the title Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia. This version removed five of the original album's tracks and added the singles "Field Work (LON)" and "Steppin' Into Asia", as well as the song "Ma Mere L'Oye" (renamed to "Zen-Gun"), taken from a bonus single packaged in original copies of Ongaku Zukan. It also renames the song "Haye No Haneshida" ("Wings of the Trees") to "In a Forest of Feathers". The reworked album has a markedly different feel — it is more in line with the western view of Japanese music and lacks the original version's classical, jazz, and experimental pieces.

However, most of New York's rain comes in storms, with many sunny days in between, while Seattle's rain mostly comes in a drizzle, leading to constantly overcast weather outside the summer months.

Cultural Translation / int_9284ad43	comment	Unfortunately for the series, this translation got more and more difficult over time. The first game didn't reference Japanese culture very much, so there was no difficulty in culturally translating all of it. Then in the second game we see the Fey family home, which is a Japanese temple in the mountains. Since this only involves the setting, though, the game mostly just kind of ignored the fact that this was clearly not America. But in the fifth game, there's a case that revolves around Japanese youkai mythology, and in the sixth, another case revolved around the Japanese art of rakugo. The official say on the matter by the localization team is that the series actually takes place in an alternative universe America, where anti-Japanese-immigration and settlement laws were never passed, which is referred when Nine-Tails Vale is stated to be have been founded by Japanese immigrants. Awkward Zombie parodied this here.

Cultural Translation / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible: As the the Bible has been translated multiple times across many languages and for many different cultures, some attempts at this have been made. In general, Biblical translations fall onto a spectrum between literal translations which try to preserve the linguistic content of the text on one end, and dynamic translations which try to clarify the meaning of the text or make it more readable on the other end. More extreme examples of dynamic translation qualify for this trope. The common perception of the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Eden as a Tempting Apple is partially this, partially linguistic drift ("apple" used to have a much broader meaning), and partially pun (the Latin words for "apple" and "evil" are almost identical). European audiences were familiar with European fruits, so they thought of it as an apple. The Living Bible (published 1971) was an attempt to translate — or rather, paraphrase — the Bible into modern vernacular English. It tends to avoid introducing any anachronisms, though. The Message takes a different approach, preferring familiar phrases whenever possible. Sometimes this works, such as when "Blessed are the poor in spirit" is translated as "You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope". Sometimes it's distractingly anachronistic or just not a good fit: for example, the house built on sand collapses "like a house of cards", and Psalm 23's "valley of the shadow of death" becomes "Death Valley". The Cotton Patch Gospel, an experimental translation of the New Testament (later adapted into a stage musical), moves the action of The Four Gospels to the mid-twentieth-century American South, replacing the geography of the Holy Land with roughly equivalent American places, mostly in Georgia.note For example, Jerusalem is Atlanta, Bethlehem is the small town of Gainesville, the Jordan is the Chattahoochee, and Egypt is Mexico. John the Baptist lives on "corn bread and collard greens" rather than locusts and wild honey, the shepherds in the nativity story are tending to chicks rather than sheep, the Pharisees become the Southern Baptist Convention, Samaritans become blacks, and Jesus is hanged rather than crucified. Despite all these substitutions, this isn't a novelization or retelling of the gospels, but a versified, footnoted direct translation from the Greek. The author even translated the epistles of Paul into the same idiom.

In "It's a Hard Knock Life", the Chrysler Building was renamed to the Statue of Liberty. In "I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here", Don Budge is the Champion of Wimbledon. In "Let's Go To The Movies", Charlot and Jaimito replace Charlie Chaplin and Mickey Mouse. Samuel Goldwyn and Jack Warner became Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros, the studios that they co-founded. In "We've Got Annie", Mrs. Pugh's verse mentions Annie's positive attitude (in regards to dancing to the Charleston and bewitching [everyone] with her mocking look) instead of Benny Goodman, Bing Crosby, Mutt & Jeff, and Eleanor & Franklin D.

Cultural Translation / int_a656a587	comment	The Truth: The Czech translator was given a different problem. Vampire Otto Chriek, in-universe, comes from a remote Slavonic corner of the Discworld. To reinforce this, in a moment of great stress he is given a long heartfelt expletive to shriek in his native language. In the English version, Bodrovaskie Zheijet! is a meaningless piece of cod-Slavic. The translator's problem lay in making this meaningful in a Slavonic language. Did he replace it with a real swear word? Did he fudge around it? In the end, for the Czech market, he wrote Otto in subtle little ways suggesting he was Russian and left the cod-Slavic exactly as it was in English, reasoning his audience would not be offended and would understand only an uncouth Russian would swear as luridly as that, what could we cultured Czechs expect from Russians? The Czech translator of The Truth was the Czech translator of the whole series who regularly attended fan meetings, so by that point he probably knew pretty well what to expect from his readers. The translator approached to do the Polish version allegedly threw his hands up in horror, declaring that he did not consider it possible to think like that in Polish.

Most remade episodes take place around the same time as the original (e.g. the episode about ensuring that Lope de Vega boards the right ship in the Spanish Armada is now about ensuring that CamÃµes boards the right ship in the India Armada), but some can depart centuries. The Pilot, instead of being set in the 1808-1814 Peninsular War, is set in the Portuguese Crisis of 1383-1385; and because the villain now comes from a time before firearms, he stabs two cops instead of shooting them with an antique pistol. Meanwhile, the two-parter about JuliÃ¡n being stranded in the 1899 Siege of Baler is about his Portuguese alter-ego Tiago being stranded in 1975 Timor.

The taxi driver (who also changes both ethnicity and gender) was a bicycle courier rather than a scooter-riding pizza delivery boy before. The Peugeot 406 taxi turning into a mean, lean rally machine is replaced by a Ford Crown Victoria turning into a kind of streetmachine with even more useless Rice-style body modifications. While Emilien Coutant-Kerbalec is simply untalented at driving a real car, Jimmy Washburn has to be completely clueless about automobiles, maybe because Americans were thought to be unable to grasp the concept of simply not being able to drive a car. The original villains were two stereotypical German men like the French see the Germans in two Mercedes-Benz 500 E. Perhaps also since the American stereotype of Germans, lederhosen etc., wouldn't look good on tough bank robbers, they were replaced by four supermodels in a BMW.

Cultural Translation / int_c511c682	comment	Translations of Asterix do this quite a lot. Due to the series being a Hurricane of Puns, the translators skillfully altered cultural refferences and created new Punny Names to preserve the originals' trademark humor and wordplay. Asterix in Switzerland features Asterix and Obelix having their cart repaired by the mascot of French oil company Antar.◊ The English translation replaces him with the Michelin Man,◊ which keeps the "mascot" gag as something Brits would recognise, but is bizarre in context, as instead of a short Gaulish warrior, Asterix is confronted with a man made out of tires. This results in a pun Obelix makes in the next panel where he mutters, "Call me fat! Did you see his spare tire?" Confusingly, in later editions, the Michelin Man is replaced with the Antar warrior again, but Obelix's comment is left intact, ruining the joke for English readers. In Asterix in Belgium, one of the Belgians becomes obsessed with the idea of cutting root vegetables into chips and frying them. Upon finding a bit of pirate ship with mussels growing on it, he wonders if they'd go together, referencing the Belgian dish moules-frites. The English version has him leap from mussels to fish, as a reference to fish'n'chips. In Asterix in Britain, when two background characters are arguing over the price of a "melon." In French, "melon" can mean "bowler hat," but it doesn't have that double-meaning in Britain. Therefore, for the English edition, the exchange was translated to, "Oh, so this melon's bad, is it?!" "Rather, old fruit." Many of Cacofonix's songs count. In Asterix and the Normans, Cacofonix sings a variant of "Un kilomÃ¨tre par pied" with Latin terms. The English version has him sing "This old man, he played unum..." In Asterix in Spain, Unhygienix mentions having inherited property in Carnac and wanting to develop it with menhirs, implying that he arranged the Carnac stones. The English translation changes the location to Salisbury Plain, a reference to Stonehenge. Asterix and the Great Crossing makes a point of having a bunch of Danish vikings discovering America, teaming up with Asterix and Obelix. The Norwegian version translated the leader of the Viking discoverers to be Leif Eiriksson — a Historical Domain Character who actually grew up in Iceland, and was the first European in North America anyway. His father, Erik the Red, was conveniently redheaded, and gave his name to the (originally Danish) chieftain who also sported red hair. Eric the Red was a Norwegian native, by the way. The Danish references were somewhat blurred by this, but the historical in-jokes gained an extra layer for Norwegian readers. The Asterix books also convey the humour Parisian French speakers gain from the weird way French is spoken in places like Belgium and Switzerland, and especially from dialect French spoken outside Paris. In ''Asterix and Cleopatra", people from the South kingdom of Egypt are depicted as speaking in exaggerated Southern French accents — the languedocois dialect of the south-west is heavily parodied. This posed as problem for the British translation, which kept the theme of bucolic country folk from a long way away coming to the sophisticated metropolis; they were given parody The West Country accents, from a south-western region thought of by the rest of Britain as yokel farming country.

And the famous "Dead Parrot" sketch has the dead parrot replaced by a plush parrot.

Cultural Translation / int_cb6abef3	comment	In The Avengers, Tony Stark at one point refers to the fact that Steve Rogers alias Captain America has been frozen for 70 years by calling him a "Capcicle", a pun on the superhero's name and either icicle or Popsicle (an American brand of ice pop that has become a genericized trademark). It seems that the creators of the German dub have chosen the latter interpretation, even though this brand is unknown in Germany. So, Tony calls Steve "Captain/KÃ¤ptâ€™n Iglo" in the dub instead, the local name of Captain Birdseye, the mascot of a brand of frozen food. This even serves as yet another one of those pop-culture references which are going straight over Steve's head, due to to Captain Birdseye/KÃ¤pt'n Iglo having been introduced as late as 1967/1985, as opposed to Popsicles, which have been existing by that name since The Roaring '20s.

Something similar happened to the episode "Johnny Meets Adam West", which was re-titled to "Johnny Saves Mom", also likely due to West's obscurity in Poland (though in that case only the title was changed, West remained West in the episode itself).

Except in that case, it turned out inferior to the European French, and seemed like it had ridiculous amounts of gratuitous swearing even compared to the original (and even considering QuÃ©bec French is well-known for Cluster F-Bomb). Even worse is that they weren't modern QuÃ©bÃ©cois swearing but some of the 90s such as torieux, a slang term for someone who plays lots of pranks). Sega Dreamcast is changed into PlayStation in the Polish translation simply because no one there knew what a Dreamcast was. "Come Sail Away" was swapped out for "La Cucaracha" in a dub aired on Mexican local TV, while the other Spanish-language dubs used other alternative songs in its place. Starvin' Marvin was referred to as "Paco el Flaco" (Paco the Skinny) in the original Latin American dub. Big Gay Al became "Gran Pato Al" (pato being slang for an effeminate gay man). Some celebrity references are also replaced, likely because of their obscurity in Latin America. Sally Struthers from "Starvin' Marvin" became Shelley Winters, while Tina Yothers from "Pink Eye" became Shirley Temple... Yothers is also replaced in the French Dub (Farrah Fawcett), and in Hungarian (Zsa-Zsa Gabor). In the Taiwanese dub, Kyle's family is Buddhist. Other jokes are changed as appropriate: for example, when learning that the Tooth Fairy is fake, Kyle also asks if it's true that Mainland Chinese live "in hot fire and deep water" , as Taiwanese children learn in school. "They're fine." "Ahhhh!!" In Brazil, the dub of the early seasons of South Park had several Brazilian pop culture references, such as celebrities and soccer teams, despite the fact that the town of South Park is always covered in snow.note Snow is pretty rare in Brazil, being seen only in small scale in southern areas during winter. Later dubs stopped with this trend, keeping the references the same as the original.

Cultural Translation / int_dd6c417	comment	Samurai Sentai Shinkenger's Sixth Ranger was an aspiring sushi chef, with the motif extending to his Ranger gear (a fish-shaped sword and scabbard, lobster and squid mecha, etc.). Power Rangers Samurai adapted the character's seafood theme by making his counterpart a fisherman instead. Antonio does still have the portable restaurant stand, though; mostly, the names of dishes that you'd have to be Japanese to know get removed/changed. However, Genta's Transformation Trinket looks just like one such sushi dish; because that wouldn't translate, Antonio's is different. So after the episode where he's turned into sushi and nearly eaten by a cat, where Shinkenger has Genta afraid to use his Sushi Changer because of the flashbacks he gets, this wouldn't make sense; the same plot is used but the source of the fear is that Antonio's sword looks like fish.

Cultural Translation / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: The English translations of the games change the setting from Tokyo to... a Los Angeles which looks a lot like Tokyo. English-speaking fans have lampshaded this by referring to the setting as "Japanifornia". Even the localization team's head has stated she likes this nickname. In the final case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Trials and Tribulations, an instance of curry is changed to gravy in order to maintain both the flow and the context of a plot point involving word play. Other localisations manage similarly: in both French and Spanish, for example, it's based around some form of sauce. Maya's Trademark Favorite Food is either ramen or burgers. This threw people off when they first meet the ramen cart man in Apollo Justice, though in the Professor Layton crossover she is shown eating burgers with Phoenix. It also got riffed in a yonkoma from the doujin collection Official Casebook: Phoenix Wright, where Maya says that she's craving burgers, but she's forced to also eat ramen "for the sake of Maya fans around the world." The Punny Names get the treatment even with characters that have Japanese names start appearing. Unfortunately for the series, this translation got more and more difficult over time. The first game didn't reference Japanese culture very much, so there was no difficulty in culturally translating all of it. Then in the second game we see the Fey family home, which is a Japanese temple in the mountains. Since this only involves the setting, though, the game mostly just kind of ignored the fact that this was clearly not America. But in the fifth game, there's a case that revolves around Japanese youkai mythology, and in the sixth, another case revolved around the Japanese art of rakugo. The official say on the matter by the localization team is that the series actually takes place in an alternative universe America, where anti-Japanese-immigration and settlement laws were never passed, which is referred when Nine-Tails Vale is stated to be have been founded by Japanese immigrants. Awkward Zombie parodied this here.

Cultural Translation / int_e649de81	comment	The classic French song "Les trois cloches", strongly associated with Ã‰dith Piaf, eventually became a big hit in America as "The Three Bells". While the English translation keeps the concept of tracing a man's life from his birth to his marriage to his death, a few little adjustments were made to better appeal to an American (and British) audience. The original's main character is named Jean-FranÃ§ois Nicot, which to French ears would sound plain but distinctive (like, say, a similar English name like John Nichols), but the English version changes it to the more common and humble Jimmy Brown. The French version prominently talks about a priest's blessing, reflecting France's Catholicism, while the English version talks about a more Protestant "little congregation". And in general, the French version is more of a rumination on the fleeting nature of life, while the English version is more of a celebration of life.

Cultural Translation / int_f31d7d98	comment	Drawn Together: The following references have been changed for the show's German dub: In the episode "Spelling Applebee's", references to Tori Spelling are replaced with Rosie O'Donnell and Tim Allen. One reference to Ellen DeGeneres is also replaced with Jodie Foster. In the same dub of the episode "Little Orphan Hero", Bell Biv DeVoe is replaced with Marilyn Monroe. In "Super Nanny", Captain Hero's line "Auf Wiedersehen, Frenchie!" is dubbed over with "Vaya con dios, darling!" Forrest Gump is mentioned in place of Jose "Daddy Long Legs" Martinez in "The Lemon-AIDS Walk". In "Wooldoor Sockbat's Giggle-Wiggle Funny Tickle Non-Traditional Progressive Multicultural Roundtable!", Wooldoor asks Clara, "David oder Copperfield (David or Copperfield)?", in which Clara replies, "Copperfield." In the original, he asks her, "Street or Vegas?", which she gives "Vegas" as an answer. In the same episode, the Ku Klux Klan is mentioned in place of Denny's. In "Mexican't Buy Me Love", Bell Biv DeVoe is once again replaced, but this time with the Pussycat Dolls. In the original version of "Lost in Parking Space, Part One", when thinking of names beginning with "Captain," Foxxy lists Cap'n Crunch as one of them. While in this dub, she lists Captain Planet instead. In the same episode, Captain Hero refers to his right hand as his Stephen Hawking hand, where he refers to it as his Bob Dole hand in the original. This is due to Dole's obscurity in Germany. In "Lost in Parking Space, Part Two", the reference to Invader Zim is dubbed out, and is instead replaced with SpongeBob SquarePants. Mary Lou Retton is replaced with Britney Spears in "Breakfast Food Killer". Quiznos is referenced in the original "Toot Goes Bollywood". But in this dub of the episode, McDonald's is. In the episode "Freaks & Greeks", the "Seacrest" in Ling-Ling Hitler bin Laden Seacrest replaced with KÃ¼blbÃ¶ck, a German pop-singer and actor who achieved short-lived celebrity in 2003, in the media-circus that surrounded the first season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS), the German version of Pop Idol. In the first two seasons, the words "Jew" or "Jewish" were often censored. The Jewish Producer, for example, is in Germany known as "Geldgeiler Produzent" ("geldgeil" is German and means he has a "Money Fetish") In the Italian dub: The episode "Freaks & Greeks" has the "Seacrest" in Ling-Ling Hitler bin Laden Seacrest replaced with Obama. In the episode "Mexican't Buy Me Love", one reference to Jennifer Lopez replaces the mentioning of Edward James Olmos. In the Hungarian version of "Little Orphan Hero", Captain Hero sings Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge", whereas in the original he sings Five for Fighting's "Superman (It's Not Easy)". The Russian dub had references to Russian commercials and reality shows inserted into it, replacing some of the more obscure references to American culture.

In at least one scene shown on TV Land, a rant was translated into English. In the Latin American dub he just talked in a heavy Cuban accent but at least once it was changed in the episode "Cuban Pals" to "Italian Pals".

Cultural Translation / int_f3ef0f86	comment	Artemis Fowl: The US edition of Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox, by the proudly Irish Eoin Colfer, has the equally proudly Irish Artemis start referring to his mother as "Mom" after making an emotional breakthrough. She gains the title "Mum" in the UK edition, but even that may be a version of this trope, as she's referred to indirectly as the very Irish "Mam" in the first book. In the Finnish translation, The Fair Folk, who usually call themselves "the People", are known as "VÃ¤ki". While the word vÃ¤ki (with a lowercase v) in modern Finnish generally means "folk" or "people", it also has fantastic connotations. In Finnish mythology, vÃ¤ki referred to a collective of spirits of a particular domain, something like a Genius Loci Mind Hive.

Kind of justified for the time when the show first aired. For example, in the famous bet game Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance was replaced with Michael Jackson's moonwalking. Rachel's favourite movies Dangerous Liaisons and Weekend at Bernie's were changed to Sophie's Choice and The Terminator respectively.

Unlike most American remakes of foreign films, it is not set in New York, but rather in Miami. The contrast between the LGBT-friendly South Beach and highly conservative (and religious) politics more closely reproduces the contrast between the Saint-Tropez nightclub scene and ultraconservative politics of the original.

The animation itself is unchanged, thus keeping the show pretty firmly in France.

While LINE is very popular in its native Japan, it doesn't have the same pop culture permeance in the rest of the worldnote Although it is available globally in many other languages in addition to Japanese. It had a sizable niche amongst Western fans of Japanese media at one point, but that went away when Discord came into existence and then repurposed itself as an all-purpose chat app, so the title is officially translated into English as "Can I friend you on Bassbook? Lol".

Presumably this is a form of Translation Convention for Talking Animals. Interestingly, the human villains are English accented. Lampshaded by Bill Murray in promotional interviews for the film.

Oddly, it often removes ambiguities that exist in the original show, and adds messages, usually anvilicious ones. Sometimes, because very few people own a gun in the UK, when there is a gun crime in the US version, something else must be substituted, which is usually much less dramatic.
