^aah, THAT was what you meant! *g* okay, I get it now, so it is indeed "nein" in the german version. :D thanks! ^^

So.. Nein is Doh in German.. How come Mark didn't know that? Aren't you German also Mark? :huh: :stunned: :huh:

I'm not German, I only live in Germany.

I don't watch German TV.

If "Doh" has indeed been translated as "Nein" on German TV, then it's pathetic!!

That's one of the reasons I'm so anti-dubbing - they never get it right.

"Doh" has become an international buzzword for The Simpsons.

That kind of thing should never be "translated". It would have worked just the same in German, as it isn't a word, just a noise!! :angry:

the word 'doh' has also been culturally accepted here in the US... its been added to the dictionary as an actual word. :)

Exactly - but as it's based on a "sound", it shouldn't be translated. There's no need....................

I have a theory, though - perhaps the German "buyers" thought he was saying "No". That would make sense!!

I thought you said you were in England? :huh: So...you are not German, but you live in Germany.. got it.. so I'm guessing you are English?

 

I don't see why they would want to change it..but that's not a reason to be upset about.. :stunned:

It's a pet hate of mine. The meanings of film titles have been completely changed by such translations. It's unnecessary.

They even tried to translate Shakespeare. You can't - it's far too complex.

Rhyming couplets cannot be translated without ruining the whole "feeling/sense" of them.

It will never be the same.

Translating a groan or grunt is ludicrous and laughable, and insults the intelligence of the viewing public!

WTF happened to my posts??? :angry:

WHICH posts? :huh:
