The art of losing a joke in translation
Had a subtitle job this week with a pun so culturally specific it would have died in English. Spent an hour trying to recreate the rhythm, then another hour deciding to just let it be a different kind of dry remark. The audience won't laugh the same way, but they'll get the scene's tone. This is the work nobody sees.
