Don't know, really.

It's the old people, they don't speak english. if they're going to attach the subtitles, might as well translate the title too. so yes, i blame old people. as it is, many people judge the book by its cover so it would be unwise to make the cover hard for them to understand.

i feel for you...in my country they tend to prefer precise translation. you can usually tell by the name which movie it was in english.

Yeah, one silly idea so long ago and they couldn't undo it. But the worst Polish translation in my opinion is "Terminator" which was translated to "Electronic Murderer"

oh wow...electronic murderer...that really puts into perspective how some cool things can be ruined by their names. that'd be like naming matrix "computer simulation" or something.

don't get me started on translations in hebrew. we have the bizzarest team who translates movies
almost everythng has "lethal" or "american" in front of it.

"The Hang Over" was translated as "On the way to the wedding we stopped in Vegas" which made everybody think it's a chick flick and made it fail in theaters
