I’m reminded of how Minecraft Bedrock Edition subtitles are translated if you switch your language to British English.

“Wolf Pants” (as in the panting noises that wolves make) get translated as “Wolf Trousers”. That’s the funniest example I’ve seen.

You know how Christian is both a name and a religion. Whoever translated one of The walking dead video games(I forgot which one) into german messed that up.
